It’s awful. Infuriating. I can’t imagine what these guys were thinking. Did they believe there would be no consequences?
“Did they believe there would be no consequences?”
While those cops may have not been thinking of the consequences, a Shelby County jury will make them think long and hard about the consequences.

True. In these camera filled viral video days police and others have to expect everything is being watched.
A tragic day.
As with school shootings, blame will be spread with a broad brush over police in other states who didn’t violate any rights. But also an example of “absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
We the “domestic terrorists” aka conservative citizens may be at the end of baton bashes tomorrow. Quite common in 1968 to have protesters against Humphrey’s Dem convention kicked, stomped on and brutalized by the Chicago police with FBI undercover agents’ collusion. We’re political, too, from the opposite side.
