I’m not saying most or all cops are bad but there sure seem to be a lot of them. They know they’re being filmed and they still do terrible things.
Now you’ve seen that America’s police are:

▪️brutal, cruel, barbarians
▪️liars even w/video proof
▪️falsify reports
▪️work w/white nationalists
▪️give a shit abt Rights
And that’s with WHITE folks in broad daylight.
What you think they’ve been doing to us when no ones looking?
I don’t understand why they come out swinging like this. https://t.co/Xn4Rh1g5X3

Perspective: Police are reacting to protests against police violence with more violence https://t.co/uPRPGrDeJk

Well, they wanted a riot, they got a riot. A POLICE RIOT! Oh, to be back in the F.B.I. running a civil rights squad for just one week. I’d keep my agents busy for the next three years. https://t.co/X3TLdN3Eqp

I guess the Erie police were trying to keep up with the Philadelphia police…..https://t.co/cidkz6q8D5

This is just an astonishing video from Philadelphia, which shows police clubbing a nonviolent group of people in a park. https://t.co/MT2Y17ENWF

This video from Philly today is absolutely sickening. They’re literally cracking skulls with clubs. pic.twitter.com/mIRzI2SgXI

Again, Joe Biden saying that only 10-15 of the population are not good people is way lowballing it https://t.co/lNKRGcFkZX
In the past several days, @NYTMetro journalists embedded in protests have reported that officers had charged at demonstrators with seemingly little provocation, shoved them onto sidewalks, struck them with batons and used other aggressive tactics.https://t.co/Az1xAFfnlT

the police aren't just rioting against accountability, they are rejecting the right of the people to hold them accountable outright. https://t.co/4dFFPOdSaO

This one guy is swinging that baton like he's playing baseball. These cops are out of control. https://t.co/rownrDxkUm

So between Philly, Buffalo and DC, we’ve seen some seriously violent reactions by law enforcement against protestors and journalists. All on video, contradicting department press releases.

The folks who cheer on the Durham probe are quiet about this. Shocking, I know.
Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson invited Bernie Kerik on to downplay the idea of systemic racism. Kerik offered some data, but missed the important comparison. https://t.co/i00tcCi7DH pic.twitter.com/2D2u8gCOO7

What a clear example of the wrong thing to do. This is a week for good police across the country to take a stance for justice and fairness, to understand they work for he public, and to renew their oath to serve and protect. Buffalo police officers resign. https://t.co/DKtRCHaGLn

I am working on something similar. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist your effort. This is critically needed to create real change.
