I am NOT a libertarian, but I strongly object to abuse of authority by law enforcement or any agent of government.
These “officers” should be sued into poverty as well as their full chain of command about them.
When are we going to get back to the concept that police are a respected part of the community (not separate from it) that have the mission to serve and protect the community. They don’t exist to be oppressive or heavy handed.
Most folks still think that way. Unfortunately, many cops don't And especially their leadership.
Not all cops are bad, but in many cases they have to be excessive to succeed in their career.
