nothing is ever going to change regarding police brutality without a massive general societal upheaval. Working within the system will not work because they are the system. Changing public perception of them will not work because public attention is easily rerouted and the police do not care regardless
its just too deeply engrained in this country and they were given the keys to everything long ago. No amount of movements or protests or court cases are going to change course. It would have to be way bigger than that --- I pray god will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in truth ...

Well we can't just hand wave this with white privilege. Even old white men can get brutalized by the police and not receive justice.
But yeah the events of the past summer feel like they won't have too much of a lasting effect. The cops basically have society by the balls despite being so obviously guilty of brutalizing the public. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 ...

Note for the unaware, grand juries are basically rubber stamps for whatever the prosecutor wants. The threshold for getting a grand jury to issue an indictment is so damn low that any prosecutor worth two shits could indict anyone for anything.
So, to be clear, this prosecutor is either a) incompetent or b) didn't want an indictment. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ... Copied to Clipboard!
