HOLDING POLICE ACCOUNTABLE: Officer hopped to multiple departments after reported issues, lawsuits

Not long after a Frankfort police detective’s reported warrantless entry into a home led to dismissed charges and strong words from a judge last summer, he was able to get a job at a different agency in another county. It wasn’t the first time he was accused of similar behavior.
Larry “Guss” Curtis worked at the Frankfort Police Department for five years, and his personnel file there shows his supervisor reported a number of issues. But, the incidents that led to two federal lawsuits against Curtis don’t appear to be among the issues documented in the file.

Police doing wrong because they know they will get away with it. End qualified immunity. Hold public officials at higher standards.

[@kiowa4440]

The end qualified immunity battle cry is cool and all and I'm all for it but qualified immunity only protects from civil litigation and then only in certain circumstances. "The doctrine of qualified immunity protects state and local officials, including law enforcement officers, from individual liability unless the official violated a clearly established constitutional right. " End quote. What you really need to do is elect prosecuting attorneys who are willing to prosecute criminal cops but since they're all part of the good old boy system good luck with that.

There's a video of cops raiding a home, with a cop who's clearly tripping on some high potency drugs and not one of 5 cops wants to acknowledge it. It's called a pattern of practice, and it's been built into their toxic sub culture. The solution is easy, elected officials need to start being removed for allowing attorney generals and district attorneys to not prosecute title 18 section 242, then start removing prosecutors who fail to charge police in criminal matters. Then go after the individual departments. Elected officials also need to add legislation that removes qualified immunity, and criminalized unionization of government jobs. Then these cops will start following the law. It's only once their legal protections are removed will any incentive to improve begin, body cameras have only made the issue more viewable. Chiefs still aren't firing bad cops, prosecutors aren't charging, the FBI isn't investigating, attorney generals don't care, and it starts from the top down.
