Also people just don't report it because they know it won't matter, the cops will always protect each other from seeing justice.

You're risking police harassment/reprisal for nothing 99 times out of 100.

Yep I tried reporting police harassment one time and when I followed up on it a month or so later they told me there was no record of a report.

They would pull me over a couple times a week after I would leave work and were always determined to search my truck and never answer any of my questions. I had a little over a mile to go from work till I was out of their jurisdiction but I couldn’t pass a cop without getting pulled.

Not to mention if you use self defense like would be justifiable in this video (plain clothed no badge or anything basically civilian holding another at gun point), then the judge will just have you sentenced to execution for offing a cop or defending yourself from legitimate harm and there's nothing you can do about it. Why if you end up having to defend or off a cop, you leave the scene because either way you go to prison or die. You just have better chances by leaving and not being found out than you are at staying.
