With the incoming administration and his overt authoritarian inclinations, it will embolden police departments to do this sort of thing and more.

Trumpy has voiced his desire to see cops be more violent with the public on more than one occasion. He expressed the desire to make it impossible for a cop to lose his qualified immunity, the loss of which is something that helps win civil cases where suits are brought against officers for assault, brutality and incidents of constitutional rights violations.


Once again, it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
