We need a drastic change in our relationship with our police. There is simply not enough individual responsibility assigned to them, wherein we hold them personally liable for the decisions they make while on the job. We hold other license holding professionals (doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc.) personally liable, so why do police get to hide behind their departments? It's time for that to come to an end. I think if we can ever succeed at holding police to the same level of professional responsibility and liability as the rest of us, we might just see a drastic change in their behavior.
