    They were untrained, overworked, and frustrated African American police officers that are suffering everyday they see the devastation in the communities they in which they believed they could make a difference. They are arresting the same people for violent crime, constantly abused by the same groups of people, as well as the media, and have to drug overdose deaths skyrocket in African American Communities. They are routinely insulted by the media and members of their community. They resent having to work in dangerous African American communities as opposed to mixed affluent areas. The number of black men killing black victims continues to increase or stagnate from their spike in 2021, and the same rise is not found in White and Hispanic communities. And watching the violent criminals return to the street after an arrest, prosecution or imprisonment is demoralizing them. How are they supposed to act when nothing is working? Should we blame the Justice System for the actions of a few hundred police officers losing their cool?

    The problem is Democrats. They've played a significant role in triggering these problems through their action and inaction. They took advantage of the Crime Bill Repeal by loosening bail and legislating new rules and standards for prosecutors and Judges. They gave a platform for the marxist and racist idiots in BLM, which is currently advocating for prohibition of jails, prisons, and DOCs. They're teaching this in African American college programs. Why? Cause Democrats won't hold them accountable, and they'll just blame racism. And the only benefit of bringing attention to these rare cases of police brutality only contributes to the problem, because it's just a distraction from the real problems.

    Honestly, those so-called 'racist cops' deserve an apology from BLM cause it turns out black lives actually mattered to them.

    Nothing excuses two officers holding Tyre's head still while a third officer backs up and kicks Tyre's head like a soccer ball.

    More than once.

    No justification.

    I don't care. I haven't even watched it, and I'm not defending it. I'm just telling you why it's happening. And the fact that you're talking about this story instead of the real issues is part of the problem. Police Brutality isn't more important than the Hard Drug and Violent Crime Epidemic in Black Communities. These dudes are suffering from trauma working in these communities.

    You should empathize with these officers instead of taking this hardline stance that there are 'no justifications' for brutality.

    Oh pfff... Michael Brown. That REALLY showed you can't trust cops and that they are racist. The feds busted them of endlessly targeting specifically poor black people to generate funds, with a lot of bogus arrests. Good one, Bill.

    Seriously....
    According to the other "culprit" the cop first grabbed Brown by the neck through the window of his car and threated he would kill him on the spot and pulled a gun on him. So Brown fought for his life and than ran off. The other culprit said that Brown indeed put his hands up and turned around at some point of running away. At that point, the cop shot him in the front 150 ft away from the car, and the cop claimed that Brown was running at him. Further research showed that you can not trust a SINGLE cop in Fergusson. The predominantly white cops installed a systemic racist system to specifically hunt down poor black people with plenty of bogus arrest, so bank accounts could be filled.

    So it's not as simple as "hands up, don't shoot". The basis remains that cops in Fergusson were crooked, and could not be trusted. That's on all of them. The account of what the cop said can't not be trusted. The idea that somebody runs for his life, is going to charge a cop pointing a gun at them seems utterly retarded for the sake to explain how bullets end up in the front. The official report concludes that there is nothing that clears the cop of what went on while also admit that it could have happened, AND there is everything he could have done differently to end up not supposedly fearing for his life and find a need to kill Brown. Hence the city paid over a million in damages.

    And here you are, defending the ways of a crooked cop who is to blame that he totally messed up an attempt to arrest an unarmed person and ending up killing him.

    I not that you're not responding to what I sourced, and instead of gracefully conceding are gaslighting around on demanding I must specifically come up with the numbers of the last month. I never stated I based my claim on the last month, champ. If you want them. than go fish.

    The Federal investigation proved that to be a lie, too.
