I keep feeling no matter what happens, no matter what’s exposed, no matter what we do, even with the DOJ & FBI starting to get involved, we somehow haven’t gotten to the bottom of why certain cops are intent on murdering people. There is a deeper evil here than we have yet named.

Brother of #MarioGonzalez: “the police killed my brother in the same way they killed #GeorgeFloyd.” Gonzalez family has seen Alameda PD body cam video & they say police had their weight on Mario’s neck & his back. “Everything we saw in this video was unnecessary...” @nbcbayarea

Dissolve the ego, and find peace.

Rewatching "xpolice" from Saturday Night Live of 40 years ago, it wasn’t funny then and it’s even less funny now. The difference is that today, they’re not x-police, they’re still in your police department, protected by the so-called "good cops" who’ve also welcomed in the klan.

Racism, roid rage, toxic masculinity & a union that protects them from almost everything.

FEAR that power, privilege and status will be taken away. So go after anyone who represents@that threat.

Some people just like to kill. Before, we’d ship them off to the army. But as we’ve militarized the cops, they now show up closer to home. I’d start by requiring 10-20 hours of therapy, PER YEAR, for all sworn officers.

Marinate an institution in a messiah complex, toxic culture and a union run like a tribal mob for over a century and I'm not surprised that this is the outcome.

“cops are intent on murdering people.” 🤔

I'm sick of the excuse that is used to defend the current policing institutions, that it's just a few bad apples. A few bad apples spoil the bunch!!! The rot has spread from them to the entire institution.
