I agree soaper
Real smart move Jep.
I like it how the police are allowed to beat the living hell out of people, gang up on them, taze them, mace them, let dogs loose on them, rough ’em up after they have already surrendered and are facedown on the ground it also seems to be mandatory procedure that one of the cops has to jam their knee right into the back of the subjects neck whether they are resisting or not. Like I said, usually at that point the individual has given up and is submitting or has already been cuffed, but just to make everybody safer one of the cops drops the knee onto the head for good measure.
Anyways, the police are allowed (and definitely exercise their right to) to do all that, but yet if one of them gets “poked in the chest” assault charges are filed. I guess I could see where that would hurt…it’s not like they are wearing bullet proof vests or anythi…..oh wait a minute…
How embarrassing.
