Anytime I see that someone was charged with assaulting an officer or resisting arrest, I take it to mean the cop assaulted that person

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is one of the largest and least accountable militant organizations in America. Their annual budget is over $4 Billion, which is more than the total military budget of Kazakstan.

ACAB.
I just hope this couple makes it through, and gets some justice.

And this is in goddam Los Angeles where the competition for being the goose-steppingest thugs is LAPD, and Torrance PD among others. Standing out in that company is no easy task.

I sometimes daydream about that happening in a lot of places, but the logistics of it get pretty scary.

Cases like the one below where cops quit, or experiments towns are trying in going cop-free for a period of time, give me hope that restructuring is not as scary as GOP fear mongers want the public to believe:
