Are we a civilization? Or do people just do what they want, with the rich being able to do a lot more of what they want?

BROOKLYN — Two NYPD officers are under criminal investigation after punching and bashing a 16-year-old suspect in the face with a gun despite the teen raising his hands to surrender, according to a video obtained by DNAinfo New York.

The surveillance footage obtained exclusively by “On The Inside" shows the two officers catch up to marijuana suspect Kahreem Tribble after a brief chase in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

As the teen stops running, one officer throws a punch at his face. Then, as the suspect raises his hands, the other officer clocks him with his gun.

Tribble was arrested for possessing 17 small bags of marijuana and disorderly conduct on Aug. 29. At his arraignment, he pleaded guilty to a violation and was released with cracked teeth and bruises.

if enough protesters show up.

falls on deaf ears at local police stations. This crap will go on every day unless we do something about it, and it will get worse and worse.

If you were born after 2005, you are now considered the Homeland generation

We are too afraid and dimwitted to accept that 911 was an inside job. Many people even here can't accept the effort it would take to reorganize their entire belief systems.

They banned any comment or editorial that suggested a conspiracy. Now why is that? No is forcing anyone to believe it. Why ban just the expression of an idea?

ever heard of the dungeon?

Suppressing ideas is the act of totalitarian regimes.

Another was their requirement of a third-party hook-up in order to post. No champions of free speech over there. If there are, they don't have much of a say in policy.

Which gives them a blank check to conspire cause no one can call them on it.
And we play along with it...

We can't live our lives based on fear or worries about appearance. Let the words ride on their own merit. No one had to believe anything but not letting it be discussed just proves there must be some merit there.

were not as teachable as the middle class.

replace it,as described in the post, they pit the have nots against one another. It is amusing to them. Deadly for the rest of us.

MOST of the time any kind of infraction ends up in PAID TIME OFF.

And you rarely ever see a cop investigated for an actual crime, let alone serving any jail time.

cops get away with all sorts of shit. Yesterday I was in Portland at an accident scene, 17 year African American asked a cop a question and cop was nastier than shit to him in his response. The teenager walked away and yelled "fuck the police" Sure enough about 10 minutes later the teenager was at a bus stop and three cops come up to him and surround him threateningly and give him a lecture about respecting the police. Bullshit on that. You could just tell they were looking for just one little flinch or reach of that young man to nail him. This is just one very small example have of the nation hates the fucking police. The bigger example is that the fucking cops get away with literal murder. "He made a sudden move" or "officers feared for their safety" is a euphemism for "we felt like killing him because we could!"

NOT.

We're not that America anymore. I miss it so much.

The bigotry and hate were always there we just didn't see it like we do now. Everyone with a cellphone camera and internet access has become a reporter of the news as it really is. The truth can be ignored but when you ignore something you still know it's there.

To do anything about the police state we have become. Time and time again these cops are caught on camera violating someone's civil rights. Fewer and fewer are even disciplined, never mind prosecuted.

Great memes! K&R!

Thanks for this and related posts, MrScorpio.

and it's been that way in various forms for a very, very, very long time.

Thank you, MrScorpio.

Wake up, people.

I hate this propaganda monopoly we're stuck in.
