the system is broken folks, and the police are just a part of that broken system. how unfair is it to expect these poor pawns of an broken system to obey the constitution, be nice to old ladies and not act like dip shits when they are just as much victims as we are?
you want it to change, then elect politicians that won't force the police to trample rights and act violently with the non violent.
it's all the politicians fault! and don't forget the lawyers! have any of you even considered that the officer that tackled that old lady might have kids!?
he was just trying to get home to see his kids! think of the children!
