Cops Gone Bad 22.05.2021

This is a small compilations of stories where cops have gone bad. They stopped the wrong victims for crimes that they did not even commit. Being Black in America is illegal.

Justified Use Of Police Force 22.04.2021

There are situations where the use of deadly police force is justified. In a recent case in Ohio a teen was attempting to stab another with a knife clearly in her hand making a thrusting movement to stab another is clearly a justifiable use of force.

Police Beat Police 30.03.2021

Racism exist in the system of Justice in America especially when the victim is black and the offending officers are white with an all white jury deciding the case. This is a case where an uncover black officer of the same police department, gets beaten by white officers of the same department. White Supremacy reigns and justice turned into injustice. The only relief the officer got was a 5 million...

Got Police Brutality 26.03.2021

Those who are sworn to protect us are turning into bunch of legal thugs brutalizing those that they are sworn to protect. We need reform today for the sake of civility.

UnJustified Use Of Police Force 25.08.2020

The Killing of George Floyd clearly has not resonated among police departments in the US with just another shooting of an unarmed black man in Kenosha Wisconsin seven times in his back. There is no way in hell the shooting is justified. Following someone with a gun out on them while unarmed, does not follow basic police protocol. the officer in question should be arrested and fired. Become a suppo...
