Yes, because most police officers go around using excessive force and beating the crap out of people.
Also, Cops are nearly all being recorded these days.

Oh. Hot damn. Thanks!I also noticed that all of the police cruisers are nicely cleaned and fully detailed. Even the tires still have fresh Armour All on them. They know the cameras are rolling and want to look professional.
Wow, I don't know how you could be having a different experience than African-Americans in any situation, let alone when being pulled over and assessed as a threat. I'm gonna have to rethink pretty much everything here.I've been pulled over many, many times and it's weird, never got my ass beat...
There can be both systemic racism in the justice system and still no cop ever, ever deserving to get shot and those shootings still be a tremendous tragedy. All of those things can exist independently.6 racist cops shot tonight.
BristolCat seriously is the worst. His Twitter tears never get old, and it's pretty much all/air.
Cops aren't dragging polite, non-threatening people from cars and beating the shit out of them. Like any profession, you have terrible people and exceptional people with the majority falling somewhere in between.
If you're thinking this is an issue - cops beating/shooting people - you're just buying into the victim mentality of these entitled and mostly ignorant losers.
I've been pulled over many, many times and it's weird, never got my ass beat because I'm never an asshole to a f'ing low IQ dork with a gun. Weird how that works out for anyone else showing respect 99% of the time.
And, used to be very, very anti-police. Seeing how ridiculous it's getting with the anti-cop BS, f that. Shoot to f'ing kill.
Sure. That's why Asians, Indians, Mexicans, and whatever non-white or black demo protest non-stop these days.
Or, you're just believing what you want because more often than not, these stories arise from high crime areas where the majority of offending parties are...wait for it....BLACK.
I'm not naive enough to think there aren't isolated incidents where cops hide behind each other and justice is never served. But you're simply delusional if you think it's common when in fact, black people are killing each other at an extraordinarily higher rate than any cop is killing them.
When Bernie first met me offline, literally the first thing he said was something like "oh, shit man, you and I don't agree on a lot of things." I just said "Who cares, let's get a beer." '73 and I disagree on everything, but we've played ball and I know he's a good dude.Meh, Bristol is a good dude.
having said that -- one thing that you WILL SEE happening with law abiding citizens who don't give cops a hard time --- is a shifting line in the sand that seems to continually move towards less constitutional protections and more police power since 9/11
Me too, pretty warm out there.Just finished a #nicelilride
ok - that was well done
I can't NOT say,,,,,,,,,just one more W_%*(#_(%*TWUT THING
9/11 also resulted in a lot more military weapons, gear, training, and mindset getting into law enforcement. On some level this is an absolutely good thing.
Agree ' on some level' -- we should have a strong system of defense that's scalable to other needs and the historical changes that are happening around us
BUT we also simultaneously were supposed to accept the argument of increasingly OPEN BORDERS -- while we declared an open ended war on "Terror" (but not you, Saudi.....kiss kiss ....)
And when you look at the OUTCOMES of our efforts to 'export democracy" (whatever the hell THAT means)
THE OUTCOMES??
Destabilization of entire nations, the emergence of ISIS and an unfolding humanitarian clusterfck in Europe ...(where communicable diseases are increasing as much as 300% in some areas.....not to mention the always fashionable European trend of female genital mutilation)
over $8 BILLOIN spent in Afghanistan (THE Longest damn war in US history) which SO FAR as resulted in roughly 40% MORE GD HEROIN being pumped into our streets (couldn't even take the Taliban out) and GI's getting shot, maimed and mentally BROKEN for their time and effort......
all while slinging customized weapons to every SWINGING DICK IN THE MIDDLE EAST ..... (and basically LAUNDERING THEM through Qatar and into the hands of the Muslim Bro's and other swell goyim)
I was active duty at the 30th Space Wing when 9/11 happened and I KNOW at least one part of the 9/11 dialog is a LOAD OF HORSESHOE
as a parting gift we also received: TSA, HOMSEC, PAT ACT 1 & 2, MIL-COMMISSIONS ACT and a bigger / better MORE RABID NSA that - by some estimates - executes up to 300,000 hacks a DAY
So I don't think we came out ahead in all that and on the surface NONE OF THAT JIVE MAKES ANY F'ING SENSE!!!
UNLESS
someone's TRYING to sink the f'ing ship
