The message that cops can hit non cops is the cause of all the cop hate in this country, which is the cause of the fear cops have when going into a situation, which leads to violence on both sides, but mostly violence from the cops. Dirty assholes.

The fact that you think that cops shouldn't be allowed to hit someone who is resisting arrest as well as assaulting an officer is fucking ridiculous.

It's not that cops shouldn't be allowed to hit someone when they need to, it's more that they should have the training and discretion to know how much force is needed for a given situation.
