2. they don't have the training (or care) that an experienced bouncer has.. i've seen people 'bounced"

so they aren't injured, don't fall drunkedly and hit their heads, they'll bounce women and watch that the woman doesn't trip in her heels. these cops leave a bloody trail in their wake for no reason

3. Ooooo...big man...pushing down elderly.

What a piece of shit you are, Torgalsky.

You need to be fired and charged with felony assault.

4. Outrageous!

The cops shove someone who appears to be an elderly man, to the ground and just march on, leaving him lying motionless, head in a pool of blood, on the ground where he landed. Belatedly someone says maybe they should call an ambulance. Duh. Ya think? Outrageous thuggish behavior. Today of all days, on the day of George Floyd's memorial service.

5. Scenes like this all across the country

There have been compilations of videos showing again and again the police mindset that they have the right - even duty- to shows who's boss, even if it means brutalizing black college students in Atlanta, trampling a protestor under a horse's hooves, or shoving an elderly man to the concrete and walking by. They show that "to protect and serve" has always been just bullshit, especially for POC.

6. So if you're not filming them 24/7

All their bad behavior is just... invisible.

I didn’t realize until yesterday that they are able to turn off their body cams. Sigh.

8. Yeah think of all the many, many times that weren't filmed

And how many have been injured, incarcerated or killed and just forgotten because they were "invisible". And that ability to turn off body cams should not be left up to the individual cop.
