You know what needs to stop? School shootings. I’m not defending police brutality, but this nation loses its shit for one grown man but shrugs when dozens of innocent children are slaughtered.

#12Cool. And who does the website with videos about brutality against police? This doesn't do anything but making the problem worse.
Police already publish arrest records, mug shots, and they're covered by the media as well. Criminal charges are public records and covered by FOIA requests.

Whereas with violence done by police, even if you have the best video in the world proving that they murdered someone on live TV, those charges probably wouldn’t stick. Or even be brought to court.
There needs to be a counterbalance to their overwhelming power in such matters.

TIL. Thanks!
edit: Hmmm, the gesture was sincere. I was aware of the principle but not the name. It's going to come in handy in these times.

Talking about one does not remove the necissities to address the other, and addressing the other takes nothing away from individuals championing reforms of the former.
