1) I’m glad they have that ethical fortitude, after one of their CO’s was caught blatantly on camera reenacting a hate crime. If he hadn’t been filmed and identified I’m sure they would have helped him with all kinds of nasty shit. Maybe you think I’m being to hard on corrections officers? I don’t give a fuck what you…
Even if he did grab their taser so what? It is less than lethal force when they use it on us why if it is turned on them does it suddenly require lethal force?
And to all the fascists and/or bigots coming with the “What else could they have done???? He was drunk driving!!!!!”
Ahhh.. the joys of racist teachers... memories.. such sweet (like cyanide) memories.
“Can anyone produce me a video of a police officer telling someone to do something, they comply and then the officer just shoots them.”
3-They are stupid. Racism has the amazing power to make people lose critical thinking skills and basic logic. Not that many racists had those, but the longer one remains a racist, the more they become unwilling or unable to put it aside.

I can only think of two explanations as to why people post stuff like this...
Give the civilian complaint review board some teeth and make their recommendations binding.
8. Exponentially expand the size, staff and scope of family&child services, drug rehabilitation, mental consulting, etc. Every dollar cut from the police state should be diverted there. Fire 10 cops, hire 20 social workers, guidance counselors, etc.
I used to live in a small city in the south. The local police department didn’t like the fact that the first black woman EVER elected to the city council was trying to enact reforms on the PD, so they harassed her until she not only left the council, but she left the city. The final straw for her was when she was…
I’ve got a couple ideas on how to fix policing.
Yes to all of it.
It’s deeper than that. Corporate privatization of prisons should be outlawed. The entire prosecutorial system needs to be overhauled. Cash bails should be abolished. Laws need to be rewritten (especially the draconian crack v. powder law). The 13th Amendment needs amending.
Some departments need to be disbanded and reformed from the ground up. No amount of legislation or federal oversight will correct them. Once a cancer has spread to the entire body, the body must be allowed to die.
The former cop can’t be found in his home!
I think it’s because you haven’t seen the full video. I’ve seen tons of police brutality videos. Generally, they’re short and if they end in death it’s from a gun shot. This was different. It was long and slow and painful and my hands kept clenching into fists wanting to reach into the screen and stop it (never had a…
Isn’t Ruffles Blimpo supposed to be terminal? It really speaks to the guy’s love of being a race-baiting fuck-dump that he feels the need to continue his performance instead of, I dunno, enjoying his last moments or trying to repent to whatever god he holds. Oh wait, his god is Mammon, so this behavior checks out.
