      That’s my question too. I wouldn’t say acab but way too many are and they get way too many preferential verdicts.

    The AP’s shitty coverage doesn’t even mention that the undercover cop who got severely beaten is black.

    Cops beat a black undercover cop at a protest, because he was (a) black and (b) at a protest. Of course, cops routinely beat protesters, especially black protesters, but everyone who’s beaten doesn’t get a fat payout like this. Only cops, and only if they sue.
