Thanks for sharing this! "Even though police like to think they are above the rest of us, they are still working class citizens, and their family and friends are still victims of the policies that lawmakers enact, and police enforce"

While not all of them think they are "above" us, unfortunately most of them do. As more light is shed on police brutality and its overarching military-industrial complex structure, we need to rethink what policing actually does, and should do.

Police should do everything in their power to make their communities involved, safer, and trustworthy. Not militarizing them and the communities that suffer, don't lower socioeconomic citizens suffer enough? It's time to end small criminal offenses. The only question should be whether or not a person is a direct threat to society. Last time I checked, that doesn't involve low-crime busts like simple marijuana possession and shooting on site.

Steem on!
