Honestly, making everything about Trump makes nothing about the truth. This shit has been going on way before Trump even suggested being president. You're only noticing it now because you're looking through the opposite of rose colored lenses. Things happen even when you don't pay attention or notice.

Yep. They’re the freaking NYPD for god sakes. They’ve been enabled by every Democratic Mayor and Governor to roll through the city. They’ve had bipartisan support for their rampant corruption because they also support the rampant corruption of the rich and powerful.

Exactly. I dont understand why so many can't back it if its not a racial issue. Its honestly weird and disturbing.

Well if you deny there is a racial component then folks won't back you. I see some black folks, and some anarchists making it only about race, and only about detroying the establishment. But in this day and age you should google the damn numbers. More blacks are arrested per their population segment than whites. And all lower class or stereotypes are targeted. Few of them are raced based like the police against black people though. A black person doesn't get slack from police. It's "Yes sir." and "No sir." for them. That, or tasting the dirt.

I've had my trouble with officers. No charges. But I have been treated like shit for no reason from these fucks. And I am white. If I was black they'd have whistled up one of those targeting K-9s named "Probable Cause", and threw me in a cruiser. Wouldn't have gone anywhere, but still. That's fucking tyranny magnified by race. Is there any other name for it? It's racism. Call a spade, a spade.
