You know what? We don't want American's killed by police

Know something else, no one wants to see police being abused or killed either! So why do police unions continue to do harm, not only our citizens but, to their members, by their support of sadistic police? Don't the police want accountability? If not, why? Accountability promotes trust.

Police have been required to wear body cameras. Why? Because they have been abusing the power that we the citizens give to them. We see what they do, how they protect the worst among their ranks. We have common sense and believe our own eyes, so does the soul true of American. My belief is that these powerful police unions (mostly male, white men) don't want to give up any toys, military equipment. They continue insist on male, white privilege, putting pure corrupt policing (racism) on display ... trump barfs out that has their backs.

This challenge to dismantle the powerful, militarized police, is going to be as big as a lift as racial integration in our schools during the 1960's and 1970's. Everyone, grab and lift.
