Police are trained and outfitted as soldiers. That needs to end.

The murder by police in Minneapolis is opening a can of rage.
I saw that last night on the news absolutely abhorrent every one of those Police Officers should be on a murder charge.
When did the event actually occur?

Police in America are a giant fucking terrorist army.

The video was posted on Twitter and so wish I hadn't watched it, words can't describe the evil.

You can’t scale these things but what happened in Minneapolis is off the wall. He wasn’t resisting, he couldn’t resist, he said many times he couldn’t breath, he went on unconscious, members of the public pleaded for help for him pointing out he was dying but nothing.
A shooting can be a millisecond of madness caused by panic, fear, Adrenalin, hate, anger, jealousy but that was none of those things.
The cop was not in any danger but still did nothing.
The same cop cleared in a fatal shooting in 2006????

And the other 2 cops there equally culpable.

It's a job that tends to attract the worst kind of people for all the wrong reasons.

Not sure how that works in US.

Saw this today, just sickening. The coldness of the cop with his knee on the guy was frightening. Bastards should be locked up for years.

The asshole bully and idiot from high school that we knew from high school? Good chance they tried to become a cop to continue their training as a predator.

It varies. These are city cops, but you also have state cops and often sheriffs at a county level. Then you have federal cops. Yeah it's a fucking police state.

We have more cops than we need. There is a protest in Milwaukee tomorrow. I'm thinking about going. I sometimes think it's crazy that anyone would ever want to emigrate to the United States. We're a shit hole from top to bottom...
