Somebody here will say that these “jackbooted thugs” deserve it for knocking down some grandma’s doors, shooting her dogs, and throwing flashbang grenade injuring the neighbor’s 2 year old.
Are all cops "jackbooted thugs?" Of course not. Most are not. Just people trying to do their best at a tought job
Are these cops "jackbooted thugs?" I have no idea, but statistically speaking it's unlikely.
For some obscure reason, some people think that if we support "cops" as a group, we must support every action done by every cop.
Some of them probably do deserve it. I am no fan of cops getting away with the things you mentioned, but it is most likely the wrong ones taking the punishment. I have a couple of very good friends that are LE, but I also know at least two that I would not let set foot on my property without a fight. One lives about a mile away (I live in a rural area) that has been suspended,and has been indicted this past week for child porn.
