    It’s still a crime. Americans just don’t care if cops commit crimes. If they did, they would do something about it.

      I havent tested it out, but I feel like we’d lose in court trying to call any cop assaults a crime. They have qualified immunity-- thats usually just complete immunity.

          we know. And no US political party will change anything. Biden increased police funding when it was brought up, and Trump just funneled more of our money to “law enforcement” than most countries spend on their entire defense budgets. We spend 1.5 trillion per year on unaccountable law enforcement thugs now.

      the Police union is not a true union, its a mafia gang, that can browbeat or have a stranglehold on any city they are in, thats why the gop fully supports that “UNION”
