The Blue Code of Silence is Just the Tip of the Iceberg
[edit]Underlying it all, in every police department except perhaps in the smallest municipalities, Tammany Hall kingdoms exist. We live in a weak democracy where the mayoral (our mayors) provide no supervision over the police. Because of this, police departments are super overemployed, with about 80% of all policemen sitting at home, year after year, like volunteer firefighters, collecting $150,000 to $200,000 wages. New policeman right out of the police academy work for a few years, but as those at the top retire and the new ones move up, they will be asked to sit it out after just a few years. When I took my municipality to civil court on "official misconduct", providing wage lists, shift information, and math (I have a corporate background in both Personnel and Payroll), the case ended in an early dismissal, I was fined $17,000, and the judge was immediately promoted and made my county prosecutor to cover up the crime. To stop this, we must wake up, get the media involved, and make government transparency and public oversight the biggest thing for society in the 21st Century.
