Punish police from playing music? Seriously, a flesh wound? Let's call this a catastrophic decapitation that demands immediate jail time without possibility for parole like human trafficking and serial-arson.

The "flesh wound" in question is complete lack of accountability and oversight of police officers, not this one instance of them playing music.

The subject literally is about two police officers in Beverly Hills who played music. There is no mention of brutality, any violation, or any history of violations.

Two police officers in Beverly Hills who played music for the express purpose of masking lawful recordings of them, such that they're extremely difficult to post online unmuted.

Recording an on-duty peace officer is protected by the First Amendment. Officers intentionally making it difficult to disseminate those recordings should not be taken lightly.

Then tell Instagram how offensive you find them.
