The problem is the police departments are not really forthcoming with what the complaints are, how true or realistic they were and what the punishments are. It's just another case of lack of transparency. To be perfectly honest, the fact that we leave holding police accountable to the police, it's kind of a shit show all around. If you are expected to self police your own misconduct, how truthful are you even capable of being?
I'm not saying the system is perfect by any means. Just pointing out how it is set up. # of complaints really doesn't mean anything. Number of disciplinary actions is what needs to be looked at. And I'm in no way defending Chauvin, who by all accounts is an ass. That said, he was overcharged, and will be convicted of a lessor charge for not rendering aid. (IMO)
