[QUOTE="jrandy, post: 16427344, member: 69042"] I'm sure this will get buried, but wanted to add my $.02 to the discussion. The problem is deep rooted and it's the fault of the entire department and who and how they hire. About 10 years ago, one of my brother's friends applied to the San Jose Police Department. My brother and two other friends all got called as references for his character. by the PD. Here's the problem, three of them (not sure who else they called) all gave honest opinions. He always abused power (was working security for years prior), was racist, and was overly aggressive unnecessarily. Well, take one guess who got hired to the SJPD despite three people voicing their concerns? He never got passed the probational period and was fired (thank god). To this day, he still won't tell people why he was fired. [U]My point is the departments knowingly hire shitty people.[/U] They know people are liabilities yet proceed with handing them a badge and gun. That is not OK. Situations like that lead to where we currently are. Easy solution. There is one of two choices: Cities will pay one way or the other. Pay more for quality people and give them training. Invest in good officers. OR, skimp on the hiring process, letting any shitbag that applies become a police officer and slash training due to costs, and pay out the ass for lawsuits. [/QUOTE]
