A group of protesters that demonstrated at a rally in support of Palestinians over the weekend in Toronto say a man who was protesting was injured during his arrest โ€” which included an officer kneeling on his neck, something Toronto's former police chief said officers are not trained to do.

All cops are human, and humans tend to have terrible memories, lie regularly, are morons, and put self-interest over everything else.

The issue is that humans aren't held accountable for what they do and say in proportion to the amount of power they wield.

Most human beings understand that they can't go around indiscriminately killing people without consequences.

Cops have gotten away with it for so long that lying just comes naturally.
