Judging from your pictures you posted here, its funny you telling a brown person theyre privileged lol. I didnt become a cop until I was 25. I busted my ass off to get where I am today.

GrabASnickers 02/16/21 6:45:24 PM #58:	The problem is the age old "who polices the police" question, and that's why so many people feel like a complete upheaval is necessary. Even if we take little steps it's generally reliant on people acting in good faith. But we've seen like how useless body cams are. Cops can just turn them off, and if they don't do that, they can capture themselves killing someone on camera and their superiors will just ignore that and make up lies to justify it. <cite>GrabASnickers posted [p:950713842] in Minneapoli...

This obviously isnt to say its justified at all, but that improving material conditions would do far more to alleviate this horrible crime than levying state-sanctioned violence on people after the fact. --- "If you wanna grow your business you need to exploit more." ~Austin_Era_II "Out of those two?
