Every day in this country, citizens are under attack from LEO’s across the country. Police have never acted as nor wanted to be seen as guardians of low income/POC neighborhoods.
As we ponder things like defunding the police, thinking about who in our society is best suited to handle issues that do not require a potential for gunplay, or tazers. As you click through some of this (should you choose to see what’s happening in our country to our own citizens), just remember:
Defunding the police does not mean abolishing (God I wish), it simply means we stop making sure a civilian protection agency stops arming itself like citizens are insurgents in an occupied country.
Two links below are both dedicated to acting as almost a storage depot for images and stories of this truth. Nothing is more powerful than simply watching cops be cops without the sheen of an ABC Family show depicting Good Christian People fighting the good fight.
These bystanders recorded police brutality. Here’s what they say about the experience.

PS: Bonus clip: Here are cops pleading with a dangerous mob to please please please move back oh pleeeease.
