Not only did the police target this black man for essentially no reason (really? You chase a driver, which is dangerous to the entire community, because he's missing a mud flap?), the responding officers gave mixed commands at the same time, and then assaulted him with a dog while he had already surrendered.
Anyone want to bet that the culprit here gets a paid vacation while his department investigates and finds no wrongdoing?
We need to redo the police system in the US from the ground up.
The crime was driving while black. The cruelty is the point.
Don't forget the power tripping. That's a big part of the point as well.
Yep. The point is to either force the "undesirables" into an underclass or to leave.
The system works exactly as designed.
