    This planet really needs an alien invasion to set it straight.

    It’s disgusting that this happens again and again and nothing changes because white people need to feel superior and safe (just the illusion is enough).

      Ironically, they don’t see themselves becoming the demons they thought they were sheltered themselves away from. Their logic is, “As long as it doesn’t affect me, the world can burn!”

    I’m really curious about the training these cops receive:

    Step 1: Give order
    Step 2: If order is ignored, then escalate with violence
    Step 3: Repeat Step 1

      Supposedly they learn a Use of Force continuum.

      Except as we’ve seen there’s no consequence for them skipping straight to the top so they do just do that. As one would expect from America’s C students.

      My cousin went through an academy (ended up wisely choosing to work for Best Buy when he graduated instead) and he says while the rules are there and de escalation and community outreach are touted as important, it’s all noise once they’re done for the day.
      Posters hanging in their cafeteria and briefing room showing cops being friendly with people of color and rulebooks espousing the important of maintaining a friendly and trusting relationship with your community look good to any outsiders walking through.
      He said as soon as they graduated their training officers got friendlier and by that I mean they didn’t hide how terrible they were.
      He said fuck it and now sets up Best Buy stores all over the country. Came out with a fun conversation piece though, recordings of his entire class when they were getting tased and mased. If you ever have a choice, take the fucking taser for sure.

    I’m trying to understand the ...purpose of the interaction. Was he trying to remove the person, or arrest him for trespassing or loitering? I get that we see the “middle” of the event in the video but he made no attempt to handcuff the person or anything suspiciously like enforcement of the law. After all of these videos, I always wonder how these folks keep their jobs. This officer is Black so there may be a chance that he will suffer some consequence but if he were white....
