We can't really expect professionals to act any better than Cartman.
He really is the ideal of the American police officer.

Home surveillance camera shows officer lied on report when charging man with major crimes
Worley, named “Officer of the Year” in 2019 and past president of the Lake Wales Police Officers Association, has been the subject of four citizen complaints and two internal investigations, including two allegations saying he used racial slurs.
I see that the cops are getting more remote control equipment

Body camera footage shows a Duluth police officer reacting to someone slamming an apartment door by shooting a man inside the apartment through the closed front door. The police did not announce their presence in the building before shooting. Once they've done that, the two policemen run away.
They have no business being employed as police officers.
No, just no.....The idea that it is OK to attack police without repercussions has led to most of the main high profile lethal police encounters, and the view that people may attacks them has led to a much higher level of police force, and the increased use of police force has increased the idea from some people that they are justified in attacking the police.....
White people in America can never truly appreciate the sheer frustration of constant racial profiling. They could never understand the degree of resentment and rage that accumulates inside Black people who can’t even go about the most regular-degular-ass business without looking suspicious to someone or being perceived as more aggressive and threatening than they actually are just because they dare express their aggravation out loud.
A Black man in Tacoma, Wa., said he was simply doing his job as a newspaper delivery driver when a man he later learned was a Pierce County sheriff started following him while he was on his route. He said he eventually stopped and confronted the man who was in an unmarked vehicle to ask why he was being followed and before he knew it, he was surrounded by police officers after the sheriff claimed and then later recanted his claim that the Black man had “threatened to kill” him....
Altheimer placed a newspaper in a plastic cylinder at a home, he said, then he walked over to the SUV to ask why he was being followed. He said he thought Troyer looked familiar but didn’t recognize him as the county’s top law-enforcement officer.
“So I asked him, ‘Who are you?’” Altheimer said. He said Troyer didn’t identify himself, but asked what he was doing in the neighborhood and “called me all types of names,” accusing him of being “a porch pirate,” slang for someone who steals packages from porches.
Elijah McClain was killed by Boulder police.
He wore mask due to health worries.
Someone called 911 on him and the police held him down, beat him, and injected him with ketamine.
He went into cardiac arrest and died.
His last word to the police were
“I’m an introvert. I’m just different that’s all. I’m so sorry. I don’t have a gun. I don’t do that stuff. All I was trying to do was become better. I’ll do it.
You all are phenomenal. You are beautiful. And I love you. Try to forgive me. I’m sorry.”
Ah, but there was a key difference![]()

August 2019.When did this happen? There's nothing unusual about wearing a mask these days.
Also, didn't Hal Bidlack live in Boulder? I hope he's OK.

This Tacoma sheriff followed a newspaper delivery man then called it in and said the man threatened him, then took that back.
Tacoma Sheriff Claims Black Newspaper Carrier 'Threatened to Kill' Him, Recants Claim After More Than 40 Cops Rush to the Scene
It's reminiscent of the Ahmaud Arbery case. And 40 cops? Oh my word!
A Lake Wales man, who could have been sent to prison for years based on the claims in a police report, was saved by a home surveillance camera. It showed he didn’t attack an officer, as claimed in the report.
Seems to be an odd coincidence, the more cameras that are out there, the more times people are catching these "bad apples".
