thing is, we are hearing NOW more about perceived police brutality. it's always existed and we've even had jokes about it.
but this is being pushed as a narrative and talking point more and more. why? we know this has been going on. we know there are "bad eggs" in every walk of life and every profession. that fact that police forces are government agencies shows that even those, who, as DBS puts it "swear an oath before God and man", are corruptible is not a point that is considered. We citizens come into contact with this face of the government more than any other. Yet we are to ignore that this cannot happen higher up the chain of government ineffectiveness?
and we have bomma second-guessing some police actions before the blood is even sprayed off the sidewalk.
which leads to the public, already distrustful of the police forces, being even more cautious and leery.
we seem to forget that the vast majority of cops are normal people who just want to do their job and go home to their family at the end of the day.
some people say we need more training for cops, yet are also the first to cry when looking at budgets for police, and on up the chain to military.
as well, training is not going to weed out the bad cops, IMO.
Is Kaepernick whining about this? the cop in question did more than he should have to keep from shooting this ******.
