LAPD shot a protester in the head with rubber bullets and refused to call an ambulance for her as she lay there bleeding and concussed; another protester was trampled and concussed by mounted police; countless other protestors were beat over the head savagely with batons... and this is only what was on video.

California should pass a ballot initiative making it legal for any random person to shoot police with less lethal munitions whenever they want. You should just be able to walk up to any cop, any time you want, and shoot them with a rubber bullet. If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander.

NYpd and lapd are probably the most corrupt out there. LAPD has actual gang affiliations, some with white supremcesists.

Rage against the machine lyrics are factually based.

Lots of police departments started as slaver patrols, Union busters, and right wing militia.

Portland's police, for example, were originally a KKK militia.

Great time to also mention that Oregon was founded as a white supremacist state.

same protester that got trampled and concussed was the one shot in the head.
