Just saying, I mean look at the tower in London and the people under investigation for fraud.
The majority of the problem is the absolute, undeniable reality that for 50 years police officers have been putting millions of minorities in prison for cannabis ALONE. Police have put 15 million blacks in prison since the early 70's, on the pretense that cannabis usage was causing crime rates to rise. It's weird, isn't it? Crime rates plummeted in 1990, and even though half of California is baked out of it's mind, crime hasn't skyrocketed. Isn't it weird that the Nixon Administration appears to have lied to everyone about drugs?

How many thousands of times have you heard on the news that the cops shot some teenager, 'but it's okay because they found cannabis in his system?'

Wow, JUST like I said. Police assassinating Americans has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not they are committing crimes, and much more to do with whether or not they're politely and passively responding to armed government agents waving guns at them.

That means you're far more likely to be shot if you're deaf, unconscious, drunk, wearing headphones, sleeping, on drugs, or having any kind of medical emergency, if you flee from cops for the absolute MOST BANAL reason and if you're a minority. And I can link you to a video of every single one of those fucking things happening, except someone unconscious, and in every instance, the cops lie about what happened, or use language that completely absolves them of any actual connection to what had happened.

Isn't it weird that most police shootings look like robberies gone wrong? I am not, by far, one of the people that says that ACAB, but these mildew-minded folks that think that cops are ALWAYS right are part of what's going to screw everyone.

Americans don't understand that the entire concept of police is that they can normally perform what's consider a serious crime, and they need proof that they performed those actions because the person they were performing them against was committing a crime, otherwise, cops are just criminals. But if they no longer need to provide proof because people think there's way more crime than there really is, that just means there's about 1,000,000 government funded potential: kidnappers, extortionists, ransom artists, thieves, larsonists, rapists, and murderers running around, and if you resist anything short of murder because you are 100% aware you haven't committed a crime, you will be murdered.

That concept is completely lost to the delusional fucks that parrot bullshit crime stats, because most cops aren't minorities, meaning most crimes committed by non-minorities in uniform actually never get reported. For decades Americans have allowed cops to commit crime against poor people on the pretense they were keeping Americans safe from a crime epidemic that was actually never taking place. These people totally fucked America, even making these Nazi retards running around with Hitler Youth haircuts look like they halfway know what the fuck they're talking about.

It would be great if the government spent that money training their cops not to pull shit like this. I'd rather my taxes went toward that than the countless settlements for police abuse and whatnot.

True. She's putting the money to a good cause though.

How about those cops physically abusing the Puerto Rican kid with Down's, whilst taunting the family calling them wetbacks and such.

Family got paid off, formal apology by the precinct. No cops were suspended.

Moral of the story: nothing will change.
