Nationwide Fetality

Building on the below post about NYC, here's an article about the west coast and the nationwide phenomenon we've been writing about for how many years now?

• At a January Police Commission meeting, Oakland Police Chief Floyd Mitchell gave remarks highlighting concerns that the excessive disciplinary measures his officers face are discouraging proactive policing and negatively impacting officer performance.
  
  He said, "If you make a mistake in the Oakland Police Department ... you are going to get allegations levied against you that will ruin your career and your opportunity to work anywhere else in the United States. Our officers have been conditioned to do as little as possible to stay out of trouble and that is a problem."
  
  According to Oakland Report, which posted the initial article on this, Oakland's police oversight policies have led to an excessive number of disciplinary investigations of officers, even for minor infractions. The data shows that 92 percent of officer investigations are not "sustained," meaning that the allegation was untrue, within policy, or lacked evidence.
  
  Of those that are sustained, 75 percent are for minor offenses, such as use of profanity or conducting personal business while on duty. All of these incidents become part of an officer's permanent personnel record, the police log, and supervisory files as well as making officers feel inferior.

Golly!  A fetal police department....haven't we been warning and writing about that for probably a decade now? And all of the issues that come with a demoralized and downgraded department?

Cops aren't robots and police work isn't measured and evaluated like corporate work. But lib-tarded blue city shithole politicians will insist they can "fix" it.
