    Every responding officer should be held accountable… But, unfortunately, our current laws don’t provide a framework for such a thing. Legally speaking, this case was kind of a shit show from the start. It’s very surprisingly even got an indictment.

    That’s not to say these officers should not be held accountable, but the sad thing is that we simply do not have laws for their crimes

      We should change that.

      They don’t need to protect or serve us but we have to follow every command, conflicting or otherwise or we get shot?

      We need to have better laws.

      Police can lie to you and they aren’t legally required to help anyone. Yet they demand our obedience and cooperation. Shit is fucked.

        And people willingly bootlick these brave heroes who “f34r for muh life!!!” and start blasting when an acorn falls. Or when they step in front of a moving vehicle.
