at the end of the day-
there was no massacre, there was no riot
and there were more bruised egos than broken bones.
in my world that's a good day, but then i live in the real world.
The police are NOT supposed to be like a charging Rhino, that's the whole point. They're supposed to hold to a set of rules and ethics like everyone else is. But it seems, according to this, whenever they feel like it they feel free to assault (Yes, a crime, you're not allowed to beat on people for no reason, not even the police) the media and others. This shouldn't be tolerated at all, and it's sad to see that some people such as yourself feel otherwise.
