It is my opinion that this is common practise and until we get rid of it from the top down it will never be any better

So if he was been charged, why has he not been named?
And these are the people put in charge of keeping law and order in society? to keep the peace and arrest criminals and law breakers? these people are sick. kids in uniforms with mentalities of 16 yr olds ( no offence kids)
