[TryingToWarnYou]

Cops do not routinely beat the shit out of people for questioning their behavior (erroneous is a bit presumptive). Ive been in LE for 14 years and Ive never seen it. We are all anonymous here and I have nothing to gain by lying to you. Do cops use excessive force sometimes? Absolutely. Are they punished for it? When they are caught, yes (as evidenced by your own video you linked to). You have absolutely no facts to back up your claims. You have your opinion and, like mine, it means diddly.

As for the Tulia incident, that needed to happen. The cop lied his ass off and a lot of innocent people ended up in jail. I havent kept up with the case, but last I heard, the cop was facing some criminal charges now. I dont know if he went to jail/prison. Did he?

You should always question authority. It should never be presumed that authority is correct, always. However, that said, there is a time and place for everything. For instance, arguing with the cop on the side of the road for giving you a ticket is not the time or the place. Going to the court and taking your case before a judge is the right time and place. /example.
