Columbus, Ohio, thugs have been charged with crimes for spraying pepper spray on peaceful protesters who were violating no law or order, and for covering up lies.

A Louisville thug faces criminal charges for nonfatal brutality: hitting a suspect on the head with a stick while the latter was kneeling with his hands up.

No matter what that person was arrested for, or what he had actually done, nothing can justify hitting him under those circumstances.

Prosecuting thugs for unjustified violence even when it is nonfatal is crucial for teaching them to practice self-control as required for a police officer.
