I hate to say this, but given the past, this is a good possibility. In Philadelphia, a police officer punched a woman in broad daylight, on a crowded street. There were scores of witnesses. All charges were dropped, and the judge ruled that "she fell into his fist." 1 month ago, NYPD officers killed a man using a chokehold which has been ruled illegal since the 1980's. Old Dominion police in June trespassed on a man's property, assaulted him, maced his entire family, all because he was standing on his porch recording them with a video camera. In Chicago, Skokie police refused to discipline an officer who was caught on film throwing a woman face first into a concrete holding cell bench, crushing the front of her skull. It wasn't until the DA stepped in that he saw charges. The police department refuses to admit wrongdoing.
