Can't remember if this has been posted, but here's how to train a US cop...

Despite lawsuits made by the NYPD Unions in an attempt to prevent the information going public ProPublica publish details of Police disciplinary records. The database lists active-duty officers who’ve had at least one allegation against them substantiated by the CCRB: That’s about 4,000 officers out of the NYPD’s 36,000-member force. Thirty-four officers have had 40 or more allegations against them.
This is really just the tip of the iceberg though as in another report there's this nugget of information: New York’s Civilian Complaint Review Board made 212 requests for body-worn camera footage in May. The NYPD sent only 33 responses, according to a memo obtained by ProPublica.

And people don’t realise there’s a problem in America.

It is a powder keg isn't it? And above it all Trump is a child playing with matches.

It has all the hallmarks of when people say in this country, "Where's the straight parade?!"!
Honestly, some people will never get it.

Made me feel almost as sick as it did angry.

Turns my stomach that sort of stuff. I probably shouldn't have watched it really

Well, my heart sank.
I think I felt shocked because I've seen so much juxtaposition in the media, that I forgot that this still existed!
It could be 'The Twilight Zone', that place!

Barr about to have his hearing to defend sending in federal agents to wind up protestors.

A lovely twitter thread on police unions here:

I got it from this Philly Inquirer article:
Video of officers arresting man buying bike at Walmart goes viral, prompts protests
He may well have been loud when reprimanded about test-driving the bike, but in the end, he paid for the damn thing and was leaving . . . when the cops decided to forcibly put him in handcuffs and arrest him?
Ugh.

I thought was 'identified' by his ex/ wife as a cop?? There was even a pic of him that went viral.
I suppose the two aren't mutually exclusive...

Looks like New York is heading the same way as Portland. I dread to think how bad things will get in response to this.

Barr will be itching to send in his 'stormtroopers' to crack a few skulls.

May be not as bad as 1st thought:
The NYPD addressed the viral video on its official Twitter "news" account.
"In regard to a video on social media that took place at 2 Ave & 25 St, a woman taken into custody in an unmarked van was wanted for damaging police cameras during 5 separate criminal incidents in & around City Hall Park. The arresting officers were assaulted with rocks & bottles," the NYPD said. "When officers from the Warrant Squad took the woman into custody in a gray NYPD minivan this evening, they were assaulted with rocks and bottles. The Warrant Squad uses unmarked vehicles to effectively locate wanted suspects."
Didn't see too many rocks or bottles flying around in the video though.

Portland and New York have strong Democratic influences but it’s not political according to William “Göring” Barr.
