So tell me, ...what did this guy do to deserve it?

30. Lol, I know. There is simply no logic to it considering the past seven months of evidence that

beating up citizens is what they do. And that each time someone tried to give them benefit of the doubt, the right wingers always believe cops even AFTER the evidence surfaces and leaves no doubt, we always end up seeing the video. Then there is silence, until the next time and the whole scenario is repeated.

It helps explain though how things got this bad. There should be zero tolerance for this kind of behavior, and it should be unanimous. When a society refuses to excuse criminal behavior in its elected officials and public employees, there is far less of it. The US tolerates torture and other war crimes, there is virtually no outrage, it's amazing. Also tolerated are massive economic crimes, there is an acceptance that this is how it is. Again, no appropriate outrage.

I read a while ago that Americans are traumatized as a nation, like abused people. That they know nothing better so don't realize how awful and inappropriate what they accept as normal, really is. I doubted that, but now I'm not so sure. To be so desensitized to brutality and crime of such magnitudes, probably is a form of trauma. Not even our government killing children with drones gets any kind of appropriate reaction.

Maybe it's all too horrible to acknowledge so denial is the only way to cope?
