    Online reaction expresses cynicism over rare accountability

    Commenters on social media reacted to the firings with skepticism about police accountability generally, noting surprise that officers were actually punished.

    “Literally nobody is surprised that cops behaved badly and everyone is surprised that they actually got punished for it.”
    — CaptainCanusa

    • Is there a bigger indictment of our police forces than our reactions to stories like this? Literally nobody is surprised that cops behaved badly and everyone is surprised that they actually got punished for it.
