When the police are chanting "Yes we can" and getting away with it.

The way an acquittal works is a judge or jury in a courtroom makes a decision. I can't answer for flawed court decisions, but when they do happen it's not "The Democrats" or "The Libs" making those rulings.
No Democrats in Washington State or Aurora, Colorado?
I think you probably know I'm not saying judges aren't democrats or liberals, I'm saying the actions of individual judges aren't the actions of "The Democrats" or "The Libs" or any other group they belong to,they're individual decisions. Meme creators just like to oversimplify the world.
When they are endorsed by the party?
No shortage of cop-fetishizers at the DLC. Hell, Eric Adams was floated as presidential material this time a year ago.
Politicians, too, sadly. The party is run by people trapped in the 1990s, when running to the right of the Bush family was how they won elections.
