My family was well off. I was very fortunate, but also raised to know that. I grew up in a multiracial environment, and my father and grandfather both taught us that ALL humans were equal. They also practiced what they preached.This is such a vile thing for these officers to do that I have no words. Sadly, it doesn’t surprise me.
JFC. No words. And even though an officer did the right thing, the only true punishment is likely to fall on him or her. I'm sure the source of the image and "Valentine" will be found...in a couple forty years or so.
"Zero tolerance for racism" says the chief. Bull. Shit. Nastiness like this doesn't appear in your department out of the blue. These assholes have been racist to the core for a long time and no doubt there were plenty of incidents before, they just got caught this time.
I will never ever understand how someone can dehumanize another person based solely on their skin color. I will never understand a person who can take joy in this type of behavior. Knowing I have to share a planet with people who think like this makes me wish for some kind of extinction level event, just wipe the place clean and start over, our species has failed.
“Let’s whoop some ass,” Officer Christopher Myers wrote, according to texts obtained by federal agents. Later, he added: “The bosses are being a little more lenient with the use of force by us.”“The more the merrier!!!” Officer Dustin Boone wrote. “It’s going to be fun beating the hell out of these sheads once the sun goes down and nobody can tell us apart … Just fpeople up when they don’t act right!”On the third night of protests, the two officers confronted a middle-age Black protester named Luther Hall. Hall later told authorities his hands were raised when someone grabbed him from behind and slammed him into the ground face first. Then, Hall said, he was struck by police batons and boots. He required spinal surgery, and for weeks struggled to eat through a bruised jaw.

But it looks like in 2013 they cleared MORE than 100% of the murder and non-negligent manslaughter cases!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder how Adam Kinzinger's family feels about this.
Well, it's zero tolerance when other people can see it.
and I'll bet every single one of those cops believe they are exceptional christians.
So is the "mainstream" press.
This should shock exactly no one who continued to pay attention.
This is all too horrible for words. This country has a lot of atoning to do.
Yeah, I hear everyone down there is out. A bunch of my coworkers are MIA.
throw in the CPD.
ACAB. That is all.
Also the Rampart scandal.

And then there are all the racist assholes who continue to insist that George Floyd died of fentanyl, not the 9 minutes of a knee on his neck.
