In the law profession, lawyers sometimes can face bar discipline or disbarment by not reporting ethical transgressions of other lawyers. Is there anything that parallels this in law enforcement for any level of transgression?

Jon Mallin: yes, you get roughed up by your fellow cops if you report cop malfeasance, and who do you report that to?

But is there any legal construct designed to prevent a complete Blue Wall? Even if it's not effective, I'm a curious about this simply from a legal angle.

lapdonline.org - Consent Decree Overview - Los Angeles Police Department is what happened when the LAPD repeatedly targeted minorities and beat confessions out of them.

John Bump it seems like selective protections, based on patterns of misconduct and the federal consent decrees. It seems strange it isn't uniform across the country. Though, admittedly, in the law profession, ethical conduct is defined state by state but usually similarly.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
