We the people should have the right to vote out a police officer based on proof that he’s a bad cop. Citizens pay tax dollars to pay officers to protect and serve, and that’s not what’s transpiring in many situations.

We the people can vote out mayors, governors, Congress members and presidents. Why not at least give citizens a voice in this area? It would definitely improve many police situations and could eliminate lawsuits, too.

I say once a month a meeting should be held by each town’s mayor for citizens to vote on bad police officers.
