There are just as many pro-cop extremists who refuse to look at the evidence as there are anti-cop extremists.

Yes I am serious, in many cases the PO's are already tried in the public and it won't matter much afterwards when the Video is released that proves their innocence to the haters. The damage will have already been done to the PO and the community.

Now on the other side, when the evidence is damning to the cop, it has a higher chance of resulting in consequences for the PO.  Does it happen every time? No, and that's when an investigation is warranted.
