It's the JOB of police officers to apprehend criminals and assholes in the course of upholding and enforcing the law.
If nobody broke the law, there would be no need for police officers. Many cops covet the job and take great pride in it. They get paid for it. They signed up for it.
It doesn't make any difference to me whether the suspect is a decent person or a criminal asshole. When a cop believes he/she is above the law and violently assaults the subdued suspect, the cop is in fact a criminal asshole.
People who condone unnecessary use of force and illegal police brutality have no respect for the law, the Constitution, or good cops, IMO.
