That's 34 people who should be off the streets - so that's notable.

It would also be interesting to find the count of claims where the board was unable to get evidence it was entitled to.

Could be the same complainant with a grudge on a particular beat. Likely not but blanket statements like yours aren't helpful.

You can pontificate that its one rogue complainant or you can check the data because its right there and shows race, age and gender of the complainant. The very first page of data shows one sergeant with 25 complaints composed of atleast 11 complainants over 5 years.

Well, you've agreed that's not likely, so how exactly is your statement helpful? Why are you dragging the conversation to center around possibilities that even you don't believe in?

As long as there's zero accountability or transparency, there will always be the remote possibility that there are good cops out there being complained against, but that should be an argument for greater accountability and transparency, not for assuming the best and waiting for the next time a police officer murders someone on camera to do the same thing again.
