Re: What man soweth he reaps

The US police seem to think they live in some form of an immunity reality distortion cloud.

It does sometimes seem that every case of police abuse follows the same pattern -

The police department say everything was done by the book, the officers have no case to answer.

If it goes before a Grand Jury that will decide there was no case to answer.

If it makes it to court there will be an acquittal

If there is a conviction the punishment will be mild.

That is pretty close to immunity so it's not surprising cops engage in abuse when they know they will most likely get away with it.
