I know lots of libertarians who shoot straight on this issue.
Then why such a general statement. The people backing the cops are a list of maybe 8-10. Why call out a group of 20+ if you know the claim to be bullshite.
ETA: My reaction wasn't neccessary, but I seriously hate the brutality and overzealous cop cases.
Just this week: Eric Garner news, the Cleveland boy, the Denver cops attempting to destroy evidence. it's getting way out of hand, but somehow it's turned into a black/white and left/right issue. It's frustrating.

not thinking someone should be indicted =/= "backing".
In the Ferguson case, the case was, well, complete shite. If the GJ had indicted, it would've been entirely out of fear of what happened when he wasn't.
In the NYC case, you only needed 12 out of 25 on the GJ in order to indict and they couldn't get that. Unless we are to assume that a randomly selected jury generated 13 racists, my guess is that they think that case was one of shitty police work, not criminality.
I happen to think that the NYC guy should've been indicted but, I'm not immune to the argument as to why he wasn't. Also, I think he ABSOLUTELY should be permanently unemployed as a cop because if not a crime, his actions demonstrated incompetence.
Finally, just because I happen to think that police tactics have gone WAAAAAAAY overboard in general does not obligate me to think ALL instances of cops fricking up = criminal behavior.
