Because they're anti-government and don't want the government to tell them what to do or control them, yet they also blindly worship police and bend over backwards to justify their killings. You do know that police are the government, right? They are agents of the state. They are literally law enforcement. Can't think of anything more pathetic than rushing to defense of law enforcement, that operate under an authoritarian government and enforce the laws of that authoritarian government, and take the side of LE rather than the people who are powerless against them. Really, conservatives end up being so unabashedly pro-police because liberals are criticizing the police, and they can't help but be contrarian to liberals no matter what. That's the stupid truth of it.
The US is a police state, to a certain degree. No other free democracy allows their police officers to murder with such impunity. They need more controls.
Honestly, it makes much more sense when you see their unyielding support of police brutality as support of violence done by the powerful against people who at least aren’t them. As long as they’re not the ones suffering under the jackboot, literally any atrocity done by them can easily be brushed off as people just doing their job. When Derek Chauvin strangled George Floyd for 9 1/2 minutes last year, I can remember Biker decrying the outcry against it, saying anyone who objected to George Floyd being forced to sing of the hardness of tarmac was denying the cops their right to self-defense. Even though not only was he not a physical threat (and even his resisting arrest, if the body cam footage is any indication, mostly consisted of his freaking out at the possibility of getting in the paddy wagon and no actual violence), but for a good-sized portion, he wasn’t even responsive. And, yes, I know he was a felon. No, it doesn’t really make what happened to him any more justifiable, especially since, as far as I can tell, there’s no real way Chauvin and company could have even known about his rap sheet.
Frankly, at this point, more than anyone else, Biker’s stance on this sort of violence reminds me the most of a Hannah Reloaded video about a guy who went out of his way to deride a video about how precarious a situation that Twitch streamer SweetAnita was in due to a stalker that her local authorities were ignoring. After giving out traditional bromides about how she should get a dog, learn a martial art, or get into a relationship with a man so he could protect her, and after all those ideas were shown to be flawed, and after we’re treated to a case where a stalking victim fled her home, was found by her stalker, and killed, he just says “what can I say? That’s the way it goes. The N—-a just lost mortal combat.” I get the feeling that whenever Biker hears of someone killed by police, this is basically what he’s thinking. Admittedly, most likely without the N-word, even with the soft a, and the fact that the guy Hannah’s responding to is one of those black guys who casually drops N-bombs is why I’m not going to post it here, but if you want to find it, it’s called “Guy Disgustingly Uses #stopstalking to Defend Stalkers and Murderers || Chud Watch”.

It does nothing of the sort. Read the law. They can still spray people, club people, and shoot people. The reason they ‘won’t play’ is that they want to be able to spray people, club people and shoot people wherever and whenever they want, with or without cause, and with no recriminations or consequences.

Last year 54 people died because of lefty protestors.
Where' s THEIR Congressional investigation?
Why aren' t the murderers all over the news like one guy with a silly horned hat with his feet on a desk???
Why does the Capitol Riot deserve a congressional investigation but not the 54 people who died during left-wing protests? Well, the fact that the Capitol Rioters directly targeted and threatened members of Congress is a good enough reason to start with. And since I know you balk at the prospect of holding people accountable for crimes they tried to commit but failed to pull off, at least one of them stole the computer from Nancy Pelosi’s office.
