    What the pigs are hoping to accomplish here

    They're hoping to provoke someone into resisting, so they can do their usual stomp anyone in the vicinity routine. They're hoping someone will succumb to the perfectly natural instinct to protect their nest so they can go berserk and break out the tear gas and tasers. They're doing this because they enjoy hurting people - that's the sort of folks who become cops in the first place. These are the true colors of your heroes. Take a good long look and remember this next time someone tells you how you should be grateful to have the police "protecting" you.
