White cops get away with assaulting POC all the time. They fucking shoot people and get away with it. The victim, in this case, is white and at least the NH cop has been fired. Would the same have happened if the victim was black? Current conditions say probably not. I think you perhaps missed my point. All the shitty cops should be punished.
