Sigh. Firstly I didn’t say it’s not the cops fault. Secondly, nowhere does it say they’re treated like rabid animals.
You're talking about needing to exhibit some specific set of behaviours while some heavily armed cunt lays hands on you or they'll beat you up.
No I’m not. There are actions you can make that will make police more likely to put hands on you in the first place, and then also to use excessive force. If you try to run for example, they’re going to use force. If you get aggressive and start shouting racism, they’re gonna use force.
Again - the article gives no specifics on anything, which is why I said it means nothing without more info.
Hey what if though, what if, bear with me here, what if the people trained and paid and heavily armed like didn't startle at loud noises and beat you up for calling them racist?
What if, bear with me here, we actually got some more information about these uses of force before we went and made conclusions about how it's all just racism?
