But this online database is just a lighter form of that. Accountability sure, all good, but this can quickly turn south and become a hit list for these individuals to be targeted in a multitude of ways. Let's be honest about that.
The day there is real accountability for every case, I am on your side again, granting policemen the privacy they deserve. But that is quite far off. And it is something police can control themselves.
Similar to how I see catholic priests and their tendency to fuck little children. The day the curch proovably demonstrates that they are hunting the bad apples for real, I will stop calling them all a bunch of rotten souls.
Just show you have your act together, and people will stop hating you, it is that simple. But whining about privacy while your gang is harassing citizens is just not on the menu.
Do you seriously believe honest and law-abiding policemen could be scared and intimidated by being recognizable by ccitizens? I highly doubt that. Transparency is good, speaking against it is a good indicator that you might have a hidden agenda here. IOW, I personally dont trust people that utter sentences like this to be actually real, or nice to talk to.
