before they understand that LE is out of control? I don't think it's isolated incidents I think it's a pervasive thing in the entire country.

The bosses seemed pleased. Large portions of our government are out of control. It's not just the cops.

yes, I know they are pleased. I am sure their more immediate bosses are also pleased that they are able to fill corporate jails. That large portions of the government is out of control is no longer a shock. That our government is has been sold to the 1% has now been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt and we have little in our arsenal to combat this we have GOTV and our scant consumer dollars that we can try to give less and less of to the worst corporate offenders.

just like they "deserve" to be shot when committing a crime.

Look back at Civil Rights movement.. it's going to take a bunch of "whites" to get involved before the cops back off.

Sometimes I look at my country and feet totally ashamed at what goes on.

Nothing is new here. And the cops have pensions they will lose if the rich they support has their way.
