Pussies. New York you get a surprise. Either gunned down without a warning, or beaten to death with various homoerotic overtones. It's like a brutality grab bag up here.
cops there do seem to enjoy shoving objects up suspects' asses more than other places, I'll concede. I think the surprise comes with the choice of object.
It's a spinoff where Rainesha transfers to Philly to work a foot beat. Dangle and Jonesy visit her in the second episode, and the studio audience cheers when they get out of the car.
The ones that pepper spray protesters are actually hand selected from the rosters of the police ranks depending upon the quantitative amount of violent incidents they are involved in and placed on protest duty based on their proclivity and predisposition to resort to physical violence.
I'm not joking, but I am discussing large and planned protests, not spontaneous ones. For examples you can look at the Montreal mini-minsterial of the WTO a few years back, enough digging will get you the reports.
The selection process is often done by an outside organization and they are given on loan by the government or contracted out off duty, to suit the interests of private vested groups while wearing government armaments and being paid with your tax dollars.
