Why don't they charge their officers when they commit crimes against citizens?

[@joekev27]

Cuz they fire them and in the eyes of law enforcement thats a really harsh punishment so they wouldn't want to punishment their officers anymore. Wild mentality but its one the police have.

[@NovaDexter]

The fact cops get "paid leave" is criminal

[@user-mp9rd4hg8b]

I agree with the sentiment, but innocent until proven guilty is still a thing, though. It's called due process. This is what the probe is for.

[@RasAlXander]

​@user-mp9rd4hg8b Except everyone but police get fired way before a trial even happens, let alone most people not only get fired but charges get dropped and yet you're out of a job in 2 days. "Innocent before guilty" is such a scam when it only applies to those who work in law enforcement or any other judicial system jobs. I find it insane how everyone else doesn't get paid leave when arrested, no matter if innocent or guilty. There's no fairness or justice when the majority are fired without being proven guilty.

[@brettstarks1846]

[@bobmephitis8206]

@@user-mp9rd4hg8b I agree that everyone deserves due process and should be considered innocent until proven guilty beyond any reasonable doubt. However, for most of us that hasn't been how the system works for a very long time. If public sector individuals and the protected classes have greater protections than the rest of us, which they do, then this is not okay. One group gets arrested, charged, jailed, and prosecuted while the special people get extra vacation days. It is only due process if the process is the same for everyone. Also, you are misunderstanding what the 'probe' is for. The probe is to delay and cover as many backsides as possible while making the problem go away as quietly and painlessly as possible for the special people. When they 'probe' us regular folks, they are often trying to find some way, even if they have to lie and stretch the law to its breaking point, to take your freedom and property. Don't you see that this is the crux of the problem?
