So I note that there's a lot of these that show up in the Five minutes of hate news thread, so I figured I'd make a thread that could focus on cops, specifically in regard to abuses of power.
Obviously, the situation in Uvalde is a big example, but there are other big and small examples nearly constantly. I figured I'd open with one to discuss: the Breonna Taylor killing just resulted in indictments. Obviously, these are only coming because it's politically expedient for the DOJ under Biden to be seen as doing something, but I think they (or at least some of them) have merit despite being politically motivated.

Is there enough to convict? I don't know. But enough to indict and do more searching? Certainly.
