I doubt it,  I personally know a number of police officers from a number
of different police departments,  including my brother and an uncle ...

And a number of people complain ...  Yes, police officers will be
displined and fired - but only if the make a public spectacle of
doing something clueless - like getting into accidents.

Why are a couple police officers in the Metro area who had their firearms
discharge when they "stumbled" - killing black youths - still on the
force.  Why was a Quebec police officer who "accidently" fired 30 rounds
from his submachine gun through a hotel door killing two construction
workers inside never charged with murder?
