    I was beaten bloody by police officers. But I never hated them. I said, 'Thank you for your service.'

        Someone needs to beat the hell out of you again for lying. You're a joke, & not a very funny one. Stop trying to disarm U.S.!!

        @dirtyprettyart @repjohnlewis Not all officers are good, but judging all based on the actions of a few is stereotyping.

        Your Twitter is a sweeping opinion. If you want to hide behind the qualifier "all", it's ok.
