The following is a full video recording of a police-citizen interaction in Miami Dade, Florida, that should outrage even the most ardent cop-apologist and create renewed calls for revamping American policing practices as they exist.
But it won’t!
It won’t because the love affair with Rambo-style policing and the attendant abuse that goes with it is far too entrenched in people’s minds. They actually believe whatever the cops do is somehow right.
In the immediate video, you will see a compressed version presented to the public by the lame-stream media that gives a completely different impression from what actually occurred in the full video version, which will be in the linked article supplied below the video.
Inside the full video, you will see a completely different version of what really occurred. This encounter deserves no investigation. It deserves immediate termination of this tyrant.
You be the judge; how in God’s name can this be acceptable in a country that projects itself as a leader on the world stage?
These are the things cops are doing under the color of law, and they are getting away with it.
The standard nonsense that usually follows these events is that they conduct their investigations and will make the results known as soon as they are concluded.
In other words, we are investigating ourselves and will let you know what we decide.
Weeks, months, or years later, after public anger has dissipated, they will release a report that they found no wrongdoing in the officer’s actions.
But it isn’t that they get to investigate themselves; the badged criminals are sent on paid vacation at taxpayers’ expense while these sham and charade investigations are alleged to be undertaken.
It is not hyperbolic to say that, in many cases, entire police departments are little more than criminal organizations that are in need of Federal intervention.
Even when the Department of Justice intervenes, those pseudo-criminal enterprises continue to operate in nearly the same ways they operated that warranted intervention in the first place.
