TBH acting this violent against the most vulnerable is why police are so revered in the US.
There’s an appetite for lies about murders committed in daylight and on camera. And there’s appetite for news footage of police beating peaceful protestors.

We can't show [public enemy du jour] being torn apart by lions in the arena anymore, but we can show drug dealers and terrorists being gunned down by the thousands in pop TV shows. They worshipped gladiators, we worship cops.
