Not only shouldn't cops get a pass, but they should be held to a higher standard than everyone else.

The Spiderman movies really overdid this to the point of making it sound cheesy, but with power comes responsibility. Cops are exactly the ones who should be turning in their coworkers who are breaking the law. It ruins the reputations of all cops when a dirty cop is not only tolerated but actually protected.

When they wore regular uniforms and targeted only troublemakers.

Then they aren't in riot gear, are they?

Or you mean when they wear regular uniforms under the riot gear?

Exactly my point, riot gear causes riots.

I think we established a while back that the presence of DanaC is strongly correlated with protests turning into riots.
