I know this is happening all across the country but this video really brings home the rampant abuse by those men in blue, whose job is to protect and to serve.

Want to see a change in our racist culture? Convince the very best high school athletes of color NOT to accept a scholarship from any university inside one of the BOZO states. If you know anything about rednecks and how they love their college sports teams you know what I'm talking about. I understand its simplistic and not based upon some peer reviewed study, but I was in the high end sports memorabilia business for more than a decade and broached this to many professional athletes of color and not one disagreed with me - NOT ONE. I just couldnt convince one to go public and air the message.

I find it to be denigrating and a slur against people in the south.

at any point, to try to protect themselves and their loved ones from police aggression?

Or are they really required to just take whatever the police dish out, humbly and obediently, without complaint or attempt at self-defense?

When does police aggression become OK to resist?

It's not natural to just accept being pushed around and beat up, when you know you haven't done anything to deserve it. Is it any coincidence that too many cops are wife beaters? Cops beat their wives and girlfriends at double the national rate.
