Interesting to see that "white" managed to lead the spate of pejoratives toward the end of the article ("Each of 4 white, ignorant, racist asshole police officers").

Without any facts, I'm skeptical. He should either move on with his life, or make a formal complaint and/or a lawsuit.

I didn't believe Bill Cosby's accusers. Neither did law enforcement. Seeing the cover of the magazine with so many accusers, yeah maybe I and law enforcement were both wrong and it needed a closer look. Didn't want to believe it.

It could be the same with all of these stories of law enforcement behaving very badly. It seems like a weird thing for so many disparate people to be fabricating.

I don't want to believe there is an endemic problem with law enforcement either. What I want shouldn't matter at all.
