I would bet long odds that many of the posters on this thread would support the cops even if they had executed the whole family.

That would be a pretty stupid bet.

Actually, a decent bet is that most of the cop haters here would gun down a cop in cold blood if they thought they could cleanyl get away with it.

I think you are mis-characterising the majority of people who do not like to see real police burtality. Not the made up kind which many real criminals claim every time they are caught.

I am talking about cops who brutalize an innocent family with no justification. By no justification, I am not talking about whether they are innocent or not. No one who is not resisting needs to be treated that way.

The real knee jerk nuts are the ones who can't see the obvious. Who excuse even the worst police excesses. Who see the same video everyone else sees and see things which are not there or do not see things which are.

In short they are dishonest.

Doubt it, I think they are mostly "armchair" cop haters.
A better bet is that the cop had kicked the dog and knocked out a tooth, there would be many serious calls for the cop to lose his job (i.e. he kicked too hard, etc)
