Tear gassing pregnant women, shooting at an old man on a wheelchair, attacking journalists, pepper spraying 10 year olds, etc.

All this crap while covering their name, badge numbers and turning cameras off.

Police unions and their code of silence have enabled all sort of abusive behavior.

Technically in NY and a few other states, the police can legally kidnap you and rape you without any liability.

Police unions are running a protection racket with the cities and municipalities they engage with. I'm at a loss for words for understanding how this even happened. It's a national embarrassment.
