Reply to comment by TopDeckHero420 in Tennessee officers won’t face charges for violent arrest ----- A district attorney says a grand jury has declined to indict police officers after an investigation by Tennessee's police agency into the violent arrest of a Black man for alleged traffic violations by paulfromatlanta

First of all, when you're in a situation which entirely because of your skin has a very significant chance of you being beaten or killed, you might panic too. But ignoring that whole discussion...

Making mistakes and lacking good judgement isn't a good reason to be beaten. Ever. In any reasonable world. The cops are the ones that are allegedly "professionals" who are supposedly trained to handle situations like this. We are the citizens they serve.

It's honestly insane that we excuse shit like this over pretty crap, like you are. If you're being honest about not defending cops, I don't think this is the time to start, bud.
