I updated this post given all that’s been going on in the world. Read on:
This isn’t the usual kind of article I write. It’s a bit different.
Because of that, I’m going to ask for your patience: please read until the end before you form an opinion or comment (we’ll get back to that.)
I’ll explain my reasons why and some more thoughts about all this afterward.
First take a look at this example of police brutality during the arrest of a black man, for no apparent reason.
What do you see here in this disgusting video?
A couple of things:
- The officer violently takes the man down. Like a coward, he grabs the man from behind and yanks him brutally to the ground.
- His partner shows up and goes crazy. He starts beating the crap out of the poor black man with his night stick. It’s insane!
- They almost crushed him to death. They ram their knees into him so hard he almost gets crushed. The poor black man cries for help, he’s clearly in fear of his life.
- They should be thrown in prison. These officers are clearly incompetent and could have killed that man.
I’m sure you are feeling outraged and angry right now.
Before you go on, it’s important that you watch it again, including the longer version, with more details of what the officers did. Watch it all the way to the end! [Read more…]
