You seem to think only blacks were involved in the 60s and the only people to worry about today are black. That isn't history. That is a racist slant on history and current events.

I'm glad he's finally outed himself as a racist. Now maybe some sincere dialog can happen.

So where is the righteous indignation for all the balcks being killed by other blacks??? Lets call your posts for what they really are...a diatribe to foster violence against police by blacks to increase black deaths...are ya on Sharptons payroll lackey?

What a lovely racist screed guijohn.

So I'm a racist because I'm quoting history??? You liberal assholes slay me.

Yet police forces are becoming increasingly militarized due to huge subsidies provided by the federal government:

“Through its little-known “1033 program,” the Department of Defense gave away nearly $500 million worth of leftover military gear to law enforcement in fiscal year 2011… The surplus equipment includes grenade launchers, helicopters, military robots, M-16 assault rifles and armored vehicles… Orders in fiscal year 2012 are up 400 percent over the same period in 2011…”

OPD Lies About Body Cam- Video Surfaces of Cop Beating Handcuffed Veteran Laying Face Down

The Florida State Attorney’s Office is investigating Orlando Police Officer William Escobar after body cam footage the department claimed didn’t exist has mysteriously surfaced.

In June, a video was uploaded to YouTube which was recorded by Luciarae Fripp, the sister of 25 year old Refus Holloway, a former military police officer who served in the Air Force.

The incident took place outside of a relative of Holloway’s house after police were called regarding a fight that he had been trying to break up.

“Refus was trying to tell the police officers what happened,” Holloway’s lawyer Bradley Laurent told the Orlando Sentinal. “He wasn’t yelling, he wasn’t being belligerent in any way shape or form.”
The nearly two minute long and highly disturbing video shows Holloway being brutally beaten, while face down and handcuffed, by Officer Escobar.

Escobar began working for OPD in 2012, and has already been the target of several citizen complaints, none of which have led to formal internal investigations or discipline, The Sentinel reported.

Holloway was not charged with assaulting an officer or resisting arrest, despite the blatant lies in Escobar’s police report.

According to Escobar’s report, he meant to punch Holloway in the back, but instead hit him in the head as he was trying to stand up while resisting being handcuffed.

The video uploaded to YouTube shows that to be a lie, as he was already cuffed and face down as the officer began assaulting him.

Escobar proceeds to drag Holloway several feet and claims he kicked Holloway after Holloway “curled up” his leg as if to kick the officer, WFTV reports.

This was also a lie, disproven by his sister’s footage.

The Orlando Police Department also lied for the officer in their checklist that they sent to the State Attorney’s office, claiming there was no body camera footage, which we now know does infact exist.

Not my fault that the majority of radicals expousing anti-police venom encompasses more blacks than white. I just reported the facts

I wish it became part of the mainstream conversation like other issues.

I feels as though that whole paragraph is full of bad PC, if it offends or I am not correct, feel free to tell me.

but the game YOU are playing is assigning the word racisit to any white man who shines a light on any black problem as if only a black man has the right to do so. Double standard. Just like a black man can use the word nigger 50 times a minute but if a white man uses it even in a non-pejorative fashion (like I just did) he's automatically a racisit

Seems that instead of resisting the US becoming a culture of violence, the police are wholeheartedly leading the way. It's sad and shocking,

Dashcam Shows Cop Drive By Woman Whose Kids Were Being Taken at Gunpoint

“Right here what, baby? I’m on a call.”

Those were the words uttered by 28-year veteran of the Dallas PD, Cpl. Les Richardson as he drove by a mother screaming for his help as her children were being taken at gunpoint.

Richardson was fired this week for his negligent actions in refusing to help Miesha Kilson who was flagging him down as her kids were being kidnapped by a deranged lunatic.

In September, Miesha Kilson was being chased down by a crazed man with a gun, Steven Douglas. During the chase Kilson hit a curb which left her vehicle disabled. Douglas then came over to Kilson’s vehicle and proceeded to kidnap her children at gun point.

“He reached into the windows, pulls it out,” said Kilson. “And as the window exploded in my face, I actually thought he shot it; I didn’t know at the time. But I did see his hands up and he pulled [the window] out. And I looked over, and as I looked up out that passenger window, I swear I saw an angel ‘cause I saw a police car right at my car.”

In that police cruiser was Cpl Les Richardson; Kilson’s angel quickly vanished.

Douglas was eventually caught and killed by other Dallas police officers but not before kidnapping two children.

Disciplinary hearings were held last month in which Dallas police commanders recommended that Officer Les Richardson be terminated by Chief David Brown. Thankfully Chief Brown made the right choice to fire him.

The four allegations against Richardson were: dereliction of duty, improper comments, failure to immediately clear upon the completion of a call and use of tobacco products in a city vehicle.

Richardson has the right to appeal the charges and ask for his job back.

This firing was quite surprising considering that the Supreme Court ruled that the police do not owe a specific duty to provide police services to individuals based on the public duty doctrine. In other words, police do not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm.

For-profit prisons. If there's such a thing as a final nail in the coffin, that's gotta be in the running for the definition.

I think once a person has been (targeted and) locked up, no one cares enough to monitor his/her treatment anyway. Innocent or guilty, they become just objects to be controlled, like cattle at an auction. I say this as a former duty officer in a minimum-security facility. But I'm more interested, in line with the OP, in how/why they got (targeted and) locked up in the first place.
