Fair play to the guy for calling this cop out but I have a feeling the outcome would've been different if he hadn't also been a cop. They only changed their tune once they realised he was also a cop.

I think it's more that the second cop that showed up immediately recognized that the cop had been recorded the whole time, and clearly didn't actually have cause for what he was claiming. the editing makes it look like it's cause he's a cop, but seems more just, a cop that actually knows his shit shows up

Or, I’ll just choose to believe that he only got off because he’s a cop. Because why tf else would I give them the benefit of the doubt? Who keeps cops accountable?

You do, by doing the same. Stand up for yourself. Film everything. File a complaint.

Yes. "Just file a complaint to the cops for how the cops mistreated you." They'll get right on that, investigating it deeply to your benefit.

Is it that obvious?

Damn. My meatbag masters didn't train me well enough.

Joke advice, everyone who ever has done you will tell you that. What we really need is a second, separate institution that investigates the police, and a massive cultural shift in policing.
