The problem of corrupt cops increasingly is in the news.

Recently, a group known as the Invisible Institute identified over 1,200 officers in Chicago with proven histories of lying and other serious misconduct who had not been flagged by prosecutors. Of those officers, 261 were disciplined for dishonesty on the job. The Invisible Institute project was featured in a recent USA Today article -- attached.

The misconduct included illegal searches, use of excessive force, and giving false testimony. 

Police misconduct can result in wrongful convictions. According to the National Registry of Exonerations, the number of convictions overturned because of perjury and  misconduct by prosecutors or police have more than doubled from 2008 to 2018.

So as the American public is becoming more aware of the extent of police misconduct, why are detectives being instructed in "victim-centered" methods that openly instruct officers to bias their investigation in favor of the complainant?

This doesn't make sense.
