      Until cops get consequences for their actions and I mean prison time they will not only continue to do this shit but get worse.

        My prediction is this will stay roughly the same until a major event involving someone killing or grievously wounding a cop, claiming self defense (or defense of others) , and being acquitted of any major charges. And I don’t mean a no knock warrant situation where a good ole boy shoots at “intruders” just busting down the wrong door. I mean like a George Floyd case or a Daniel Shaver case. Something with a ridiculously over aggressive cop starting shit and losing.

          There was an incident years ago where police carried out a no-knock raid at the wrong house and killed a baby with a flashbang grenade and they suffered no consequences that I can recall.

            Yeah not even that will deter them. Only way this changes for the good is if majority of progressive take charge of the government and they pass a law forcing cops to carry liability insurance then you will drastic changes.

            Wasn’t that in Detroit where they threw it in the kid’s crib? And also while being filmed for a reality TV show? Edit: I was a little wrong on the details, in fact, she was flashbanged first and then shot. Wiki

          You realise this has already happened? Plainclothes officers attempted to arrest someone without identifying themselves, one was shot and it was ruled as self-defence.

          Police get killed all the time, and nothing happens. I’m not exactly sure why you think this specific situation, that has already happened, will suddenly change things.

    Regardless of any legal outcome, I wish every one of these fuckers, plus the judge who signed the warrant, has nightmares about what they did that night every time they close their eyes for as long as they live.

    I know they’d have to give a shit in order to have nightmares about it, but a man can dream.

        I’m sure they don’t even care about what happened.

        It’s just a paycheck to them.

    I am vehemently pro-union, but the police union either needs to be broken up or made to seriously reform. Protecting cops from corrupt superiors and getting them fair pay is one thing. Protecting them from the public is quite another. Unions are supposed to do the former, not the latter.
