I will share why police should not beat or bully civilians: when a police manhandles a civilian, the civilian begins to breathe harder and deeper. When the abuse gets rougher, the civilian hyperventilates. When police call backup and 4-6+ officers team up against 1 person, the civilian begins yelling and screaming. Now, in all this excessive activity, the civilian may be covid-19 positive. Police may be wearing mask and gloves but the virus will attach itself to bare skin and your uniform or even enter the body through the police officer’s eyes. Once the officer(s) are carrying the virus, they will take it to their squad car; they will take it on all their calls; and ultimately, they will take it to their precinct.
