Police Data: https://old.reddit.com/r/DataPolice/
Note: The following collection is not meant as a tabloid of horrible acts. I strongly believe some portion of them are entirely appropriate behavior. Rather, these are meant as a collection of stories which can be explored to find the dividing line between justifiable acts and misconduct.
Alleged Inappropriate
Recent alleged incidents of inappropriate activity (not necessarily bad, but examples for finding the dividing line):

Good Side
- https://old.reddit.com/r/news/comments/sydrmh/utah_man_accused_of_telling_4yearold_to_shoot_at/
- https://old.reddit.com/r/news/comments/tqa7c2/police_shoot_man_being_held_for_mental_health_at/
- Mental health patient charging at a cop with a weapon. Tragic, but I think this is a good example for the good cop side.
Rough Concept
- Level of Scrutiny
- In an ideal society, what level of scrutiny should citizens have over police?
- In an ideal society, what level of scrutiny should police have over citizens?
- If those two things are not in balance, why?
- Improvement of Scrutiny
- How do we improve the quality of scrutiny, in each case?
- Exposing Bad Acting by Scrutinizers
- There are bad scrutinizers; in each case, how do we expose and inhibit them?
- Improving Good Scrutiny
- In each case, there is good scrutiny; scrutiny which can create a path to improvement.
- How do we increase good scrutiny in each case?
