We're the Only Ones Intimidating Enough

A veteran Baltimore Police sergeant criminally charged with forcibly arresting a bystander without justification in May has now been indicted on 32 additional counts of false imprisonment, assault and misconduct in office based on a “pattern and practice of harassment and intimidation”... [More]

He's a veteran and sergeant with 24 years on the force, he's comfortable presuming to be able to get away with this with impunity and we're supposed to buy that he "ignored his training as a police officer"?

In Baltimore?

Why would it be unreasonable to assume any contact with an "Only One" there to be a life-threatening encounter with an armed thug, and to react accordingly?

UPDATE: I guess he's not a threat to the community like you or I would be if we did that to people.
