they do wrong. In the case of Chauvin, it sounds like he has had issues and has been reprimanded/penalized/fired multiple times. But then Minneapolis hired him despite his past problems. I remember someone saying that Amy Klobuchar should have been questioned as to why she didn't do something about a problem he had some time (a few months/a year?) before the George Floyd incident. Had she intervened then he may not have been on the force to respond to the George Floyd call.
I'm sure the Founding Fathers would be appalled at a lot of things, certainly including the immorality of our current culture.
Mayors don't hire individual police officers, but there is a hierarchy in place. She's probably in charge of hiring the police chief and setting the standards by which s/he wants the police department to act and react. They probably set the budget, and work with the department on what type of equipment and training the department will need. They also oversee the departments that do the investigations into allegations of misconduct and set the standards for how they will be judged... They determine what is recommended, what is ok, what is a judgment call, what is prohibited. They also set the standards for penalties or punishments for misbehavior, up to and including firing or prosecution.
In the case of Atlanta it sounds like the DA kowtowed to the hostile mob and is charging the officer with murder before the Georgia Bureau of Investigation even finished their report. Someone from the GBI even said that the shooting met their standards for "a good shooting"(?). I thought I read somewhere that they said that the officer acted in accordance with the training given to him.
But now that rioting is going on and perhaps for political purposes they're changing the rules of the game and are charging him with 10 crimes including murder. The penalties for murder in Georgia are limited to 1. Life with parole, 2. Life without parole, 3. Death.
That seems way over the top given the circumstances we're privy to.
