NYPD FOP Proved The Point That Reform Must Happen Now…

America’s Police depart­ments con­firmed over the last sev­er­al weeks what black and brown Americans have been say­ing. That they are une­d­u­cat­ed, bru­tal thugs who are social­ized to act aggres­sive­ly by beat­ing, abus­ing, and even mur­der­ing inno­cent black and brown cit­i­zens.
Yesterday the Fraternal Order of Police in New York trot­ted out to begin its push against demon­stra­tions who take to the streets to reg­is­ter their dis­gust at their bru­tal & thug­gish aggres­sion.|
As per usu­al their ven­om was direct­ed at the politi­cians in the city coun­cil who have start­ed to grow some balls by stand­ing with the cit­i­zens.
The new ene­my is the press, they berat­ed the press for what they char­ac­ter­ized as attempts to shame them for being police offi­cers.
I thought that was par­tic­u­lar­ly rich con­sid­er­ing that the press duti­ful­ly wor­ships police in America.
Why would they feel shame at being a police offi­cer if they were act­ing as offi­cers are sup­posed to act?
If shin­ing a light on their crim­i­nal­i­ty is sham­ing them then the press is final­ly wak­ing up to the fact that many police depart­ments are cesspools of racism and white suprema­cy. The NYPD is no dif­fer­ent.



The spine­less politi­cians are now being forced to act by remov­ing some of the insu­la­tion that is cre­at­ing and nur­tur­ing the vul­gar bru­tal­i­ty they com­mit against vul­ner­a­ble cit­i­zens, and that angers them.
Once again the NYPD demon­strat­ed what most black and brown and even some whites will admit, that these pub­lic ser­vants are vast­ly out of con­trol and for all intents and pur­pos­es, are a bunch of crim­i­nal thugs.
Here is the press con­fer­ence they gave. Of course, they get to demon­strate their views with­out any­one bru­tal­iz­ing them, no one tear­gassed them, no one used rub­ber bul­lets or pep­per spray on them, no one ran them over with SUVs.
Here is the group of NYPD Union thugs draw­ing atten­tion to their cause in response to the weeks of mas­sive demon­stra­tions.
But where exact­ly have we heard this kind of attack on the press before?

Here is my response to their unmit­i­gat­ed tone-deaf arrogance.
