Bodycams are making a lot more of these available now too. Saw a brutal one where cops paralyze a handcuffed guy by breaking his neck, then they sit prop him up in a sitting position and complain that hes uncooperative because won't move.

That was a year ago, the dude is dead and the cops got off scott free.

I made an argument with one of my co-workers that I think that police unions should have to pay all legal bills and payouts for cops getting sued for violating rights. He responded "That's a quick way to get rid of all police unions," I had to stop and think if that would be a problem or not.

My point was the police unions are the only ones that can hold their members accountable. If they forced their members to act better instead of being thugs then things might change. If Police unions don't hold themselves accountable then no one will.

No, the legal lawsuit payouts don't come from the cops, their insurance, or their pensions. The taxpayers foot the bill for the lawsuits by losing money from their city's funds.

NYPD pays $600,000/ year as pension.

They have to be destroyed by any means necessary.

I like the word ghoul though, I don't wanna ruin it with their taint

What about this?

Good horse

Like during Black Lives Matter rallies where pallets of bricks were randomly in the middle of roads.

They’re hoping for bloodshed on the side of police or military, it’s their ticket to ride. They can do whatever they want once they establish the civilian populace as a threat to military personnel. These guys are little more than sacrificial pawns as far as the administration is concerned, they’re hoping that at least one of them meets a violent enough end so they can justify martial law and start unloading on every crowd of protesters.

Because the bulk of society in the US, the working class, has no say in the matter.

Abject cowardice and laziness?

LAPD is a fucking gang

This could cause a civil war.

The arming was (and remains) mainly about keeping the US settler garrison empowered to carry out indigenous eviction, and keeping non-white populations under control. Not protecting from a tyrannical government.

You can see that when those groups did try to arm themselves, such as the Black panthers or the American Indian Movement, laws were passed and repression carried out to disarm them.

Highly recommend reading Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - Loaded, the disarming history of the second amendment for more on this. You can find the audiobook on torrents.

Can you legally shoot a cop if they were shooting at you for no reason?

That was a lie. The ones who don't like tyranny don't like guns, and the ones who like guns don't actually mind tyranny, so long as it hurts the right people.
