    “Is he bipolar schizo?”

    What a cunt of a human being. He used a child-like level of insulting language, escalated at evey situation, tazed needlessly and without warning, and made zero attempts to do anything but bark orders to a person who is CLEARLY in a distressed mental state and unable to comply.

    As bad as it is, situations like these make me do a little cheer in my head every time I see an article where a police officer dies.

    They kill so many people compared to every other civilized nation, hopefully they die at increased rates as well. It’s only fair, right?

    I admit I feel guilty to feel that way, but it’s the result of seeing the police betray the public at every turn. Crushing protests, shooting people running away, beating people senseless for seemingly nothing, slamming a man to the pavement walking to work which broke his skull and left him with life long brain damage. Shouting at EVERYONE for EVERYTHING. Illegally arresting people shouting “STOP RESISTING” as the person is contorted and unable to move. While raining punches and knees down on men, women, children (especially black children) who are face down on the ground. All while communicating like impatient children. Expecting the public to bow to them without question. It’s all so old and ubiquitous.

    There are thousands of these videos at this point. They’ve been terrors for long before we all had cameras. Now we just see it.

    Just remember, if you have a problem and call the police, now you have two problems.

    Fuck the police. ACAB. etc.
