    So many cops are out of control. Mayors and governors need to start ordering de-escalation.https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1266908354821206016 …

        what is the overall strategy here? cops are trying to break the movement? they are wild and out of control? all of the above?

        Cops are out of control? Assuming you own a television. Historically, these things tend to end in one way. Hint, the cops win.

        They can order whatever they want. Based on the multiple reporters on tv are saying, the cops don’t care. Two separate NBC reporters I hear say they were telling cops they were press & both times cops said “we don’t care” - orders are useless when you arm horny cops

        America has been encouraging this for years, though. We like the military, the police, and our guns. We glorify violence, particularly violence against those asking for change. It's a way of preserving the conservative white hegemony in America.

        Only way to stop the cops from escalating is to disarm them and lock them up.

        The cop who shoved him, would have left him but his comrades came over to help the man up, so then he waddles over to help the man up. No cop cared if the man was really injured, just wanted to get him on his feet to pretend he wasn't.
