Cops Gagged and Smothered a Man to Death, Then Fist-Bumped

After a disturbed man bit an officer, a ‘spit sock’ was put over his mouth, and then more officers got on his back. Yet police say the man’s death wasn’t their fault.

How awful. That poor man didn't know what was going on, it must have been terrifying. Cops seem to go into attack mode as soon as they meet resistance.

Until they can prove otherwise, I am really starting to feel they should just all wear Brown Shirts... :(
Too many are proving to be thugs, not police.

Of course not. They are never/rarely held accountable. :(

a few years ago some cops have been on a serious trial over here because they did something like that. I think they're even in jail for it now

Over here it is extremely rare for a cop to be convicted. :o
