AN ANALYSIS OF STATUTORY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS’ BILLS OF RIGHTS (2005) by Kevin N. Keenan and Samuel Walker - The most important question, examined in this article, is whether any [Law Enforcement Officers Bills of Rights (“LEOBORs”)] provisions impede the effective investigation of alleged officer misconduct and consequently militate against the principle of police accountability ... American police officers, acting through their collective bargaining representatives, have succeeded in gaining a special layer of employee due process protections when faced with investigations for official misconduct. Commonly called Law Enforcement Officers Bills of Rights (“LEOBORs”),1 these protections are codified in the laws of fourteen states ... No other group of public employees enjoys equivalent legislation related to disciplinary matters, and the provisions of some LEOBORs grant police officers more specific protections than are provided other public employees in federal, state or local civil service laws samuelwalker.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/POBillsofRights.pdf ***************************************** PLEASE JOIN FREEZE DONT SHOOT (FDS) for a WIN-WIN-WIN for DOGS-CITIZENS-LAW ENFORCEMENT - become a member of the FDS Facebook page for YOUR state - LINKS to state pages at: https://facebook/events/1387273054897347/?ref=22 FREEZE DONT SHOOT (FDS) APRIL 25, 2015 NATIONAL MARCH #2 https://facebook/events/1387273054897347/?ref=22 VIDEO OF FREEZE DONT SHOOT NATIONAL MARCH HELD AT STATE CAPITOLS ACROSS AMERICA ON OCTOBER 25, 2014: Short version: https://youtube/watch?v=swS_4Sk3j3k Full Version: https://youtube/watch?v=soTx-zD-XTU MORE FREEZE DONT SHOOT VIDEOS https://youtube/watch?v=Se52PZAM83Y https://youtube/watch?v=a7_mKrfiwAk https://youtube/watch?v=aU2adAyHihE Pages with Links to Facebook pages of PUPPYCIDE victims cops-shooting-dogs.blogspot/p/fb-cause-pages.html AND https://facebook/notes/695738733833790/ The PUPPYCIDE page from Animal Voices includes links to PUPPYCIDE publications from professional law enforcement sources and national animal welfare organizations: animal-voices/puppycide/ Webpage with links to numerous PUPPYCIDE articles furbyshouse/Dogs-Shot-By-Police.html Dogs Shot by Cops: https://facebook/groups/357653880997442/
