TheAgitator.com: More on Chicago PD: Comments

Normally I wouldn’t  double link a single blog in a subsequent post but Balko’s news feeds are serving him well. I believe police are generally accountable at a higher degree of ethics in terms of the power they wield. However when police and cities decide to use the Scarlet Letter method of shaming the accused (not necessarily found guilty in a court of law), why is it that police are suddenly above the law? Any public officer accountable to the larger population should carry the burden of having the bulk of their work records available to the general public at any time.
