In other words, she was doing the kind of thing they do to random people all day long. Knowing how cops feel, it was probably an ordinary traffic jam.

    “Chicago police officers who arrived were greeted with shouts from protesters complaining that the police were not protecting them.”

    Lol, most US cops pick that job because they like hurting people and now they’ll get away with almost anything.

      That’s a bit of a stretch. The take the job because of the power. It makes them feel better than everyone else. The desire to specifically hurt comes later. And I am sure our education system shares some blame. The ones I remember who became cops were always looked down on. Some are just born to want power over others. The rest are made by our system. Not sure what the split would be though.
