@Adam_Cadmon1 It is very much normal in 2024. It’s how they’re trained and both major political parties approve of it and fall all over themselves cutting useful things from city, state, and federal budgets to fund more of it. This is what people choose to pay for when they vote for politicians whose platforms are all “tough on crime” and “support our police”. Our police are a brutal occupying force by design and intent who commit much more violence than they ever prevent.
