Most police aren't good. The statement makes our inaction tolerable as POCs visibly abused/killed.

The police said their policy dictated that they put these innocent women and little girls in handcuffs and on the ground because of policy. BS. Do you think if that were a white family they'd do that? Hell no.

. . . the very FIRST thing the police would have done, upon seeing them, would have been to double check that they had the right vehicle. But they saw a black family, and so they simply assumed criminality. Unconscionable!
