Heard on police scanners
Police: "Shot those motherfukrs"
Response:"Don't put that over the air"

Police: "We have a group of people blocking traffic, refusing to go, so we're stuck here
Response: "Run them over"

One of the conclusions of that lengthy video:
Trump did not cause this (though, in true Trumpian fashion, he is not helping). This has been going on long before him, and unless you do something about it, long after him, even more likely considering who is probably gonna replace him: Granpa "Shoot them in the leg instead of chest" Biden.

And before someone notices "police riots" and thinks, hmm, odd typo there, the video makes it clear it's intentional. The police commits the majority of violent acts during these protests. The police have been brutalizing not only protesters but also journalists.

The police are the ones actually rioting.

A fun fact i learned from watching this video and then looking for the source:

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/06/how-many-us-states-meet-global-police-use-force-standards/

Guess. A fun game involving people's lives. Guess if the state you're living in meets the standards regarding use of deadly force by the police agreed by the rest of the world.

Edit: A little hint for you and one relevant to current times:
"Nine states allow for the use of lethal force to be used to suppress a riot: Arizona; Delaware; Idaho; Mississippi; Nebraska; Pennsylvania; South Dakota; Vermont and Washington."

It is always good to start a discussion by having a video that is over an hour and then making the first five posts. It definitely makes everyone feel that all sorts of views will be considered.
