Taxpayers Subsidizing Racist Cops
Police precincts have paid out over a billion dollars for brutality claims in the last few years, most of this money going to the families of minority “suspects” that were brutally injured or even killed by police officers. This money that is being used to pay these claims is coming from the taxpayers, meaning that we’re subsidizing the racism of our police forces.
Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.
