    Everyone wants to throw the book at the violent protesters. And I'm 100% down with that, that should happen. But their have been cops in this ordeal equally as criminal, and per usual, they're going to get a pass.

    So this is how many incidents in how many total?

    The police can brutalize, sure, and they need to be held accountable when they do, sure, but out of all the many incidents across the country, does it really account for that much?

    Do the victims of brutality not deserve justice? How often it happens doesn't change the fact that its largely ignored when it does.

    I clearly posted "The police can brutalize, sure, and they need to be held accountable when they do, sure...." My concern is with the proportion of these events.

    Murders are low. People getting roughed up and/or harassed, while not crazy high, is probably quite a bit higher than reported, as situations like those are not always reported and generally don't go anywhere if they are reported.
