This shit takes time. You realize that, right? Even if they are caught murdering children in a video they themselves delivered to their superiors, they are still afforded all the rights of any other accused citizen.
If the average citizen is caught on tape, seen by a crowd of people, beating the shit out of random people with no provocation, he goes straight to jail, not "administrative leave", and there sure as hell isn't an apologia from his employer to the effect that "well, it was justified, whatever, we'll look into it".
If the roles were reversed the cop would have shot the guy on the spot.

This is exactly why you are a Nazi.
The Nazi mentality is predicated on the belief that laying down and accepting tyranny is good and to defend one's freedoms is bad.
That's why the Nazis would hold mass rallies and wear the uniforms and drape huge banners everywhere. To appeal to people like you who think that "not making waves" is the way to go.
The goal is to take the outrageous and make it seem reasonable by convincing everyone to just "go about their business" and accept the evil status quo. As with the cops, the underlying, omnipresent theme is self-delegated authority.
The necessity of defending one's freedoms is a civic obligation. If you fail to do so, you are serving evil. Slavery is predicated on the obedience of the enslaved.

I don't want to get an arrest history. I want to do things that would be seriously compromised by having such a history. I don't make the big sacrifices, but I don't disparage those who do, and in my own circle of affairs I do what I can to stand up to tyranny.
