Police officers who were involved in complaints related to excessive force were more likely to work with officers with a history of such behaviors, suggesting that officers' peers may serve as social conduits through which misconduct is learned and transmitted (n = 8,642 Chicago police officers).

I held professional liability insurance as a teacher and it basically covered us in the event of any work-related complaint of misconduct. There were two teachers that I knew of who were quietly fired for serious misbehavior (which was annoying as hell as they weren’t reported but... story for another time) - one for misconduct with a student, the other for assaulting another staff member. I heard through the grapevine at the union that they were dropped from our NEA insurance and could not get a similar policy anywhere else to take them on. This made other schools they applied at worried about their character and reject their applications, thank god. Both quit teaching shortly after.

We needed insurance and we don’t carry guns to work.Why the hell are cops not required to do this?
