@Adam_Cadmon1 It is very much normal in 2024. It’s how they’re trained and both major political parties approve of it and fall all over themselves cutting useful things from city, state, and federal budgets to fund more of it. This is what people choose to pay for when they vote for politicians whose platforms are all “tough on crime” and “support our police”. Our police are a brutal occupying force by design and intent who commit much more violence than they ever prevent.

Adam F. Lawton (adam_cadmon1@mastodon.online)'s status on Tuesday, 30-Apr-2024 01:45:03 JST Adam F. Lawton Someone else pointed it out but ya'll...it's not normal for cops to slam people to the ground and put knees on necks in the course of making a routine arrest.
Please pay attention. They are brutal by choice, not necessity. But also, notice who they brutalize and who they respect. Smh.
