near bad cops. Somehow we need to incentivize good cops to turn in bad cops. The unions often stand in the way of that, as you point out, by creating an environment where they run to the defense of bad officers and shame anyone who criticizes law enforcement, no matter how bad what they've done is.

Instead of there being repercussions and stigmatization for turning a bad cop in, there should be rewards for turning a bad cop in.
