Well... that doesn't look good.

Whoa.
Yeah, that's pretty fucking flagrant.
Wow, really?
Whoa. I've been on the death side of the Internet for a long time but the police brutality videos make me cringe everytime. I do not know how law enforcement manages to get away with this, time after time. In the head.....I mean....he was down. Just wow.
I'm usually an A.C.A.B. kinda guy, but this one doesn't look so cut and dry. The video is sort of obscured, and it doesn't really look like he complied in ANY way. I'll wait for more to come out before passing judgement.
The Walter Scott shooting is the most horrifying of the recent incidents. I don't know how that story got less attention than Freddie Grey and Michael Brown.
Cops think they can execute people for not complying. Like sticking heads on a pike at the city gates. It's a warning.
Execute?
A story needs to be divisive to be sustainable. If most people agree on something, they stop talking. If it's 50/50, they can argue night and day over it. The longer they argue, the longer it's news. The longer it's news, the more ads they can sell, the more ads, the more money. All this draws attention and energy away from OWS and the 1%. Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown are very much the Patron Saints of Wall Street. It's no coincidence this story hit just as HRC, the Guardian of the Banks, was exonerated to lead your focus to a more controversial story.
