True, automatic ACAB could be problematic. But when you go to the article you find out why people think this way. Accountability is completely lacking in policing.

Each of those three internal charges is considered to be a “serious offense” that can result in troopers being fired.

But Moore, who had two additional charges sustained, received a 10-day suspension and Richter a two-day suspension. Both were transferred to new units. Bentley and Gouveia retired as the investigations began, avoiding discipline altogether; they are now collecting pensions of more than $70,000 annually.

Richter retired in 2021 and is collecting an $83,500-a-year pension.

Moore was later arrested on workers’ compensation fraud charges for allegedly continuing to run his side business while out on disability for the state police. He pleaded not guilty and his court case is pending. He remains employed by the department, which paid him $111,170 last year.

The department kept the matter in-house for years until Hearst Connecticut Media unearthed internal investigation records last summer.
