Would any of you feel sorry for him then? Nope, probably not. It's only a big deal if the cop is at fault, or a white guy is at fault. Or if the cop is white.

    On the whole the police are a good force. Having none to enforce safety and order would be scary.

    Keep your nose out of trouble, and it's less likely trouble will come to you.
    Human beings commit crime all the time, look at our government, the officials there commit more crime than common folk, including the president.

    So......................your point is moot.

He said department policy prohibits them from engaging when there are two or more perps. Although, he would took on Brown alone and probably took him down. He is built like a Mack truck and an all-stater in wrestling and took three different types of martial arts.
