24. The mayor of New York City is a liberal. For instance.

I think the poster was making the point that abusive policing doesn't just happen in cities or states where the GOP is in power. And that's certainly true.

Your point is interesting, though, too, and it goes to the issue of effective civilian control of police. Why is it that some places with liberal leadership have police running amok?
