Dude, what the hell is going on down there with them and their damned obsession with naughty bits? Motherfuckers need to find a partner to play out their S&M fantasies on so that they can stop doing it with random people. I mean, that's legitimately what it seems like; cops who get off on some pretty sadistic shit looking to play out their darkest desires on people they stop.
But more to the point, unfortunately the sad part is that when cops get sued it's ultimately just a person suing themselves and those around them, seeing as we freaking pay fucked up cops to mistreat us, and all but the most heinous offenses get nothing but a slap on the wrist for the infallible gods among men, police officers. I'm tellin' ya, our system of law enforcement in the U.S. is in a bad way, something is eventually going to have to give. Then again it's only been the rise of the internet that has really opened a lot of people's eyes to the extent of the abuses and corruption law enforcement officials get away with, for a long, long time people believed cops were pretty much always the good guys, it'll take a little while before things start to change. It's just a question of when.
Edit: oh, and in response to the quote in 23536's comment about drug users being one of the only groups left in society that it's acceptable to have biases against, I'd just like to point out that it's still considered pretty acceptable to hate pedophiles. And I don't even mean those who actually act on their feelings, I mean it's considered ok to just about downright hate someone simply for being attracted to children. Yet in the next breath someone who feels that way will admit that gay folks don't have any conscious choice over their sexual orientation and don't deserve to be looked down upon. Just figured I'd throw that down there if we're talking about people it's still considered ok to hate simply for who they are. It must be a sad life for people like that; I'd say pedophilia is certainly even less accepted than drug use, and I'm sure most of us obviously know how lonely and outcast that can make a person feel...
