This shit is already getting rug swept on reddit and I get it to a point because you care about the people who get injured or killed, but you have to look at the video.

If he hadn't died, this could've been just another episode of COPS. You struggle, you make it worse. That's how it goes. If you're fucked up enough to struggle and end up on the ground, that's on you. EVEN still, cops are trained to handle you as best they can even if you're drugged out and delirious.

Are there racist cops? Sure. But that's not this. This looks like another policing accident. This movement sprang from this? They're attacking cops but what about free healthcare and college education? That'd be a universal solution that'd elevate everyone out of poverty. What about ending the drug war? That'd halt the stupid amount of arrests over negligible drug charges. Nope. Stop the police it's the police that needs to go. This movement wants to eradicate racism and punish something that protects them 9 times out of 10. Jesus.
