Trump Effect: 2 Police Officers beat Latino man to a pulp for wearing military T-shirt

Many like to treat police officers as if they are any more than the reflection of their communities. In doing so, they give them a pass. Cops know that, and whenever checks and balances are absent, it is clear they abuse their power. People of color bear the brunt of their misbehavior. Cases like this evil one more frequent than not go unreported, ignored, or not adjudicated.

It was disgusting watching some members of our military siding with the cops. I guess when you get a taste for boot licking any boot will do.
