    It’s shameful that it’s so outside of the norm for them to be prosecuted for this, but I’m glad to see it happen. Police rioting is not the same as there being riots. There were multiple instances, proven instances, where the police were the ones to instigate so-called riots during the George Floyd protests. They should all be in prison.
