How are the police held responsible for their actions in a “free” society?
What will be an ideal response?
: Police are held accountable for their actions via the ability of citizens to vote, organize, and protest. Through the power of voting, citizens hold elected officials responsible for their actions and for the actions of those who work under them. As a result, elected officials have expectations for police administrators, who in turn have expectations of their officers. In addition, citizens also have the right to organize and protest if they are unhappy with the behavior or actions of the police.
