(11,252 posts)Your honor this person rubbed up against my police uniform so I charge him with aggravated assault and when he moved when I was cuffing him I charged him with resisting arrest. This is a dangerous criminal Your Honor? Judge. Bullshit case demised.

(95,243 posts)That letter is worth looking up. It is an incredible indulgence in self-pity, and does not mention why he has received a storm of criticism, namely, that he flat out said police don't shoot enough black people, though one suspects with good cause he habitually employs another word in private among family and friends....

I used to talk cops out of leaving the job. Now Im encouraging them. Its over, America. You finally did it You arent going to have to abolish the police, we wont be around for it."
Be very afraid.
Not exactly, you jerk.
He won't admit that it's America "leaving" his type behind, or face why. The cumulative tragedies and societal damage from Republican protection of rogue, criminal policing have finally come to a boil.
