Why do so many people always defend the police no matter what they do?
If the pope raped and sacrificed a dozen children in public and broadcast it on TV, you would still be able to find people who defend him. Likewise, whenever a police officer shoves a stick up some guys rear end before beating him to death, many people will jump in to defend the cop and his actions.
I can’t understand such blind devotion to something like that, what motivates these people to blindly defend?
