> ACAB in my country is forbidden The authoritarian worship in this comment really says enough about the totalitarianism of your country. Police are public servants. As such everything they do or say should be held under perjury. Police, leaders, government officials, lawyers, judges should know more about the laws than average citizens to. Being in a position of authority and having that power should come great responsibility, so great in fact that you should have to serve 3x the prison sentence for betraying that trust. Same should go as well for ethics violations for clergy, medical professionals, teachers, etc. you said earlier if it was your family who was murdered you'd hope the police would do something, no? What if it was the police who murdered your family? In L.A. the police are in actual "cliques" which are basically "gangs" with special tattoos and other gang related rights of passage. How do you trust the police when https://reddit.com/r/policebrutality2020 https://reddit.com/r/policebrutality2020 has thousands of links of police hurting people, yet when people in the "in group" that they respect (white nationalists) try to destroy the foundations of our democracy, they step aside and let it happen?

The totalitarianism in my country? I'm from The Netherlands, one of the most free and democratic countries in the world. With regards to police brutality, its a one sided view. Its an angle from a camera, from one point of view. It lacks different views, it lacks context. A body cam can show the context from the police PoV. To give an example [1] shows a woman who gets blasted by a water cannon. These are meant to drive people apart. However, at that point, these people were in an area where a demonstration (which was escalating into a riot and pillaging). The area was at that point forbidden to be (which always happens for a reason). If you don't listen to such, you're on your own.
