In a common occurrence in America, Miami cops tried to destroy evidence of another of their crimes by attacking a witness and destroying his recording device. U.S. media, outside the "alternative" press, (i.e. actual journalists, not corporate propagandists pretending to be reporters) have ignored it.

Hey, how about the Oakland cop who executed a man (a black man, of course!) who was lying face down on the ground, shooting him in the back of the head? In order to stop the ensuing rioting, the system was forced to actually prosecute the cop. He only was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and served a few months in prison. (His defense was, he thought his gun was taser! Go online and view pictures of a taser, if you don't know what they look like- they're shaped like a short tv remote. Absurd lie to say it felt like his gun.)
Quick Quiz: What would the charge be if you shot a cop in the back of the head? (Answer: Nothing, actually, because you'd be summarily executed.)
