The cop in question had a series of complaints and zero reprimands.
Policitians and law enforcement leadership could do a lot more to prevent
police brutality. Police unions are too powerful, Qualified immunity gives
cops carte blanche. Militarization of police forces has to stop. The drug
war has to end.

Citizens of all races have put up with poor treatment by the police they
hire to "protect and serve" them. They tried peaceful protests--remember
the NFL taking a knee?--and that wasn't acceptable. This has been a problem
too long to expect the victims to be patient and polite.
