Nice try.
Officers were immediately fired.
One charged with murder.
The wheels of justice are in motion.
If my calling them animals because they acted like animals makes anyone sad, make yourself some nice tea and turn on the Hallmark channel.
Yes they were...doesn’t make the fella any less dead, does it? Doesn’t change the fact that not 1, but 3 officers thought this was acceptable behaviour, and felt justified in it. Confident enough in there actions to kill a guy in slow motion on video, with no fear of repercussions. If that isn’t a sign that massive change is needed, I don’t know what is.
People kill people every day, yes. Killing someone full knowing it’s illegal is a problem. Killing someone and thinking you are within the law (which is your field of study), and/or above repercussion is an entirely different problem. One that US cops systematically have a problem with, particularly with black people. Not new information, not my opinion...well documented.
So ya...a bunch of bougie white chicks protesting a pipeline is 1 thing...protesting a system constantly failing your community and killing you is an entirely different scenario. What’s the appropriate response? Don’t know. I do know that responses usually get more aggressive when the problem isnt addressed.
