At Least They Weren't Summarily Executed

That seemed to be the bar these days for police misconduct.
Two documentary filmmakers taken into custody on Sept. 17 in a mass arrest in downtown St. Louis have sued the city and three police officers whom they allege assaulted and arrested them because they were journalists.
...
The lawsuit said when the kettle closed on Drew Burbridge, he asked an officer if he and his wife could exit, explaining that they were part of the media. He was ignored.

Then police officers sprayed chemicals at the people trapped in the center, including the Burbridges. Two officers threw Drew Burbridge to the ground face-first, twisted his arms behind his back and repeatedly kicked him in the back while restraining his arms with zip ties. Even after he was restrained, the suit said, three officers struck him all over the body with batons. During the beating, one of the officers asked, “Do you want to take my picture now, (expletive)?”

Burbridge said he lost consciousness from the beating, but came to when an officer lifted his head by the hair and sprayed him in the face with a chemical.
By the way, their allegations aren't the only ones out there. There were others, including the cops beating one of their own.

It was apparently a police riot and not the only one that's happened. But don't worry. The cops will surely investigate themselves and therefore, justice will be done.

In a pig's eye.

220 American citizens were killed in the last 12 months by "cops" aka law enforcement. They were ALL African Americans. Many who weren't killed went through what this article describes. Just saying ...what are Wethe people to do about this?
