My wife was plating this on her phone and I seriously thought it was a comedy bit. That fucking guy is a fascist piece of shit.
THE POLICE PROBLEM
The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.
99.9999% of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct is never investigated, never punished, never makes the news, so it's not on this page.
When cops are caught breaking the law, they're investigated by other cops. Details are kept quiet, the officers' names are withheld from public knowledge, and what info is eventually released is only what police choose to release — often nothing at all.
When police are fired — which is all too rare — they leave with 'law enforcement experience' and can easily find work in another police department nearby. It's called "Wandering Cops."
When police testify under oath, they lie so frequently that cops themselves have a joking term for it: "testilying." Yet it's almost unheard of for police to be punished or prosecuted for perjury.
Cops can and do get away with lawlessness, because cops protect other cops. If they don't, they aren't cops for long.
The legal doctrine of "qualified immunity" renders police officers invulnerable to lawsuits for almost anything they do. In practice, getting past 'qualified immunity' is so unlikely, it makes headlines when it happens.
All this is a path to a police state.
In a free society, police must always be under serious and skeptical public oversight, with non-cops and non-cronies in charge, issuing genuine punishment when warranted.
Police who break the law must be prosecuted like anyone else, promptly fired if guilty, and barred from ever working in law-enforcement again.
That's the solution.

I was at a protest earlier to day. We walked down the streets and kept getting followed by dudes revving their engines.
Weirdest shit was the time I was drunk with a cop buddy. With his cop friends. Who were also getting loose lips and telling stories and one of them checked them all and said. I wasn’t a cop. And not to talk about that stuff around me. Still bothers me. I never saw that friend again. But ya. Wild stuff.
what
They were getting a little too real with their stories. Of getting shot at and doing overall terrible vile actions.
Fuck these coward facist pigs, slave catchers, strike breakers, class traitors. Protectors of cancerous capitalist ruling class .
No one in this forum who calls for violence against other people and sometimes for the killing of cops is even a bit better than this brain-dead sheriff. American society is so deeply divided.
Indeed, no hope for America and Americans. This is a civil war that can take decades to heal
Can you imagine tabling this evidence in a civil case against police brutality. It would be a slam dunk if the US police were accountable like in civilised countries. The fact that they can say it out loud is indicative that the US is beyind fucked.
The US has gone from my let's organize an intervention for that fuck up friend list to their fucking poison and will drag the rest of us down with them if we don't keep our distance.
"Police" and "accountable" in the same sentence? In civilized countries it usually takes years and people have to fight the public opinion, politicians' PR machine and hope that they'll find a reasonable judge.

Sound to me like Florida is going to be legislating firearm restrictions later this year.
Cool. Then I expect there to be plenty of bacon 6 feet under. If the police are going to kill Americans for no legal reason. I expect the Americans to do what Americans do and fight back.
Squeeeeel for me boy. Squeeeeeel!
Well, you heard it here. It's perfectly fine to shoot cops with AR-15s if they shoot you with rubber bullets. If they can kill you for tossing a brick, you can kill them for shooting people unprovoked with "less lethal" munitions. Those rubber bullets are just as dangerous as bricks, and the cops are shooting them with impunity. By their own logic, any officer that shoots a rubber bullet at someone deserves to have their head blown off.
So I always though it would be neat if a few drones with laser pointers would orientate their lazers at any cops with particularly egregious records.
You know... Just so people can watch out for them.
This dumb fuck just opened up a world of extra legal fun.
Really hoping someone guns down a nosy PIG abusing their authority and then claims castle doctrine - I mean it’s right there, that dumb pig fuck straight up told you the cops will illegally kill you if you feel like it, and castle doctrine allows you to defend yourself….
in a logical world that would stand to reason, but this is desantisland, where they'll simply drop a bomb on your house or roll an APC through it. any resistance from the people will be curbstomped because they know they have to make examples if they want to remain in control.
edit: aww the downvote from desantisland makes me laugh
The person to try something like that is not likely to have a lot of capital tied up in any kind of permanent residence.
what makes you take that leap of reasoning?
there are plenty of homeowners in FL who fucking despise ronnyboy.
Profoundly stupid for this fool to show his face on camera while openly threatening to kill American citizens.
But he's a Trump supporter, so being profoundly stupid is par for the course.
If things actually did pop off in this country, anyone that has shown their face on camera in opposition to the American people will not be safe.
Dude, they'll be given an amnesty and remain where they are.
What's your stop someone from creating an app of top 10,000 worst people or something similar?
This is why I went from supporting gun control to not supporting it anymore. Cops should absolutely fear armed protesters in all countries.
Yup.
Been for strict gun control all my life. And, in a decent country, I still would be.
But this isn't a decent country. It's a country full of low-IQ fools and fascists and racists, so it's time to get armed and prepare for the worst, which appears to be where we're headed.
All I hear is if you want to attack us make sure you kill us because if you don't we will kill you
Is that the message sheriff donut?
It's like they forget that can happen, or why there's an escalation ladder
Fuck the facist pigs
Nursing is not on the list and is more dangerous.
Remember uvalde and cowardice of heavily armed police
This. Imagine what they'd do when drones start dropping grenades on them.
... I don't think a democratic society can survive if this is the attitude of the law inforcement.
That is a weird understanding of the law. As any elementary school kid (outside the US) knows: Doesn't matter if the suspect stole a chewing gum or killed someone - they need to be stopped and arrested with the least harm possible.
Punishment is done by the courts. Not a police job.
There it is. Law enforcement has openly declared to kill protesters. You now know that you must fight them like your life depends on it, because they have admitted their intent.
This is exactly the behavior your 2nd amendment rights are meant to protect you from. They are ready & excited to kill you. What are you willing to do to stop them?
Damn it's almost like defunding the police was a necessity and not some radical fringe movement.
If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
