    Do you have any idea how insanely high the burden of proof is for cops?? It’s nearly impossible to meet, even when their misconduct is blatantly obvious.

    Given that, this is a bad ruling that makes it even easier for bad cops (but I repeat myself) to escape consequences for their actions than it already is.

    Missed the “apostrophe t” part 🤦😄

      Maybe you misinterpreted the ruling? This says that law enforcement cannot withold discipline records on the basis that the accusations are unproven.
