When a 75 year old man is trying to return a police helmet to them, and they push him down causing him to bleed from his head and ears, and they fire two officers who did it, and the rest resign from the riot group in purpose in support of the two who pushed him, what else could you possibly expect?

It's further been reported that the officers that resigned did so not in solidarity but because the union refuses to legally back them [1]. With the caveat:

> “Some of them probably resigned because they support the officer,” said another officer with whom we spoke. “But, for many of us, that’s not true.”

There is a lot of support for the officers to be clear though https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1269322620316442625
