But I sure don't assume that anyone beaten up by a cop deserved it.
A friend of mine overheard two Berkeley cops one day. This was in the 70s, after the demonstrations in the 60s. The cops are on campus, watching college students walk by.
One of them said, "Things are awfully quiet these days."
The other said, "Yeah, I sure wouldn't mind knocking a few heads together again."
Cops are people like everyone one else and some of them are villains who should be behind bars for the things they've done. They should not be protected as they are.
