They were police . . . committing brutal acts. Not trying to be rude, but what do you think police brutality is?

The easy way out in police brutality cases is to deflect blame to the individual, and to not address or acknowledge the systemic problems themselves.

I would say one of the more obvious of those systemic problems would be the lack of real accountability.
