Wouldn’t get anywhere.
I’ve heard assorted US radio shows lately covering the issue. In the usual US-media false-balance way, they normally talk to one African-American community representative and one police person.
Every time, the police reps spout nothing but authoritarian/racist bullshit. They completely refuse to admit that there is any problem with police behaviour at all, no matter how blatant the evidence.
Full-throttle Fox News manufactured mirror-image “reality”. With the legal authority to use lethal force.

Worth the bump since the ACLU is getting involved.

If Internal Affairs can’t be bothered to investigate something this easy, this well documented, then how much trust would you have in IA to tackle something more serious, involving a wrongful death perhaps? It’s getting to the point where the only place a cops word has any credibility, is in front of a judge, and no place else!

Exactly, and yet people are surprised and outraged when a small number of the population decides to fight back with the exact same violent tactics that citizens face on a daily basis. When people truly believe that there is no legal recourse (because they see cops regularly literally getting away with murder, and not being prosecuted like a regular citizen), then eventually someone’s going to fight back.

The ‘in front of a judge’ case is why the word ‘testilying’ exists.

Well, my well-researched understanding is that in the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories. DUN DUN
