City Denies Man’s Claim After Police Shot at Him Mistaking Him for Christopher Dorner

Not all, but a lot of prosecutors are reluctant to tackle the bad cop issue in criminal court, particularly when their fellow officers are part of the prosecutor's team for all the other cases in their jurisdiction.

Which, I think, is part of the problem. Prosecutors, like defense attorneys, are officers of the court; they're supposed to be part of the "court's team," with a mission of finding a just result, not a part of the "police team," with a mission of putting somebody in jail. More than a few fail to make that distinction, though, either by honest misunderstanding or by ambition at higher office.

That's definitely not a police problem, though.

There was a Senate Bill that made it through to the governor's desk that would allow Cities to take a dispute to District court instead of binding arbitration, but the governor did not sign it. I called, did you?
