When police are being investigated for a crime and, against the considerable odds in their favor, seem to be on the losing end of it they are allowed to resign- especially the higher-ups. I think they should make it so that any civil servant who is under criminal investigation for a situation involving them in their capacity as a civil servant should not be able to avoid the investigation by resigning and if convicted they should be tried as that civil servant and convicted as that civil servant, not a civilian. Obviously, their resignation will then be amended to a termination. I also think that crimes involving public servants in their capacity as public servants should be penalized more severely than a normal citizen because they operate from a position of public trust and their actions serve to undermine the trust people have in their societies governing structure. A police officer, a fireman, a doctor who is found guilty of crimes against a public person, group, body, or institution should face harsh punishment. Which is worse? A normal person robbing or killing someone...or a police officer- someone with power and uncommon access- someone given the benefit of the doubt in almost any scenario- to rob and/or kill someone. The law has not really prevented people from violating it- especially when the greater administration and community surrounding them is complicit- but at least there is some grounds for justice to appeal to.
