another thing to consider - it's not measurable, but think about the impact this is having on perception of police nationwide.
how many people in colleges, at the rallies, just sitting home looking at pics, want to spit, and hate the guts of those cops?
You think anyone in that crowd will ever stop to help a rookie cop getting beat down on the side of the road by 2 ex-cons who got the jump on him? Shit no.
