And no, it was not clear and that's why I asked. So a union steps in a mitigates punishments and enforce contracts in the in the private sector but no such thing should exist in the public sector? Who will want to do that incredibly underpaid and thankless job knowing you have ZERO protection from arbitrary retaliation? If you want greater accountability and transparency then petition your local government for it and offer to serve on or help create a civilian oversight board, have you done that? Rules for thee but not for me. Got it...

What does a NASA report or an ASAP have to do with anything? No such thing exists in policing to simply file a report and be free of repercussion for making a mistake.Those things have their place and should remain in place but I have no idea what they have to do with the topic.
