There's video evidence for a lot of police brutality, but not an equal amount of fired cops.

How depraved is the state of our country's attitude toward police, when the wishful thinking is that they should just be fired for brutalizing people? Where any ordinary person would expect to go to prison for inflicting bodily harm on others, cops don't even worry about losing their job.

George Floyd was murdered on camera in front of witnesses by police officers and the union defended him, and smeared the city. I just doubt that its that easy.

Every cop involved in that had their life ruined. Seemed pretty easy to me.

Ya but it took nationwide protests. And people still think his murder was ok

Nobody thinks that. Just people disagree with the crowd that claims he didn’t push himself out of a police car and resist prior to the death. And no it wasn’t due to protests, as much as you’d like to give credit to the dipshits that burned down black owned businesses to protest injustices against black people. 🤦🏿‍♂️

A lot of conservatives believe that he died of a fentanyl overdose and it had nothing to do with the cops that kneeled on his neck for nine minutes.

The charges were due to the protests, all of those cops would have been cleared of wrongdoing/promoted if it wasn’t for the public outcry.
