The problem with police brutality is that most cops are lead to believe their actions are justified because the system usually backs them up. The referent for "protect and serve" used to be the American public, but it seems that it now refers to "government interests". This is a truly ugly and difficult situation we're in and it's hard to say what the right way is through this. But thankfully, we've now got a pervasion of shaky smart phone cameras out in public to silently record the truth.

Yea, I always wondered why the (Serve and protect) isn't on the side of the car anymore. Plus , I agree , that the judge just lets the bad police get away with anything.
