I think they were judge, jury, and guess what? They knew who he was. One rogue cop or 2 alone with him. Save a lot of money that could go for single-payer health care. Pretty efficient wouldn’t you say?
Yes, “efficient.” Sounds familiar...
No tears for him. But police, restraint and dirt bags have been adversaries for some time. This is not the first such dirt bag, and won’t be the last. If “rogue cops” get a tacit green light in this case, there’ll be more. “Efficient” has ended badly before, too.
