Police Shootings / Possible Abuse Threads [merged]

This is the thing the spokespeople, media and news aren't getting across. It's the root of the problem with policing. It's what we saw with Chauvin, we see it here, we see it in almost all of these 'terrible cop' videos and stories.

It's the attitude these pigs display. Chauvin was literally killing a man with his hands in his pockets, sunglasses pushed up on his head like a Saturday stroll. This-here pig never acts concerned, surprised or even caring at all. He's so freaking callous about it. The driver could be dead, the car might catch on fire, but it ain't no thing to Officer Friendly there.

Remember that scene in Silence of the Lambs where they talk about how Lecter ate this nurse's tongue and his heart rate never went above 65? We have way, way too many cops in this country who're exactly like that.

I have a lot of this feeling also. It seems to me that cops' (government in general really) basic first rule is, "Do whatever I say or face consequences up to me killing you."
I don't feel they are out to protect people and they see the public as adversaries. They are more like an occupying force.

The situation with the riots is similar.

People destroy private property and the cops did basically nothing.
People attack government property, and the police (who are just the force of government) are determined to find everyone involved and punish them to the full extent of their ability.
The people weren't rioting because some business owner did something wrong (even though they got their business looted and burned down), they were rioting because of what government did but quickly realized if they attacked government, there would be actual consequences.
