There's so many problems with police accountability it's hard to know where to start. They get time to scrub their social media after a homicide, they're usually allowed to resign on their own accord, they get time to make the police report the way they want it, business' always cooperate with keeping video footage hidden, the FOP is insanely strong, police associations endorse judges, prosecutors, etc. so they have an incentive not to charge them, they have immunity from being sued for negligence, the courts have ruled they have no duty to protect the public, homocide/sexual assault settlements are always paid by taxpayers, officers are almost always hired at a different department even after resigning/being fired, they almost always assassinate the character of their victims immediately after, there's just an endless amount of deep flaws in the police system that all contribute to these goons believing they're above the law, for good reason. They get away with it 99.9% of the time, so why would they ever be hesitant to shoot first ask questions later?
I mean Daniel Shaver's murder is one of the most horrific murders I've ever seen on video and that guy got no time and ended up getting rehired years later just so he could collect pension for life. Not only did he get a pension, but he claimed "Accidental disability" and the disability he claimed is PTSD FROM KILLING DANIEL SHAVER. Because of that claim he will get 30k a year for the rest of his life, from taxpayers including the family of Daniel Shaver. Tell me this system isn't fucked to the core.
