What are you waiting for?
Everytime this transpires, still you insist that cops aren't deplorable, that most are good, especially against evidence to the contrary. 5 cops took turns viciously beating this 29 year old man, for reasons unproven. Where are the good cops in this video and various other videos? So many videos, so many deplorable cops. And it doesn't seem to ever matter, the people protest, the president pretends to care, the "back the blue" people still support, and in most cases, nothing transpires, especially when the cops are white.
The cops in this particular video gasconade about what they've done. "I was landing straight haymakers, dog", "I jumped in and started rockin", afore this man was brutally beaten, one of them verbalizes "I hope they stomp his ass". They punched him, they kicked him in the face, they hit him with batons, and pepper sprayed him. And reminiscent of Rodney King, he was ceased for a traffic contravention (of which no evidence subsists) and again, like Mr. King, they beat him rigorously, only distinction being, Tyre died. It's reminiscent of another police beating, Kelly Thomas. A homeless man, accused of stealing mail, was beaten so deplorably by 6 cops that his face was left disfigured. Again, these cops bragged "I just smashed his face to hell". You can find the video and pictures online, those 6 cops were acquitted after a judge verbally expressed the police acted reasonably! On what fucking planet (conspicuously this one) is it plausible to murder someone for stealing mail, allegedly? I digress.
Tyre Nichols was handcuffed while they beat him. So many videos of cops shooting people with their hands up, so many videos of cops beating people, so many videos. And what transpires? People still support the police, and nothing fucking changes. Calls to defund the police are still met with vexation from imbecilic people, as if defunding police isn't warranted. I don't optate to defund the police, I optate to rid them entirely. We do not require the police. I understand that to a plethora of people, this sounds counterproductive, but it genuinely isn't, simple research fortifies me in this. It's just a matter of you wanting to do the research and a quality to transmute your opinion when facts are presented. It is beyond clear that most people lack this quality, they optate to live with the prevarications, because it's comfortable and convenient. Even when the nutjob right-wing retards verbalize about what transpired to Tyre, they spend most of the time advocating for the police still.
Tyre Nichols screamed for his mother. Kelly Thomas screamed for his father. I have no hope and no faith in humanity in this moment, like so many other moments. Humans, for all we've accomplished, for all the astonishing things we've done, we're still unimaginably fucking stupid.
