If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Law Enforcement is already finding out that they can't fuck with American citizens. They exist at OUR pleasure, not the other way around. We know that, but we are polite enough to not dwell on it, and just live our lives.
But interrupt that flow of society, and it will not go well for them. They are BADLY outnumbered.
Huh? How? Where?
Seems like they pretty much can go around murdering American citizens with impunity. Where is the finding out?
The ubiquity of video cameras mean that police abuses are coming to light constantly, and bad cops are being held accountable for the first time. Here's a recent video of two NYC detectives brutally beating a guy in a bodega, in public, on front of witnesses, in front of cameras.
It used to be that the public would automatically take the side of Law Enforcement, but now it is exactly the opposite. In fact, now people WANT to catch cops doing bad stuff so they get a valuable viral video.
These guys - detectives, so they are experienced trained veteran caps - were confident that they could beat this totally innocent victim of mistaken identity (so the cops were incompetent, too, not just violent), with no consequences at all, but they've been fired. If there hadn't been a camera, if the video hadn't been released, these cops would have totally gotten away with it, but the public is now monitoring every public Law Enforcement incident, and acting on the abuses they record.
The environment for cops has turned much more hostile, and it's getting even hotter. Just because people aren't shooting at cops (yet) doesn't mean that cops aren't feeling the heat. Getting outed in the international media as a violent scumbag for beating and killing innocent people, and getting fired for it (due to the undeniable video evidence), means your FAMILY is going to have to deal with YOUR Tomfoolery at school, work, church, the grocery store, the salon, friends, etc. Do you think your kids' friends are going to be allowed to come over to play? Mine wouldn't be.
Think of that arrogant, racist, violent ape, when he realizes that the brutal, violent career he loves has come to an end, and he's probably going to have to take a job at Home Depot, or worse, in the guard shack at a gated community for rich assholes, where he will make minimum wage, and he won't be allowed to beat up the residents for Fun & Dopamine, and whatever else he can steal from them. And on top of that, his family hates him. There are worse things than death.
Just because they aren't as bad as they could be, we should just allow them to continue being increasingly abusive?
Here's an example of two veteran, trained, experienced NYC detectives handling a suspect in their own special "civilized" way, in public, in front of cameras, confident nothing will happen to them.
Oh, BTW, they had the wrong guy. He's now suing them for $100 million, for their "civilized" behavior, so something did happen to them, they got fired. THEY were the ones who FAFO'd.
Cops, civilized? Get the fuck out of here with that shit. After MAGA, law enforcement is easily the most destabilizing, uncivilized entity in America. American cops are a large portion of the problem.
