They could try and probably have, but as Lawrence O'Donnell said, they won't face any real punishments. Police brutality is underreported by the news media and isn't part of the national conversation. It won't be unless something horrifically egregious happens, for the media to pick up on it.

Lol...Wow, pure ignorance. Apparently, these lovely officers of the law have never watched an All-Blacks match.

I can only speak for my department and it is a small one but if a complaint is made it is investigated and most of the time the officer is guilty untill they are proven innocent. as a supervisor I have to investigate and I look at all sides I have to if my officer is ut of bounds I sure as hell don't want them on my squad. granted we have not had a brutality complaint. but I can tell you I was investigated once on how I took a male down because he claimed to much force.. untill the chief saw the bruises on my thigh where he had grabbed me after resisting another officer.
