"More coverups" does not equal "police state." They can't cover up more than they're already trying to cover up because, again, they try to cover it up every single time.

There are different levels of trying. Any criminal tries to cover up their crimes, some go to more extreme measures than others. For example, when you raise the penalty for rape to the death penalty, more rapes turn into murders. Im not saying that you shouldnt punish police violence harder, I just think that there is always more cover up possible. The fact that people are even allowed to talk about this, shows that more Cover up is possible.

If that's what you're saying, then trying to suggest that fining the police union will turn America into Iran is not the way to do it.

And i did not do that. I was replying to your claim, that "more cover up cant be possible"

Try sueing the police in coutries that incentivize coverups more, like Iran. You’ll just disappear.

Your words.

Iran incentivized coverups in a very different way. I see that that didnt come across. Once again: if you think, it cant get worse in the coverup department than america, you are wrong.
