I believe they should not only allow the highly intelligent in they should enter with a rank.

The resentment from those that "paid their dues" might break up some of this blue brotherhood crap that has to go. I believe any cop caught lying to keep a fellow officer out of trouble or convict a suspect needs to loose his badge and pension. Also interrogation tactics need to change, lying, threatening, and depriving people of food, water, and sleep need to be a thing of the past.

There was a Netflix show a while back about those kind of confessions. It's shocking how much the court systems look the other way just so that they can put someone in jail and consider the case closed. It really makes you wonder how many innocent people are in jail.

What do you think the actual correct percentage is for cases that have closed outcomes? I'm going to guess as a layman here and say somewhere around 85 - 90%.

At least with DNA these days no one will probably go down for a murder or rape they did not commit.

Was on a rape case last year. DNA is not like CSI Miami, basically it’s not the smoking gun everyone thinks it is.
