    Worth repeating that all of the police violence you see happening right now has been happening for a long time before there were any camera phones to record it. It’s a daily phenomenon in communities across the country. It’s structurally embedded into how these forces operate.

        I think the fact that we are seeing many members of law enforcement handle the protesters with violence while knowing all the news cameras roll and smart phones record, without fear of repercussions is the clearest confirmation of this.

        Police are just government sanctioned killers in most cases

        And as a privileged white person living in Europe, I find it a miracle that the place didn't start burning long long time ago...
