    Looks like a bad apple issue, one doesn’t deal with the tension well at all and then the rest has to deal with that fallout. I mean, just look at their reactions to their colleagues’ action; gawking in disbelief and late in response to the man’s retaliation.

    I get the US police problem, but that shit doesn’t do well for Dutch police officers.

      The complete phrase is “one bad apple spoils the bunch.” Just because the US police are particularly awful doesn’t mean other countries’ police don’t also have systemic issues or that they aren’t problematic institutions in general.

      Doesn’t it seem strange there are 5 cops at a hospital and one of those cops is a canine unit.

      Maybe there is more to the story
