That's disappointing to hear. Something that's been made clear to me over the past month is that law enforcement actions without true consequences enables further transgressions against the public that they're meant to serve.
It's essentially the question of who polices the police, and their police unions across the country play a huge role in the fallout from cases where police have crossed the line. Administrative leave with pay and eventual reinstatement is not an acceptable form of accountability in the US.
Whether it's a judicial decision or legislative change I don't know, but I'm glad police brutality is getting the attention it deserves (for now).
