    To date, only one officer has been fully decertified by the commission, which was created by a 2020 policing reform law to give the state more supervision of police departments and their officers.

    I guess the Massachusetts decertification program is better than nothing, but not by much, if in three years they’ve found just one cop in the whole state who shouldn’t be a cop.

      I think it’s relevant that the recent one wasn’t putting innocents in jail, or using excessive force. Scam a landlord though, better watch out MF!
