LMPD officer exonerated for repeatedly punching protester during arrest at Jefferson Square Park

Exactly. Not violating the law in the first place, or just not being a criminal scumbag in general is always a good start. And if you are encountered by a lawfully appointed authority figure who is giving you lawful instructions, just comply. It's so simple. Nothing becomes escalated, no use of force becomes necessary, and nobody gets injured. So easy!

Authority figures that are SUPPOSED to be governed by laws, as people have rights provided by the constitution. You idiots seem to think that you're above all that tho.
