Acab

Edit: to everyone downvoting me- get fucking real. The entire system of policing as we know it in the country was built on racism and if you knowingly sign up to participate in it and stand behind the blue wall of silence you’re complicit in the problem so yeah, ACAB.

There’s definitely some validity to what you’re saying, but all the cops that beat this dude were also black. So there’s that.

Cops over race. They stand together regardless of their race. Scumbags

I'm not going to be able to watch the video. It sounds nightmarish.

Once I saw that they fired AND charged all the cops involved, I knew I wouldn’t be watching that footage. It must be horrific.

I think education, hiring standards, and retraining should be revamped in every state.

It's terrible but I notice the lack of outrage in the media and on social media and other groups that came along with other police killings. I don't know if it's because it's not the usual race of the cops that kill or not but I didn't notice the same constant broadcast that I saw in other incidents over the years

It’s because they were immediately charged with murder.

Probably because there's absolutely no way to justify what they did based on the video that I guess will be public later today. Because if there was the police department and their union would be the first one to make attempts

I have too many thoughts, but the ones that come to mind include: complete retraining and reevaluating current policies that are in place; we need to have better community outreach programs that can handle non-violent incidents; and the most important thing is holding cops accountable. 

We really need to have a separate institution that holds police accountable for this shit. The biggest reason why this continues is because cops are not scared of repercussions. They have internal teams that investigate them but the public isnt privy to that information and bias/connections limit what punishmentis appropriate..

I have not seen news agencies try to pre-incite violence this much since CNN spent a full week trying to bait a shooter for the Joker movie.

I can't watch the video or read the details. But what the hell happened?? How could they do this to him?
