1. Not A Good Weekend For Police Brutality As There Were 4 Incidents Reported

In Virginia an Army LT. was pulled over for paper plates with the police pulling out guns. No shots fired.

In Texas a 16 year old fueled an ATV he was driving and a police officer asked to see his ID, which he gave and the office immediately said he was under arrest and when the youth turned his back on the aggressive officer the officer sucker punched him, then jumped on top of him and continued to punch him. After being booked for resisting an officer he was released to his parents.

Then there was this incident near Minneapolis where the officer pulled the 20-year old over for having air fresheners dangling from his rear view mirror. Police shot him and he later died.

I don't recall the details of the other case where a black man was pulled over for a traffic stop and the police shot and killed him. Just too many to keep everything straight.

And there was the report of the so-called Antifa member in Washington that police said was killed in an exchange of gun fire. It turns out that while he had a gun it was still in his pocket will a fully loaded magazine. In other words, the weapon had not been fired.

Things have gotten totally out of control.
