You know that that is not true. (And an officer in the DMV should be especially familiar with that - the brutality inflicted by cops in Prince George's County is common knowledge and has been covered extensively by the local press. MPD has a similar history.)
 
No one's generalizing. There are good cops and there are bad cops, just like there are good employees and bad employees in every profession. They aren't deities. They are people who choose to do an often-dangerous job and they are remunerated for it. Because their profession is dangerous and some of their colleagues are killed on the job does not mean that they do not make mistakes or should not be questioned; that isn't in any way germane to this incident.
 
Some of us who don't subscribe to the "police officers are always right" and the "police reports are Gospel" line of thinking would like to calm down and wait to hear how this plays out before jumping to any rash conclusions or stating exactly how severely these two students ought to be punished.
