A lot of people here lecturing others about assumptions when they've been making their own assumptions throughout the thread, both about this individual officer, and officers generally.

I don't believe you are correct Molson. The assumptions aren't being made about individual officers. They're being made about the system that allows, sometimes encourages and protects police officers at the expense of the public at general and specifically poor and minority communities.
