I have family in law enforcement. I realize that not all, even the majority are not bad people. But there is a serious epidemic in this country right now regarding horrible police acts. You have guys that were power-hungry jocks and bullies in high school getting an associates degree in criminal justice and then you hand them a weapon and give them complete freedom to piss on the rights of free men and women when they perceive a threat.
I see this and, in many cases, I wonder, "what is the difference between this and the treatment we see individuals receiving from the SS or state police of Nazi Germany in archive footage?"...there isn't one. We are considered the 'world police' and are quick to jump into action to aid countries where human rights are being abused, but we ignore it when it's happening in our own backyard.
This is murder, plain and simple. You won't convince me otherwise.
