    Not surprising at all, there’s been so many cop brutality incidents over the years. Off the top of my head, a cop broke the arm of an elderly woman with dementia and the cops laughed and joked about it. There was another case where the cops make a man crawl on floor before executing him. People don’t just become monsters overnight. They’ve been trained over the years to behave this way.

      shout out to Loveland Colorado, one of the most overfunded police districts in the country. If you haven’t seen that video definitely look it up. It’s not even an altercation it’s literally just two dudes sitting and yukking it up while they torture a screaming geriatric woman.

      Bodycams are making a lot more of these available now too. Saw a brutal one where cops paralyze a handcuffed guy by breaking his neck, then they sit prop him up in a sitting position and complain that hes uncooperative because won’t move.

      That was a year ago, the dude is dead and the cops got off scott free.
