I come from a family with several law enforcement officers in it. This has got to stop.

And I am done hearing about how this is a "few bad apples." It's a system that is broken. The use of overwhelming force every arrest is being trained into officers. These holds are wrong, they should not be trained. Kneeling on someone is never a safe way to restrain someone.

And more than just their training, the system of reporting and being held accountable has to be completely revamped. It's totally out of wack right now or this wouldn't keep happening.

It's pretty low wage these days. The system is definitely broken. Not so much a great or noble occupation anymore.

Most probably wanted to make a difference, one though, my brother in law, is just an asshole and loves the power trip he gets. Regularly posts on Facebook on the way to work that he's looking forward to ruining someone's day today.

I knew a few of them some years ago - those particular cops are probably retired now but it doesn't seem like much has changed.

Blue capture is just very hard to overcome.

As usual.

is that backup when to crowd control. They are upset with command for keeping the officer on his own so long.
From what I was able o glean from them is the body cams are going to make this a long term problem as it will give those who are inclined to defend the police a way to demonize the man who died.

As one cop said to me it will be an even bigger sh&t show when the jury acquits.

helping to restrain the victim, who appears to still be moving at that point. There is also a third cop wandering around nearby.
