Each case is different, and must be treated according to the facts, not with a blanket let the officer do his job or a catchall execute the cop.

You got that right! Call 'em like you see in when you have all of the info you can get. That's what is supposed to be done. And for sure there are some in uniform that need to find a new career. When the repeat problem children in LE do something very bad, I think it's called "Unlawful Rentention" in civil courts and that is usually the motivation for Admin types in LE to start yanking badges.

Doesn't always work though, too many keep slipping thru the cracks.

Not a lot in actual numbers, IMHO, but one is too many.

I've never been a police officer but I worked as a security guard. It wasn't a career choice, just a job with hours I needed and they were hiring at the time and my kids were at home wanting to eat. I was not one of those cop wannabes that go into security work because they couldn't (thankfully) make it through the selection process.

Most LEO's would treat me like a brother officer and talk openly. Many quickly earned my respect. One treated me like I was no better than your average potential perp on the street (i.e. civilian), and one other I was convinced was actually looking forward to shooting someone. This last I am glad to report was Mcmanaging, last I heard.
