And give them no choice but to stop the entitlement to do violence.

10. Police Shame Themselves, Sir --- All Everyone Does Is Notice

Police can choose not to behave shamefully, but there is little sign the police will not continue to cover themselves in shame by their brutal suppression of peaceable crowds assembled in accordance with their rights under the First Amendment.

It seems certain the local leaderships of police unions is determined to behave shamefully, and to support officers who disgrace themselves before an attentive public.

15. He's A Social Justice Advocate

And an advocate for programs to help opioid addicts. He, as a result of injuries during his 12 year NBA career, was addicted himself and got himself into some trouble.
He now does on- line stuff advocating for social equality. He's a good guy.

Here's a link demonstrating it.

I saw it in another thread, but I can't find it now. I must not have commented in that thread.
Rex is the guy who posted it, likely because he'll have a comment on what an ass this guy is.

To clean up their act. They have refused. The public has reached a tipping point with these non-stop instances of police abuse... many of them recorded. We will now be rooting out the corruption, racism, and white supremacy they have been either unable or unwilling to deal with on their own.
It's the only way to restore public faith in law enforcement.
