No, thanks. The first comment, ok, I hear it. This one? No.

Until more of these start shaking out where the people get justice, the cops should not be given the benefit of the doubt. We gave it to them for centuries. Enough. Clearly they have abused and continue to abuse that trust. The default now should be that the cops are lying and trying to cover up their bad behavior: it is the most common thing we see in these situations.

If I replace "cop" with any minority, I'd think I was listening to Fox News LOL
