My feet are adorable but it would take hours to clean them from a good maple syrup dousing. Who the hell has the time for that.

Oh I definitely know you don't understand what I'm talking about . . . violence first at all costs. That's ridiculous.
Can you explain how current economic models don't call for it? It seems it would be up to the city officials to determine the hiring practices for their police force. Once enough citizens demand a more educated police force, to prevent shit like this from happening, it seems the city officials would likely implement those practices, granted the higher wages would have to come from higher taxes which populations rarely agree to pay. But people would also pay no taxes if they were given the choice as individuals, despite how much doing so would downgrade their quality of life.
I couldn't agree more, it is truly disgusting. It should matter whether we are male or female, white, black, brown or whatever to feel empathy toward a fellow human being in such a humiliating situation. I wonder if this piece of shit officer will answer for that.My husband tried to show me this last night and I just couldnt watch.
Please try to imagine a world in which the police will actually back up someone who assaults your small child, simply because of the colour of your skin. A place in which you are in danger calling for help from the people who are supposed to protect you. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around how that must feel but I do know it makes me feel sick to my stomach and helpless beyond words.
No more saying "touching kids."Family members may get that "permission" but no way in the world am I saying a neighbor can touch my kid and I'm not touching their kid.

this is what happens when the qualifications to be a police officer are so low.
Ive been saying it for years. Cops should have a mandatory masters in criminology or something similar, perhaps even a law degree, as well as their police academy training.
letting retards with a 2 year criminal justice degree in or worse, only a high school diploma is pretty dumb AF.
increase their wages and make it harder to be a cop. Wont fix everything but I'd feel safer around policemen who I know at least were smart enough to get through more than 4 years of highschool
Shit cop doing a shit job of policing.
Gonna disagree on having a college degree making a person more qualified to do a job. I know plenty of shit firefighters with college educations. PD's need to focus on candidates that have actual people skills.
I don't understand how this will necessarily help with the racism issue, or any other type of discrimination based type of behavior . Seems we could potentially just end up with better educated racist bags of shit with badges. There certainly seem to be enough well educated people in politics who share less than desirable ideologies. I don't believe the level of education in any way reflects the goodness of a person or their ability to be a trustable, honest, compassionate police officer. It's also difficult enough in many areas, especially big cities, to attract people to a difficult profession as it is. Most people with that much education would likely choose more white collar jobs, regardless of pay.this is what happens when the qualifications to be a police officer are so low.

you dont need a college degree to be a fire fighter
Lol, tell that to the idiots studying fire science thinking it means shit on the line. There are PD's not needing college either.
All I'm saying is that a college degree won't make a person a better human being. You either are, or you are not.
or maybe he is just racist.
why the fuck do people always jump around the obvious to justify obvious fuckery by the police?
you don't see a problem with the cops questioning of the mother?
I haven't watched the video and have no opinion on it but I will say this:
People should always jump around the obvious and avoid making a judgement when all they have is a video. People are always in such a rush to judge. Even in the most obvious of cases I try and allow that there might be important things I don't know.
I find people here are far more likely to pass judgement in less than a second than they are to make excuses (which is also wrong).
If you can watch that video and come up with reasons why the mother was at fault you are either racist or an idiot.
Its Texas, is normal
