I mean people should think about that about anything they do. The fact that it's new to police is telling. It's because until now they see themselves as above the law, because they have been.
The only cops I've seen get prosecuted are the egregious crimes. Anything anywhere close to borderline gets a pass, including killing unarmed people.
Look at the cops who beat up that demented 73 year old lady in Colorado. They got a pass from every supervisor in their department and would still be employed if the lady's family didn't file a federal lawsuit and the news caught wind of it. Their supervisors should also face charges for covering it up, including that SOB police chief. If any police department should have everyone fired and rebuilt from the ground up, this is a perfect example. The video of her arrest exists, but don't watch it unless you wanna get really, and I mean really mad.
Yes, good cops exist, but if I was a good cop and I found myself working at a department like this, I would find my morals extremely strained every day. I don't know how long I could work for them and sleep at night.
Oh and fuck that Walmart employee and his/her supervisor for calling the animal cops too. And fuck Walmart the company for calling cops on demented old ladies.

Schielke has noted that the department failed to take any action against the officer until media reports publicized Garner's violent arrest. This inaction was despite the fact that several other officers as well as supervisors were aware of what had happened. Only after reports did officials seek to launch an investigation into the incident resulting in Wednesday's charges, she said.
