Man, this screams "racial profiling" and "unjustified use of force" and they still want to claim there's no wrongdoing. Seriously, what needs to happen before a police organization goes "Yes, this was excessive and unjustified and we have disciplined the responsible officers" instead of first trying to gaslight the public?
But they said there isn't no racial profiling.
Why would the police lie?
I mean, ignore the thousands of times when they did or victim blamed and ruined their life...
If they do it once, the armor is cracked. If the armor is cracked, their whole organization, and the prison conveyor belt all fall apart.
If that later falls apart, then the citizenry will notice the injustice of the next tier more fully, and the cycle continues. Cops are bastards because they more than anyone else prop up injustice because they insulate it.
What needs to happen? Apart from a slow burn towards better policing in general, or doing away with the system and rebuilding, I'd imagine at this point likely actual confrontation, deaths that catch the eye of the world, and strong leaders who step up to speak for everyone.
But hey, I'm up for ideas.
