Will transparency lead to police harassment?




There's no doubt that law enforcement is coming under severe scrutiny. Some police officers are being exposed for their brutality against people they are supposed to protect. I would be totally against publicly posting the officers' names if it weren't for the fact that many of the so-called good apples don't report their rogue colleagues. Police departments have never been truly capable of policing themselves. Unfortunately, they will have to endure this spotlight to clean up the profession. Hopefully, lessons will be learned, and they can restore the prestige lost because they chose to remain silent.
