for no reason.

Do we need to contact the UN or some other international group to come in and take these bullies off the streets?

All U.S. cities should put their cops to work running their garbage trucks and put the garbage men in uniform to protect citizens. The U.S. would be a far safer place.

Anyone remember what was done in most police departments post-911? Thanks in part to W, most cities sent their cops to special schools to train in anti-terrorism tactics and outfitted them with some of the gear we see in these videos. If I recall correctly, those schools were ran mostly by hard right-wing operatives that probably brainwashed our police to react this way.

And, much of this behavior is sanctioned by local Republican-controlled city councils.

Without major changes, we're screwed......
