So there’s not much accountability on any front: it’s extremely rare for an officer to actually get convicted and incarcerated (handy graphic from FiveThirtyEight below), pretty hard for a police officer to get fired, and they’re protected from facing the financial pain, too.

Where do we think reform would be most effective? Do we want more bad cops to go to prison? Get fired? Or shell out a lot of money?
