San Jose's mayor is calling for action against alleged police misconduct, including an officer accused of masturbating inside family's home on duty.SJPD Chief Anthony Mata was seen yesterday escorting Officer Matthew Dominguez out of Internal Affairs after he was arrested for indecent exposure while on duty.

Despite the video shared by police, Civil Rights Lawyer John Burris worries accountability may not actually be demonstrated. He says officers accused of showing up drunk on the job, indecent exposure, dying from drugs, and offering a meth pipe in exchange for information should not happen if there are true consequences to actions.

"There has to be a sense that officers are gonna be held accountable for misconduct, whether they injure someone or they're in violation of the various rules that they have," Burris said."If you don't do that, then you send a clear message to your officers that the rules don't matter and you're going to be protected no matter what.

the 'police' are a slave union. 'To extort, and destroy' is their secret motto.

And don't forget this guy from the 2020 George Floyd protests. Is he still on the force SJ Chief called him a 'good kid'. What a mess. Is police reform even possible anymore? Anywhere? 🤔

This feels like social contagion to me — SJPD has worked hard to beef up its ranks from the community and that means a few bad apples, but it’s a mistake to not see what’s driving this (a racially, socioeconomically and culturally diverse force, scaled up fast) and go from there.

Adams says he’s taking a ‘deep dive’ into police disciplineMayor Adams said he is looking into reforming the police disciplinary process, claiming that the current one is too cumbersome. Adams did not provide a specific timeline for reform, suggesting that he was still studying the matter. Ah yes, I trust a literal cop to reform the already nonexistent cop disciplinary system.

Are we going with that line of donkey doo this time? lol sure he is
