Well, now that there's a way to find bad cops statistically, we should be able to weed them out. "The data are interesting, in that they largely support the theory that most cops don't conduct themselves in ways that generate complaints, but a small minority do, and they are prolific repeat offenders -- and that even if they are repeatedly exonerated, they are eventually convicted of misconduct. Bad behavior from a cop in any year is a good predictor of bad behavior in the following years, too. These findings all hold even when you control for cops assigned to "high crime areas" where, police argue, more complaints will naturally occur regardless of their conduct."
