    This is what police did to a Black man at a traffic stop. Compare this against their unending patience with white supremacists.https://twitter.com/kashmirviii/status/896492756608143365 …

        This brutality has got to stop, not tomorrow but last year! How much evidence is required to prove the status quo isn't effective?

        They were told from such young age that POC were subhuman & possessed no human values. So they learned to treat them all as chattels.

        They had the ability to start using their cognitive ability by the time they reached adulthood. That distresses me horribly.

        Agreed. But they're like religious fanatics, their belief is the only way in & out. How can they treat another human being like that?

        To all IDIOTS saying don't resist: cops are trained to take down people who resist arrest. This is NOT that training. It's EXCESSIVE FORCE.

        This wouldn't happen if he'd just put his hands behind his back either. Even if the cops are wrong, just cooperate.
