A surely, sometimes cops do that, and if that can be proven, the consquences should be harsh. But it's assumed that's it's pleasure EVERY time, and that's just not even logical.
There's assumptions that the officer in this case was on a power trip, or racist, and basically doing this for fun. Without a pattern of conduct, maybe we should assume that he screwed up?

That's what I've been saying. The bad cops put the seed of doubt into the minds of people when good cops have accidents.
In Chicago, there is no doubt incidents that are complete accidents made by the police. But people are skeptical here because of the storied history of brutality, lies, and coverups.
