    Not surprising at all, there’s been so many cop brutality incidents over the years. Off the top of my head, a cop broke the arm of an elderly woman with dementia and the cops laughed and joked about it. There was another case where the cops make a man crawl on floor before executing him. People don’t just become monsters overnight. They’ve been trained over the years to behave this way.

      Bodycams are making a lot more of these available now too. Saw a brutal one where cops paralyze a handcuffed guy by breaking his neck, then they sit prop him up in a sitting position and complain that hes uncooperative because won’t move.

      That was a year ago, the dude is dead and the cops got off scott free.
