I know cops. Dad was one. My mothers brother and a few cousins. all NYPD.
Lots of good honest cops. And a minority of creeps. Real creeps at that.
I will suspend my judgement till I know. But a handcuffed and on the ground perp? I don’t expect this to come out good for the cops who on the face of it will most likely be at fault.
I’ll take your word on that, and for good reason.
I used to believe and support the cops. All that has been washed away in the last decade or two. And that for good reason too.
It’s very unfortunate, police are to be the first line of physical defense against uncivilized behavior.
No more, they’ve gone to the other side of the line.
Now, to use the public words of more than one cop, it’s us vs them.
