OMG

SandersKennedy_ Ask why it takes 3 officers to cuff and control ONE MAN? There is no reason to put a knee on the neck or illegal force, however, STOP RESISTING ARREST. How hard is it to put your hands behind your back? Your going to jail on way or the other...the hard way or the easy way.

That's not his neck though.

SandersKennedy_ show us something we haven't seen happen in this country!

Hey there Reaproy , you said that hrw has plenty of people working on racism and rights abuses in the US. Any progress dude? It seems like its getting worse dont you think? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

What became of tasers? Police need SOME WAY to restrain people who are OUT OF CONTROL, causing a riot or trying to hurt others. How would YOU have them stopped? Think about it, what if they are after YOU! Without police, who will YOU call if your life is threatened?

If the US Congress can write a bill making it unlawful to criticize the apartheid state if Israel, why can it bit make it illegal for cops to kneel on a citizen's neck, or shoot or kill them when they unarmed? Remember, Rump reminded us everyone is innocent till proven guilty?

BF did a bad edit because it shows the cops hand near his head and his pants leg on the ground. Nice fucking try, U fishwarp org.

Quibi video startup explained: Marketing, revenue, shows, advertising - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Quibi has a ten part Princess Bride Home Movie that is worth the price of admission. yup we need 1.7B for a video startup, but we should rely on charities, gov funding, etc for a damn covid vaccine. I am not sure what world we are living in! but you don't mention another short-form video startup, that has raised less than 0.1% of what Quibi raised and doesn't have subscriptions or ads.

Detroit police release video of man firing at cops before officers fatally shoot himNewly released body and dash-camera footage by Detroit police in a deadly officer-involved shooting shows the suspect fired at police first before officers fatally shot him. Anyone shooting at police can’t expect to get away with it and not have police shoot back. I didn’t even watch video so don’t know the race or gender of suspect but that’s just common sense. If you shoot a police it probably won’t end well. Can't believe they shot him in the back just because he was fleeing. The threat was already resolved he stopped firing and started to run and was gunned down for it. Detroit done messed up BLM is on their way. Shoot at police. Plan for them to shoot back.
