+1. That's called grassroots accountability.

If those with badges are going to betray the people they are supposed to serve, they need to be willing to face those people both on and off the job and answer for their behavior.

One of the biggest disappointments I see on a daily basis is the attitude that the other cops have about incidents like this. They always give the cop involved the benefit of the doubt, even when they watch the recording and see obvious violations happen right in front of them.

They always say "There are always going to be a couple bad cops, but there are way more good cops than bad ones." But where are the good cops when things like this happen? Imagine if Rodney King had not been recorded. How many of those "good cops" would have reported ANY misconduct to internal affairs? My guess is absolutely ZERO.

Keep in mind that cops wouldn't even try this kind of crap if they didn't think they could get away with it. And they wouldn't think they could get away with it if they hadn't already done so numerous times before. So how many similar incidents go completely unreported?

On equipment: You get what you inspect, not what you expect.
On training: Our drills are bloodless battles so that our battles are bloody drills.
On tactics: Cheating just means you're serious about winning.
