> We’ve insulated them from accountability so much that they can basically do shit like this with impunity. Other countries protect cops more than regular citizens yet don't experience the same level of police raids and death by cop. I think the problem is rather that sheriff's departments in the US are run like small businesses; fining people, raiding and confiscating. Preemptive brutality is a sign that these people are not first and foremost protectors, but have to meet a quota. Mercenaries.
