1. Police are civilians. They usually don't like to be reminded of that, but they are still very much civilians.
2. If an active duty military officer did some crazy shit like this, I feel like there would be some pretty severe punishment. Probably not a discharge though. I could see them being sent for a psych evaluation.

Let me introduce you to a little concept called "qualified immunity".

The tl;dr is that a cop can't get in trouble for something a cop hasn't gotten in trouble for before, unless it violates "clearly established law". Needless to say, that leaves a lot of wiggle room for the pigs.

Oh I'm aware of qualified immunity, I was curious as to DP's stance - he described what happened but (AFAIK) hasn't said whether he thinks the city should file charges.
