Just another case of "it ain't nothin', s'long as you didn't kill nobody white."
People keep asking, when is this gonna' stop? I think it isn't gonna' stop. It ain't logical, but some peeps is gonna' continue to resist arrest even though that's inevitably a losing proposition. And some peeps continue to threaten and or shoot at cops, even though that never ends well. Cops be skerred, and who can blame 'em? They mostly just want to go home safe at the end of their shift. Most, I say, cuz there are some like Streamer referenced above, sometimes former military, or not, who just wanna' kill 'em all, and let God sort 'em out.
Most cops are good cops. But there are some bad cops. Always have been and always will be, regardless of screening and training. The formula for survival is pretty simple: don't be threatening or shooting at cops or resisting arrest. And hope you don't encounter a bad cop or a good cop having a bad day.
The thin blue line brotherhood is total BS and a poor excuse for inaction (or for the Cops...a great, fantastic excuse for inaction). It's always US vs THEM and as a civil servant, if that's how you lead into any situation, you are going to keep having bad times. Good cops (+ Police Unions) covering for bad cops is how we've gotten to this point amiright? The public at large is always going to be full of idiots of some form or another. That's why we have cops to begin with. Cops, being the civil servants that they are, MUST be held to a higher standard than the public at large and unfortunately they are not, from neither an intellectual nor ethical level.
They're just uneducated, sometimes racist goons with guns and badges these days. The really, truly good cops can't come forward or they'd be ostracized. That is what needs to change first. The 2nd thing to accomplish would be doubling the sentence or fines for when cops break the laws they were hired to uphold. Kinda like they double ding us from speeding in a construction zone. They should know better, are paid to know better and need to suffer more severe consequences as a result.
As far as I'm concerned, all 4 of those Minny cops should get the death penalty. But...they won't. They'll get rehired into another department somewhere, get their back pay and it'll be like this never even occured. Just like it always does. It's not going to change for the people until a government entity actually hangs a cop in the town square. Sad.
