Mid-sized papers giving me hope

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune is in the middle of a nine-part series on "how Florida police officers can stay on the job despite multiple complaints, crimes."

Reporters analyzed the 22,000 cases in the FDLE’s misconduct database, then filed public records requests to get the personnel files of more than 250 current and former officers.

Impressive stuff (and depressing). Gives me hope.
