Yep, the Police can be very brutal in the USA ๐บ๐ธ
More people than nobody do need to see it to believe itโ#Pics or it didn't happen. ๐
#PoliceBrutality is #Systemic and #Endemic. When I'm in a more doubtful mood I think of it as a confluence of random events and human natureโStanford Prison Experimentโthat get us to a point that we're at right now, but when I'm more confident I see it as a #mindfully #programmed part of the #system of #Capitalism by the #Wealthy #Oligarchs like #Koch Bros. designed specifically to keep the people in powerโin power.
No matter what the driving force is behind our #InstitutionalRacism and #Police #Brutality, it exists.
Seeing-as-how a couple days ago a down-to-Earth but established star like Anna Kendrick has started #Tweeting about it, maybe you can pass it on to your #JoeThePlumber type relatives before #FauxNews starts slandering her as an #Atheist #Lesbian #BabyEater, or the #qAnon / #MAGA types try to murder her.
I mean. They couldnโt stop themselves from blatantly escalating things. Even for a few days, even cynically, even for the optics.
