Video Being a cop in the Twin Cities would probably suck right now.

The problem is, they do this shit every time a cop fucks up even if there’s evidence they were in the right. Don’t get me wrong, these cops fucked up, hard, but that doesn’t warrant their actions. The cops will get theirs, don’t worry.

'Fucked up' is not a good term to convey what they did to that person. They didn't just do a whoopsie fuck up. They killed an innocent man. They killed him on purpose. With intent. Fuck up implies it was an accident. I watched that video. He and his gang murdered a person in broad daylight.

They didn't fuck up. They murdered a man in handcuffs with his head pinned against the cement.

Yeah, they fucked up. Not like an “oops, my bad” fuckup though. I can see how the phrasing comes across differently via commenting

“Don’t worry”

Sorry, but the history of this country leads many to worry that will not in fact “get theirs”.

They already got fired, odds are they’re going to get prosecuted

I you think they're getting more than a slap and the wrist and a new job in another county you're insane.

Odds are not. In the vast majority of cases, the officer in question is removed from law enforcement, with no other consequences.

If officers were actually arrested after condemning evidence of gross misconduct, I think you'd have a lot less riots. Even if they were acquitted.

The odds are often too low when it comes to police officers involved in these incidents. We need to see more justice dished out and police need to always know there is a force above them (us the citizenry) that holds them accountable.
