hundreds of people who are black in addition to those mentioned by you. Period. I agree with the point of your words. Not with the moral. The point you make is a rather recent phenomenon, I mean the rampant police brutality against whites. Blacks,(rosewood) native-Americans(wounded knee) and to a lesser degree Hispanics have borne the brunt of authoritarian amerikkkan brutality for HUNDREDS of YEARS. Whites have not. When enough white people get pissed off at the abrogation of their privilege by those militarized police forces, it will change for them. Not for minorities. How do I know? Historical precedent. Only when police officers like that brave woman who was fired from her policing job and beaten because she dared stand up for an handcuffed black prisoner being choked and abused by a psychopath hiding behind badge is my idea of a good cop. The psychopath who hit her and abused the handcuffed prisoner had a history of this type of behavior. When that "blue wall of silence" is finally breached by decent people who are cops, and the psychopaths are weeded out, only then will the violent, vicious police culture change and the 1%ers don't want that type of change, the unions will always turn a blind eye, DA's will never indict cops for brutality. Since that is fact WE ARE, as you say, going to continue to be the enemy to the militarized forces sowing terror on the streets of amerikkka.

Can the mayor fire those cops and this filthy prick who goes on the tv blaming NoJusticeNoPeace Dec 2014 #1
