I saw that clip earlier today. The officer was wearing a body camera and he kneeled on the man's back, close to his neck (from the angle I saw, it was hard to tell if the neck was involved, but that doesn't matter). Does he have no clue as to what's going on these days?

I know too much about Romney not to wonder about the sincerity..........but the same could be said of many others. At least He, as they , understand what side of history they wish to be seen as being on.

They are acting with impunity - but the powers that be may not be aligned for their sake for a change.

I have 3 cops as either friend, family friend and cousin.

1 of them has become increasingly hostile as feel he is being picked on by the public while the other 2 feel bad cops get protected too much and think things are changing. One of them told me that he is so self-aware of these actions that he thinks he treats black people way more nicely than others as he is a bit paranoid about causing an issue.

So i would say cops as a whole are all reacting differently to these developments.

Yes, cops are like ''ordinary people' and all are different.

Did those 2 other cops who feel bad cops get protected too much voice their concerns without fear of retribution if they do so publicly (if not actually make a difference)? If they can, it is the hallmark of an organization that can, pardon the pun, police itself properly; if they can't - well, guess what, it's the wall of silence at work.
