This isn't about being charitable or getting along with my fellow freepers (for whom I hold no malice).

One of the worst problems today is the unchecked actions of various police forces around the country. Cops literally get away with murder on a regular basis, and this is because of "qualified immunity" which protects them from actions that would land the rest of us in prison for a long time if not for the rest of our lives. Let's just take a couple of recent instances and flip them around and think what would happen if a peasant (sorry, a "citizen") did the same thing to a cop that the cop did to the citizen.

Throw a grenade in a cop's house and maim the cop's toddler. Shoot a cop in the back. carelessly firing a weapon into a crowd of police killing a cop

Now if it would be wrong for any of us to do these things (and it would be wrong) why is it OK for police to do this and not face any consequences?

Perhaps.

However, I am 500 lbs and only 5'2".

Which poses a lot of logistical problems.
