No charges were filed against the officers. The police are investigating themselves. I predict they'll find that they did nothing wrong.

Edit: There's bodycam footage. Don't watch it unless you're prepared to deal with extreme anger towards those disgusting pigs. I don't think I've ever felt this angry and enraged in my life.

That's just inhuman. Seriously are cops human? What kind of person can do something like this and then just go home like it's no big deal? Are they even aware this woman died? Do they care, feel remorse?

Did the Nazi concentration camp guards feel remorse? Some maybe a little. Most not at all. They were indoctrinated to obey orders unquestioningly and dehumanize their victims. Cops are no different.
