‘Pretty staggering’: Thousands of California police officers could be stripped of their badges under new law

California’s police standards commission is bracing to decertify or suspend 3,000 to 3,500 police officers each year for serious misconduct under a new state law, according to estimates from the commission.

The estimates suggest the police officers engaging in serious misconduct in any given year could represent a significant percentage of the roughly 90,000 officers working in California, although some may already be fired or retired by the time the commission moves to strip them of their certification.

  • These cops are ones who have been confirmed "using excessive force, committing sexual assault, displaying bias and participating in a law enforcement gang." I don't have a single problem with this at all. But the prevalence is dismaying (if not too surprising).
