This is why we need civilian oversight of every police department. Cops are generally too corrupt and/or too incompetent to investigate their own. They've proven their inability to hold themselves accountable for their actions, so it's up to the rest of us to do it.

>>psycho+Mg
Is there evidence that indicates police are more corrupt than anybody else?

>>austin+xz
This is a nonsensical question. How does one measure "corruption" and how do you quantify it?

IMO these sorts of questions are kneejerk reactions without any significant fore- or after-thought. They only serve to disrupt the conversation.

Corruption is a provable violation of ethics which is measurable.

In so many of these police related threads on HN lately people make absurd claims and then are upset when asked about data or objectivity, which suggests people are looking to complain about something and don’t want their complaint validated with data, which is strange.

Here you go [1]. This DB contains multiple provable violation of ethics in multiple measurable and easily digestible forms such as graphs and stats.

I assume you will agree that this is close to objectivity and therefore police are indeed corrupt?

Yes, qualified data is essential because the goal is accountability, but that still doesn’t answer my original question.

>>austin+771
Your original question was 'where's the data'. I provided the data. How does that not answer it?

Yes, and I provided you evidence. You claimed in an earlier post

And I provided you exactly what you wanted. Yet you seem to be dismissing said evidence out of...? Your feelings?
