@Stark.......

After Indian girl died in car accident by Police in US. I am here. There mentality shown in body cam 😠😠

@LL.Johnson

The problem is that there is rarely any personal accountability for one's own actions in regards to the police. Police unions are there to protect them, and the taxpayers/city are on the hook for any financial penalties. Even if they are forced to resign or quit, they will just move to another city to get a police job there. The entire system is corrupt. Fun fact: The only time I've ever had a gun pointed at my head was a corrupt sheriff in a small logging town.

@MahkyVmedia1

That one will definitely have the comments turned off

@StarrTile

This kind of documentary could easily run into 20 or 30 hours, there's enough bad apples in PD's across the US

@DY2784

When it comes to police abuse, we need to look no further than those law enforcement and military persons (current and former), who attended and actively participated in the J-6 riot and insurrection. The connection will be made clear below. I was shocked to find SO MANY participants were both current and former law enforcement/military; I was truly astonished because it was so antithetical to their collective missions… and training! After much analysis, two predominant reasons surfaced to explain this antithetical observation of these groups’ participation. First and foremost, these two law enforcement entities have been propagandized by the far right for decades, by the likes of Fox News, Newsmax, and Rush Limbaugh, both in police stations and military bases at home and abroad for decades! This is a case of garbage in garbage out. Hence, it was no wonder why and how these otherwise, patriots could turn against the very nation and constitution they swore to protect and defend. Therefore, decades of far-right indoctrination and straight-up brainwashing explains half of the J-6 insurrectionists, but what of the other half, who do they represent and what were they defending and fighting for? The remaining participants comprise the sycophants within the Trump and Trumpism camps, principally, your hardcore MAGA bigots, racists, and xenophobes… the Jews, Blacks, and people of color won’t replace us, folks. These are the two primary groups that comprised the J-6 insurrection. Now, through extrapolation and because they were embedded in the J-6 groupings, we can easily discern that the above kind of people who attended and participated in the J-6 insurrection would also be found in the current population of law enforcement ranks; exercising via their guns and batons and MACE, their hatred, bigotry and racist and xenophobia views and feelings upon the public they allegedly serve and protect. Hence, their personal views toward the people they are hired to defend, protect, and serve are actually expressed in the form of police beatings and shootings. These types of people have been allowed to infiltrate law enforcement circles and departments for decades, knowingly and unknowingly by law enforcement leadership… especially in poor and underserved neighborhoods around the nation. This essentially explains, in a nutshell, how and why there is so much conflict, mistrust, and confrontation between the officers assigned to a community and the citizens they are supposed to serve, defend, and protect. As you recall, about two years ago, when Fox News completely went off the rails, the nation had learned that Fox News had been propagandizing our service personnel for decades, and a movement was afoot to get them banned from all military posts; currently, I have no idea if that was accomplished, however, one thing is for sure, the Trump Republicans would never hear of it or approve such a ban! ☹
