    White power and toxic masculinity are the root causes of most cases of police brutality. This had NOTHING to do with Sandra’s failure to use a turn signal and everything to do with white power and toxic masculinity. It’s why white mass murderers get treated with more respect.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1125738872481165320 …

    Local authorities kept this cell phone video from Sandra Bland a secret for 4 years. Local journalists @WFAA fought to get it released. Sandra Bland knew her rights. She never should've been arrested and threatened in the first place. A gross abuse of power from this officer. pic.twitter.com/rtVTxQKDye

        She didn't violate a traffic law; she was stalked and forced to pull over; singled out for assault and abduction. Extortion racket?

        You have to wonder about the domestic violence rates among police officers like this. Are they bringing all of this rage home with them? Or do they purge their rage on the streets.

        Honestly, I wonder if they just roam the streets looking for any POC to cause injury to. I honestly do believe that's their sole purpose when they're out on the streets. Looking for POC to cause harm to

        Did the officer get fired? Did the individual get hired by another law enforcement agency?

        Prosecutor threw out perjury charge for him promising not to seek any job as police. Should be locked up.

        Why ‘Black Lives Matter’? This is why ‘Black Lives Matter’. Instead, it’s Blue Lives Matter, which is already the default.

        I was arrested once for something I was completely guilty of(bar fight) Ppl should know that even when you've done wrong it feels completely unnatural to be restrained especially under threat of violence. Can't imagine what goes through your mind when you've done nothing wrong.

        If toxic masculinity(?) is in play and not just racism, do you suspect that interaction would have been different if that was a bm?

        He rushed up behind her with the intent of puling her over. She moved lanes to get out of his way, which gave him the excuse he was looking for. Her "crime" was disrespecting him and not knowing her place. Anytime I switch lanes without signaling, I recognize my privilege.
