These Sheriffs Release Sick Inmates to Avoid Paying Their Hospital Bills
Inmates suffering heart attacks, on the verge of diabetic comas and brutalized in jail beatings have been released so sheriffs wouldn’t have to pay for their medical care. Some were rearrested once they had recovered.

Police, fire, and other municipal workers also double up on the pensions as they retire from one organization and move to another one.
I typically support unions, but police unions are the worst of the worst. And it's rarely about money. It's typically about their unconditional support for the heinous behavior of their own. Have always said that the solution to police misconduct is that all settlements to victims of brutality and police misconduct should come from their pension funds not taxpayers pockets. That would put a stop to such behavior real fast.
There's nothing wrong with pensions. But, when your average police Officer retires with the same pension as very senior DOD military Officers then you know the system is broken.
True story.
There is a building inspector I know. He told me about the time he framed someone. He literally threw him through a storefront window. Then arrested him for burglary. Evidence? He was inside the store with a broken window. It was part of the Rampart scandal.
So he had to "retire". He is now a building inspector. The entire department wants him gone, but because of civil service protections, they can't.

Same in California.
And they do things like this:
Costco shooting: LAPD officer was 20 feet away when he opened fire, police say
Corona police say based on evidence, LAPD Officer Salvador Sanchez was "seated" away from Kenneth French when he fatally shot him.

I've heard through sources the DA's can't really do anything with a case like this and basically take a dive to avoid an indictment. If they do make a case, then the police brotherhood will kill the important relationship with the prosecutor's office.
How about this one, the majority of cops on tape beating Rodney king ended up as supervisors.
A few good apples in the bunch. For the most part f the rest of em but I also don't get triggered when they pop a dude that has it coming, like the guy in the video.
I'm sure it can be stressful, but if it's too much they shouldn't sign on. They also get to stand around make 60/hr for directing traffic impatiently.

Cops are a necessary evil.
Corruption is always going to be a problem with LEOs everywhere.
In comparison to the rest of the world we should be thankful.

Yes, I guess you've seen some pretty high levels of police abuses back home.
I was on a 40 hr bus ride in Mexico back in the day and some of the cops were the WORST. PGR (Judiciales). They looked like crooked cops from central casting - necklace badge, dirty t-shirt, .45 stuffed into the waistband, chewing a toothpick, etc. They would get on the bus and select luggage to toss at random (then not put back of course) & verbally abuse people who weren't quick enough. I woke up from a nap with one of them holding a knife and a package yelling "is this yours? Open it or I'll cut it open!" I was a deer in the headlights but the campesino dude next to me was like, "nah, it's mine, I'll open it." Generally they targeted indigenous passengers the most. Dealing with US cops is a cakewalk comparatively speaking.
Very true. People make fun of CHP but all they do, day in and day out, is walk up to strange cars on the side of freeways with people speeding by at 75 mph two feet away. It's a gnarly job. I have seen it change my brother in law completely, and a few other LEO's I know as well. They get used to being lied to and dealing with the lowest common denominator of humanity on the regular. Pretty soon, everybody seems like a liar and a scumbag. He admits it, it's messed him up.
