      FURIOUS! Neighbors called the police because this teenage boy had on loud music. He never touched or threatened this officer in ANY way. The officer, Gary Thomas, was fired from @ShreveportPD last year after he was arrested for felony domestic violence...but got his job back.pic.twitter.com/h2iyDX7eEc

      Violent Shreveport Louisiana Cop Threatens Kid Over Loud Music
      This cop, Gary Thomas, was previously fired from the force after being arrested and charged with felony domestic violence. They rehired him. Now we get a glimpse of who this man truly is.

          Been raising hell about this for yrs. From now on whenever you read about brutality settlement or a payout because a cop murdered a citizen, ask the reporter to identify the insurance company that paid the claim. I just asked this reporter to do so.http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/news/ct-sta-oak-lawn-settlement-st-0217-20170216-story.html …

          Just emailed him a few minutes ago. Activists should start making it SOP, demand to know which companies enable cops who kill & brutalize citizens. Hit Palm Beach, FL w/a couple hundred million in settlements with no liability insurance, the couldn’t fire these cops fast enough.

          I got an answer: "The insurance companies that paid out the settlement in this (Chicago PD) case were Argonaut Insurance Company and Trident Insurance Services, LLC".

          Wonder how many settlements this company has paid out for them.. We need to establish a Database on how many settlements these departments kick out to show a continuation of abusive force..

          Maybe @TomSteyer has a few extra dollars laying around. It's exactly the kind of Big Data analysis progressives should fund. Our country's entire approach to police violence, brutality & wrongful deaths might change if municipalities lost their liability coverage because of it.

          It hurts listening to the woman say “don’t shoot him”. Like, we know where these type of aggression end at.

          Anabolic Steroid abuse is rampant in police forces. There should be mandatory drug tests on LEO's *every time* they use force or taze or shoot at anybody!! There's a lot of dangerous dudes in uniforms with guns drunk on power over others hopped up on that sh!t.

          But yet you’ll use this as a label for all cops everywhere. Yes this individual should not be allowed to carry the badge but you will use this to paint all officers the same.

          We need skilled empathetic folks like you on the streets since the folks they have to rehire are the only ones answering the call and putting on the uniform. Pretty simple. If you aren’t going to do the job then get over yourself. Not condoning the officers behavior.
