instead, they use them for fun and still shoot unarmed people. Disgusting. Remove all of their weapons.

If you're law abiding you have nothing to worry about.

Never doubt that the USA is number one!

How many times have we seen videos of "suspects" (i.e., protestors) who are wrestled to the ground and cuffed, only to have an officer taze them repeatedly?

How many times have we seen videos of "suspects" (i.e., protestors) who are being beaten and tazed, told to "stop resisting" as if we have the ability to lie still and silent while being tazed and beaten. It's not physically or humanely possible.

It seems some cops like to torture as a punishment for questioning or challenging their authority.
