It’s been published. Why haven’t you kept up? When you get all your news from a Fox News, you aren’t informed.Silly. You are blinded by partisanship.Well that does it. You and yours haven't been brutalized, so it must not happen.If you aren’t aware of the fact that cops often brutalize citizens of all races, you’re delusional. It’s a systemic problem that has existed for a long time.
We are living in a soft police state, but your kind are totally unaware.
Often brutalize citizens?
So what do you consider brutalizing them, asking them for their drivers license; asking them to put their hands behind their back?
I'm 60 years old and have never been brutalized by a police officer. Nor has any of my family or friends. Of course when me, my family or friends interact with police, we don't fight them. We just do everything they say. I was a truck driver, and we often get pulled over by the troopers for safety checks. We interact with them just about more than anybody, and no problems.
Do you live in a cave?
Where did I say it never happens? I said it doesn't happen "often" as you put it. Because if it happened often, it's likely it would have happened to me or somebody I'm associated with.
It's like my former coworker who is a retired Cleveland police officer told me: What do they want us to do? If somebody is fighting us, we tell them okay, you can go, we will just arrest you at a more convenient time for you?
It's pure stupidity already, because there is a solution to this problem. All these Hollywood big mouths who live with armed security, all these jocks shooting off their mouth against the police could actually donate their time to something that will help solve the problem. And that is attend these black high schools, and promote the message to just obey all orders by the police no matter what. Because every death at the hands of a police officer has one thing in common: the suspect refused to obey police commands. And every one of them would be alive today had they just done that.
Of course we will never see that, because the liberal solution to this is to keep burning down towns and not accomplish a thing.
Your claim that it hasn’t happened to you or yours, was a stupid effort at deflection. Do better next time.
What’s often to me clearly isn’t often to you. Millions of Americans like me, want change. Are we all dumb liberals?
I keep asking, what exact change are you looking for? When a cop is being shot at, he can't shoot back? If a suspect is fighting with the officer, they just let the suspect go? Disarm all police officers and don't allow them to use tasers either? What????
I'm not blinded by partisanship, I'm blinded by common sense, a quality very low or void in liberals. There is no deflection on my part. If you say cops give out traffic tickets all the time, I would agree with you because I've had traffic tickets before, and so have many people I know. But when you say that cops "brutalize" people all the time, and it's never happened to me or anybody I'm associated with, then I'm calling you a liar. Police officers do not brutalize people all time.
from Justin Amash and some Ds are proposing something similar.
End qualified immunity.
End civil asset forfeiture.
End the drug war.
End overcriminalization.
End no-knock warrants.
End militarization of police.
End mandatory minimums.
