1. and yet video after video shows them banging on a door at 1AM.......................continuously.
2. A 'chance'..................and, NO, cops don't often lose their jobs. IF they are reprimanded at all, it usually follows a promotion of some sort. Lawsuit settlements or awards are not paid for by the cops, or the cop unions, but insurance companies that the municipality, i.e. the taxpayers, pay for.
Do you realize that the courts, i.e. the federal government, has it set up so that even if the government violates your rights, in any way, you are REQUIRED to meekly and quietly/calmly submit to all those rights violations. Even the slightest resistance results in the resisting or obstructing offense that eliminates any chance you might have of suing...................and I remind you again that the chances of a successful suit are minimal. Settlements often solve nothing because 99% of the time, the government admits no wrongdoing and gives you money to make it go away that hardly compensates you for the violations you suffered.
