In the bigger cities the Internal Affairs Division takes care of the bad cops and granted there are plenty - But - do you honestly think and want every citizen carrying a gun. Think about what you are saying on this point. A bill for citizens to carry like the one for Law Enforcement would put handguns in the hands of gang members, outlaw motorcycle gangs and all the rest. No thanks on that one !
I don't think we are going to see a mass shooting and misuse of power by Police due to this bill. If this takes place where a cop oversteps the bounds they will still have to face the courts where it took place and again when they get back to their home state.
On the training end of the thing I don't know if large cities have more or less training for their officers. I think this really depends on the Department brass. In the Department where I am working now we have as much or more then the largest city in our state and it is a rather small Department. There are Standards set by the State that we have to go by and follow so these areas are covered.
If you have tapes of wrong doing by "certain" officers then you should turn them over to the internal affairs and let them deal with it. I feel it is your duty as a citizen for the welfare of the community and by not doing so does not and will not help anybody. I have said in the past and will again that the bad cops need to be weeded out and sent to hand out shopping carts at Wal-Mart.
