Didn’t take long for the “police do no wrong” bootlickers to show up.

Nothing will come of this case. It does not matter if the officer was caught on video tape breaking the law or violating Constitutional rights.

The “Thin Blue Line” protects its own against ‘civilians’. Civilians exist to pay their bloated pensions, benefits, and salaries.

It would be one thing if LEO protected citizens from crime but they are only on scene for the commission of crimes 3% of the time.

Additionally, police departments nationwide have received court rulings exempting them from actually having to enforce restraining orders or actually protecting citizens.(1)

So, 97% of the time, they are glorified report takers after a crime has been committed and serve to collect taxes via traffic laws.

Footnotes:
