We need some kind of way to get rid of the bad crops within police departments. This is a world-wide problem. I believe the issue is (lack of) accountability. Police officers are not held accountable for their actions. Which is a problem if their actions are severe (e.g. murder, but also racism).

However, the question is whether the reason you mention is a valid one. I believe a better one is that police officers stay home when they are supposed to work. In which kind of profession do you not get fired when you refuse to (show up on) work? Especially when there is unrest and violence on the streets, you are more in demand; your services are needed even more. In such times, staying home is akin to being a deserter in time of war.

I do not understand how one gets away with that. How do they? What is their leverage?

I like to think they're just making our job easier in rooting out the "bad apples" who are more interested in protecting their tribal brethren no matter their behavior than the citizens they swore to protect.
