34. Cops just do this
Sorry but it is a fact of life. They are natural bullies. It is that simple. Unless they are supervised continuously this will always happen.

I've been attacked physically by cops. While protesting the first Gulf war nonviolently, cops attacked me from behind and beat me. They knew they would get away with it. They didn't arrest me. They just beat me.
