I side with Wang on the drug planting cops. Suspension is the first step.

But we see this time and again.

1) Cop does something bad.
2) Cop get's suspended (because that's the first step).
3) People cry out that cop's never get in trouble.

And then that's it. The story tends to get ignored from there and it just gets tossed into the pile of "times that cops get away with shit". The only time it resurfaces is if down the road it gets reported that the cop was not convicted for whatever it happened to be. But it's seldom reported on or cared about in situations where it goes the other way.


Maybe police departments just need to do a better job clarifying that they are taking their obligatory first step and that it's not the end of the story? Or maybe that should come across more clearly in the articles? Either way it's a problem.
