Are you saying that cops are and should be thugs? I think police officers are better than that and should be held to a higher standard than that. There are plenty of good cops out there, but they are very much not advantaged by systems which protect the worst offenders, encourage silence, and discourage accountability. If you think cops are thugs then by all means, encourage a lack of accountability, and they'll become exactly that. Our communities should have higher standards, and the police themselves should have higher standards as well.
