It's still correct the vast majority of the protests are peaceful.

And the vast majority of policemen are not beating people up.

The majority of policemen are either beating people up, standing around while others beat people up, or are actively aware of systemic injustices in their system and not fighting it tooth and nail. They're all part of a union. They should be voting for policies to operate among themselves with accountability, respectability, and and a sense of justice.

All 57 members of Buffalo's emergency response unit resigned in protest of disciplinary actions taken against the men who shoved a 75 year old man and then walked over his body while he bled from the ear. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/06/05/buffalo-off...

It's not at all obvious to me that the majority of policemen don't support the abuses, even if they aren't all getting their hands dirty.

I can't access the link because it's paywalled, but I assume you're talking about this clip: https://youtu.be/kGsqg5vtahA . EDIT: Found the free button :). Yeah, I guessed right.

I can't see how you can classify this as an abuse. Yeah, the cops should have apprehended him instead of pushing him after he started scanning their equipment, or whatever he was doing, but it's very clear from the clip the officers had no intention of harming the man. You even have some guys in green checking on him at the tail end of the video. The officer which pushes him also appears to try to help immediately after the incident - even if it's not exactly clear what he was trying to do -, before he is pushed back in formation.

Did any officer resign in solidarity with George Floyd's murderer? Or in some other incident which we can all agree is an abuse?
