  • Through the years, plenty of police departments were willing to hire officer Mark Aldrich. But today, not many were eager to explain why.
    During a tumultuous career in law enforcement spanning four departments, Aldrich would be accused of dishonesty, road rage, engaging in sex acts with a woman he’d arrested and destroying evidence.

You need to actually look at them individually just like you would look at any person individually. The fact he can get job/ after jobs in different city is exactly the problem with policing and why they’re filled with bad cops. Once you’re fired as a cop for incidents this serious you should never be able to work as a cop anywhere in this country.

      That could only be done in Federal court and they don't have civil lawsuits at the federal level. It's reasonable that any employee on any job has protection from frivolous lawsuits. The problem isn't immunity. It's the unions that protect the cops from having their immunity waived when they do something illegal. It should be simple. Cop breaks the law and goes to trial. If found guilty, immunity is waived and the victim can sue the cop directly without the tax payer footing the bill. But since immunity is rarely waived, everyone sues the city and the tax payer is the victim.

      @ralan5527: We don't need reform. We already have a system in place to remove an officer's license to work as a cop. Coward chiefs are the problem. Had they done their job this clown would never been able to work as a cop in MI again. If reform means holding these chiefs accountable then I'm for that. Also, where is human resources in all of this? They play a role in vetting as well.

    Unless cops like this are charged with violation of oath of office, they can just keep getting another job in the next town over. End qualified immunity now and hold bad cops like these accountable.

    • @mommy2libras
      @mommy2libras Před 2 měsíci +1

      This has nothing to do with qualified immunity. Most of that stuff happened when he was off duty and is a part of his record. You should know exactly what "qualified immunity" means before you start just throwing around random phrases that sound good. If you did, you'd know that that isn't what happened here- what happened here is simply the next department either ignoring or not caring about his record, which actually contained all of these infractions.

      I'm going to disagree with you. Most public servants are NOT corrupt. The reason this is a story at all is that this corrupt dishonest cop is quite rare. If they were more common then this wouldn't be a story, right?? I wish corruption among gov't officials was extinct, but it's not. I know this disrupts your narrative of "all gov't is corrupt" but you're wrong, thankfully.

    A police officer from the domestic violence unit concealed my evidence by not submitting my evidence to the prosecutors office. I called a few months ago and I was told that the officer no longer works there
    So instead of punishing the officer, they allow the police officer to move to different departments
