Cops in Buffalo were given the opportunity to make a statement against their Bad Apples when they cracked a 75 year old mans skull on the pavement. An opportunity which they took.... to stand in solidarity with their Bad Apple.
Not all cops are bad cops - say the apologists.
Yes we are - say Buffalo cops, with enthusiasm.
The cop who killed the recently deceased Rayshard Brooks remained a free man, while a couple who set fire to an unoccupied and previously vandalized police cruiser in protest were immediately jailed with no opportunity for bail.
Police malfeasance may contain itself to forgotten and marginalized populations in the main, but that's just a practical concern...for them... - given the opportunity there is no one and no group which they wont casually shit on at every conceivable level. This, because the police are accountable to no one, and they know it. They have routinely campaigned against any effort at accountability by insisting that they run a protection racket. Quiet parts out loud, I suppose.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
