Huh, it turns out additional funding for training was not the correct course of action to stop the murdering bastards.
The entire system has blood on their hands for every murder they commit from now on
"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land can never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done."
“He called me at about 1:40, said he was getting pulled over by the police,” the woman told reporters at the scene, according to a Facebook Live video. “He said they pulled him over because he had air fresheners hanging from his rearview mirror.”
Jesus fucking christ
This is the first I'm hearing about this... I'm wondering if all the mainstream news is just gonna ignore unrest all summer since sleepy Joe is in office.
Imagine shooting someone after stopping someone for having air fresheners on their rearview mirror.
Honestly I can't even.
imagine people whose "job" revolves around issuing citations for misdemeanor infractions of civil code being given deadly weapons as part of their standard equipment.
imagine giving a bunch of glorified hall monitors knives and telling them they can stab the other students a little if they get "uppity" and then saying they need those knives for their own safety.
imagine handing out brass-knuckles at a retirement home, whoever collects the most dentures gets extra jello at meal time.
the whole thing is absolutely nonsensical
ignore unrest all summer
depends on how much consent they need to manufacture against them
shouldn't be much, at this point
How many people the Minneapolis Police have killed since George Floyd? Like I swear this guy is at least the fifth or something.
I lived in Minneapolis for awhile and it has the same problem that Portland, OR does in that none of the officers actually live in the city.
They treat going into Minneapolis like they are entering Afghanistan.
Jesus Christ, I can't imagine being this dudes mom calling moments before he's murdered. Each story is somehow more painful to hear than the last one for me, fucking awful.
In North Korea, the police brutally kill anyone they don't like on the spot.
Not only that, but the corrupt state media will lie, smear and gaslight until a sizable chunk of the population is brainwashed enough to actively defend the right of the police to execute them.
fucking pigs. this shit never ends. they were probably out to kill him as soon as they pulled him over.
Rest in power Daunte Wright.
“He said they pulled him over because he had air fresheners hanging from his rearview mirror.”
u wot m8 ?
Just one of many pretenses cops can use to pull someone over. Obstructed windshield, 'awkward driving', not signaling properly, etc. You can just use any excuse for actively targeting black people.
There are so many loopholes built into the system to allow murder. This country is beyond sick.
spoiler: inappropriate humour because i cant even process my hatred for this country anymore
another victim in the war on

They suspected that the air freshener was stolen, and used to conceal drugs.
add it to the wall next to getting ice cream, walking a dog, and wearing a face covering in the winter
In their own damn county, even. Brooklyn Center is an exurb of Minneapolis
“One officer discharged their firearm, striking the driver,” the statement said. “The vehicle then traveled several blocks before striking another vehicle.”
preedit edit: ACAB means all cops are bastards
“One officer discharged their firearm, striking the driver,”
I always lose my shit when I see this passive, tertiary phrasing every media outlet uses to describe cops murdering people.
"The man tried to flee the scene, so the officer decided to kill him" doesn't quite sound so nice because people might start to believe that it's excessive force.
"The bourgeoisie were dissolved following a guillotine-associated incident"
You mean a height reduction procedure with a gravity assisted surgical device?
Schrodinger's gun too. They're used with intent to kill, yet pigs are not intending to kill when they use them.
