Domestic police forces would benefit from a similar change in strategy. Instead of relying on aggression, they should rely more on relationships. Rather than responding to a squatter call with guns raised, they should knock on the door and extend a hand. But unfortunately, my encounter with officers is just one in a stream of recent examples of police placing their own safety ahead of those they’re sworn to serve and protect.

Domestic police forces would benefit from getting the crap kicked out of them every time they pulled such a stunt.

Check out this link. It indicates that the legal immunity of police in such cases may be getting weaker. One can only hope so!
