Cop Camera Theater

The unctuous behaviors of abusive police officers who are aware they're being recorded, in an effort to deliberately create the illusion of justification for their otherwise unjustifiable actions.
Knowing they were within range of the cruisers dash cam, the police officers engaged in a little cop camera theater when they repeatedly shouted "STOP RESISTING!" as they beat the man who was obviously not resisting,

ex cop

What a cop would be if he got as authoritative and hostile with a female as he routinely does with males. Males are conditioned to accept authoritative behavior and hostility from both sexes from about the time they are born, while females are taught that they are human and don't have to put up with anyone's shit (but that it's okay if other people put up with theirs).
A cop wouldn't have to kill a female to become an ex cop or go to prison over an interaction with a female civilian, all he would have to do is get as authoritative and hostile with her as he did with male civilians on a regular basis. Female lives must be worth a lot more than male lives, male lives must be junk and female lives must be critical.

Cop Complex

When a cop believes that laws don't apply to them and only the Rights that they approve of actively apply to the citizen they are encountering at the moment. They believe that qualified immunity gives them the Right to suspend a citizen's Rights during an encounter - this simply is not true and often results in horrific new headlines.

God Complex adjacent.
Citizen is LEGALLY open carrying on PUBLIC land, say a county office building parking lot, and filming in public spaces. Cop approaches citizen to question the activities because they got a call from a county employee inside. Citizen cordially refuses to answer the cop's questions, states that he is acting within the bounds of the law and Rights. Cops continue to try to escalate the situation and display very poor attitudes when they figure out this is just a citizen acting legally and there's nothing they can do to the citizen. This is how cop complex works.

As soon as they discern that the citizen is acting within the bounds of the law they should immediately bid that citizen farewell and depart cordially.

The display of attitude is often misconstrued or chalked up to racism, however, the interaction plays out the same almost every time, across the board, regardless of the citizen's racial composition. This is not a brown, white, or black issue - this is a blue issue.

Note to the reader: If you're a cop reading this, I implore you to turn every citizen interaction into an opportunity to 'protect & server' and deescalate rather than embrace this 'Us vs. Them' attitude that seems so prevalent behind the blue line.
