      My Latest. Stop asking what happened in the moments before police are filmed brutally beating, choking, assaulting, discriminating against, and killing Black people. Nothing, nothing at all, warrants the police brutality we are witnessing in 2018.https://theintercept.com/2018/05/14/waffle-house-police-video-starbucks-arrest-black-men/ …

      1. I used to use police forces around the world as models for how American police could and should behave. That's no longer necessary. American police, with their ethical, humane, measured treatment of white mass murderers show us that they know how to make peaceful arrests.

      2. This question of, "what happened before that video began" is a nefarious one - deeply rooted in anti-Black racism. It suggests that when we see an officer choking the life out of a young Black man in a prom tux, that something COULD warrant such a chokehold. It can't.

      3. When we see police running and kicking the face of an unarmed handcuffed subdued suspect who is peacefully laying on the ground, I don't need to know what happened before a man's face was treated like a football to know that it was dead wrong.

          The solution is easy. Money. All we need is a wise judge who understands human rights and accepts deep-seated and institutionalised racism to award a black person, who has been brutalised, 5 million dollars and then we shall see how racists the cops feel. #YouHeardItHereFirst

          But currently that money comes from the TAXPAYERS. Police brutality settlements need to come out of COP salaries from COP pensions from COP unions.

          The question is always asked because most (white) people can’t bring themselves to believe that police do these things without provocation or justification. Since it doesn’t happen to them.

          I'm Black but many #MAGA have spoken up WHEN & IF an officer has seemed unfair and pushed for their firing with no pay. DNC policies say to continue pay.

          Yea, Donald Trump and the GOP are real friends of people of color. Look how many of them are in ICE detention.

          I need to know. Anything else is an uninformed guess. Guessing is not fact.
