I wouldn't say sensible, unrealistic or implausible is closer.

"Sorry madam the last person I dealt with broke my camera, I'm not a cop at the moment"

Political policing departments... Hhmm you think the police equivalent of trump are going to be any less corrupt?

I'm also sure housing the police where they work would definitely no in anyway make them, their family and property, any sort of target being as everyone loves the police.

He could help in any way a normal citizen could help someone in trouble until another officer arrives with a working body cam.

> Political policing That’s not what I said.

What’s wrong with allowing the public to petition for a police officer to be fired?

Everyone hates the police. That’s the point. It’s a lot harder to curb stomp a kid’s head if you know you’ll see his mother at the grocery store. It’s a lot harder to force a woman to blow you at a traffic stop if she’s in a book club with your wife.

If your profession requires you to have a secret lair, you’re probably a villain.

"Sorry madam I know the theif is getting away but I can only help as a normal citizen"

Or

"Sorry madam I cannot do anything just now I need my camera, if I tried to save her and it went wrong someone could claim I did someone wrong and a mob could then demand I lose my job based on only half facts"

>What’s wrong with allowing the public to petition for a police officer to be fired?

Because as you say everyone hates to police, that would mean you're local high level gangster could drum up enough support to fill the ranks of the police with cops who wouldn't touch them.

>Everyone hates the police. That’s the point. It’s a lot harder to curb stomp a kid’s head...

Also a lot harder to arrest those dangerous and violent criminals who will then take revenge on you, your family or property. But then I forget if you're a cop your family is fair game, because fuck cops right?
