Ya know, I spent 30+ years as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer and I'm appalled by what I see these days from these young, steroid induced, badge heavy thugs masquerading as cops. Some of the shit I see astounds me, and the only reason we're now seeing this crap is because of the proliferation of cell phone cameras/video, before that, the general public never saw the brutality of cops, it was usually he said, she said and the PTB's usually sided with the cops. (sighs in wonder and shakes head.)
