    Or they hire complete morons without doing a psychological test or study of potential employees/officers.

    I knew some dumb, arrogant assholes from high school that were able to get a job with the PPB because of their aggressive tendencies which the PPB were looking for at the time.

    Brown was never out of control. He was nervous and trying to figure out what the hell was going on. A cop started harrasing him because the color of his skin, then half the police department showed up. Brown probably thought he was going to get shot. I thought he kept pretty dambed composed considering.

    Suspended? We want obviously racist officers who assault people for being black still on the force and NOT behind bars?

    Yeah no. These MFs need to be prosecuted.

    Suspended...

    Honestly, just getting them out of policing isn't nearly enough. They need to be prosecuted and imprisoned.

    You would think. Sadly, there have been many instances of police brutality, that were caught on film, where charges were never filed. And even more where charges were filed, but the cops were still acquitted. Video evidence still takes a back seat to a cop saying "I felt threatened."

    Why are you tagging me... I support reform and want the officer prosecuted... I’m very big on accountability... this is what you do, group people and stereotype because their opinion on something differs from yours... I want awareness brought to police brutality and I want the bad officers to pay for the injustice... I just don’t agree with kneeling during the anthem and don’t believe it’s an effective way to do it

    I do believe you. And it's fine for you to not agree with other people kneeling - that's your prerogative. What I really want to get through to you is that your disagreement does not supersede the rights of others. Disagree all you want, but don't support rules or laws that take away the rights we all have equal access to. Unfortunately this even extends to hate groups that have nothing positive to offer society - the ACLU consistently defends the rights of Neo-Nazi groups and individuals.

    This shit - and many other issues - is not going to go away anytime soon, and certainly won't if people aren't constantly reminded that it's happening every minute of every day across the entire country. Kneeling is not going to make it stop. But it is one small action that will continue to be a reminder. And hopefully, when taken together with all sorts of other actions - big and small - will actually result in some real change at some point. This is the snowball rolling down the hill - it's still near the top of the hill, but with each action added, each voice added, the snowball gets bigger and bigger.

    You want to guess what our safe word really is? "KOBE"
