"One night during briefing, our watch commander told us that the city council had requested a new zero tolerance policy. Against murderers, drug dealers, or child predators? No, against homeless people collecting cans from recycling bins."

"Police officers will write obviously bullshit tickets so that they get time-and-a-half overtime fighting them in court." This literally cannot be more true. It's a very real thing. And it doesn't even matter if the charges stick. They can show up, "not remember," and get paid.

"A non-trivial number of police officers commit intimate partner violence and use their status to get away with it." And this will often result in an IA investigation, which will go nowhere, and will cause the files to be sealed, especially if it never reaches court.

"A non-trivial number of police officers use their position to entice, coerce, or force sexual favors from vulnerable people." Here's a rare example of where one was found guilty of just some of the charges.

"Say, “I don’t answer questions,” and ask if you’re free to leave; if so, leave. If not, tell them you want your lawyer and that, per the Supreme Court, they must terminate questioning. If they don’t, file a complaint and collect some badges for your mantle."

Then there's this, which should be a main call for "reform." "did I need a gun and sweeping police powers to help the average person on the average night? The answer is no. When I was doing my best work as a cop, I was doing mediocre work as a therapist or a social worker. "
