I feel like I want to cry - Rest in Peace Eric Garner

I just saw this from policeone.com on Twitter

You have to be kidding me. And there is no such thing as racism. How about calling all black people thugs??

People are sick and tired of thugs. Certain people better wake the hell up and stop supporting the thugs. 2 years 1 month before the head thug gets thrown out and hopefully a real POTUS gets elected.


I'm sick to death.

in charge of "public safety" have absolutely zero regard for human life?

If a cop did it, it's all good, no matter what they do. I have never known any profession where other people in the same field CHEER ON the criminal activity of others in their field.

It's like many cops are into complete and total anarchy. They don't have to follow even our highest law of the land.

It's very sad to see so many cops cheer on the deaths of people as if human life has no value to them at all.

It's a very sad day in the nation, and I don't know what will change it.

Yeah, it's happening here.

apparently want trained killers as policemen. Especially ones who can choke a man to death with no thoughts to the moral crime he has just committed. Living in a society where the president can order the deaths of innocent people seems to help law enforcement personnel believe that they, too, can order the deaths of innocent people.

When does the revolution start?
