“Yes, best to assume the cops acted correctly, even when and especially if video exists to the contrary.”
No kidding! I am always concerned that we allow cops to have weapons! My experience with them is that like every other “government employee.” cops think that somehow they are above the very laws they have taken an oath to uphold. I used to “be friends” with our town’s first Chief of Police because he married a family friend. We are friends no more now that I know more about how he comported himself as a LEO. He’s now 75 and has just joined a church. He wife says its because he feels guilty about his behavior back when he was in uniform.
Prison guards are worse, but “fortunately” they’re not out on the street much on duty.
They like beating people up.
