What happens if a DC Metro Transit cop doesn't like your attitude?

If you're a drunk 21-year-old girl, he'll tackle and molest you.

If the justice system is even close to legitimate, he no longer has a job and she's about to come into a lot of money.

But if experience tells me anything, this will be swept under the rug and the cop will get a one-week suspension and a transfer.

The temptation to kick the cop hard in the forehead would be so strong.

Which, of course, it's not; reading journalist Radley Balko's work would disabuse one of the idea we have a legitimate justice system. And probably make you an alcoholic, but I think most people here have that covered!

I've got to admit, I'm rather fond of tackling and molesting drunk 21 year old women myself. Of course, I usually do it after an evening of drinks...

In America, good cops get punished while abusive cops get rewarded.

Ick. Not surprising, but...ick.

Jason, it's not about reigning in the police (and believe me, I know that needs to be done), but you might find this interesting: Calif. Bar Reviewing Records of 130 Prosecutors for Discipline After Report - News - ABA Journal

I like Balko's suggestions for curtailing prosecutorial misconduct:

Make district attorney a civil service position, not an elected office. That would lessen the incentive for prosecutors exploit convictions to grandstand before voters.
Eliminate absolute immunity for prosecutors. Prosecutors should fear a trip to the cleaners if they lie and cheat to win convictions.
