    I don’t think you can leave the national guard completely out of the “police” equation, given that they’re partially controlled by state governments and partially funded by state budgets, and can and have been directed to subdue lawful protests in the interest of protecting capital and the ruling class against the masses. In fact that’s a lot of what they’ve done since the Industrial Revolution.

    I fully acknowledge that as a former full time and current part time member of the DoD, I am a bit of a hypocrite on this point.

    Reddit user explains how pro-police propaganda is used

    astroturfing account in the wake of police brutality news



    A prosecutor candidate's AMA on r/IAmA about his plan to "hold police accountable for abuses" and systemic reforms gets the brigade of r/ProtectAndServe, the "law enforcement professionals of Reddit" subreddit



    Police departments even employ full-time employees to brigade Reddit and push "local crime" talking points about the Democratic cities they hate and don't live in and videos of cute police dogs

    dogswithjobs has a moderator who brags about posting police propaganda:

    On one post of a kissing police dog titled "Police dog do a kith" one of his comments about police brutality commenters on his posts: "This is actually a bait post so we can more effectively deal with them in the future.

    "Bad cops circulate in local departments all the time, this guy had to leave the state to find further employment as a cop."

    There are so many red flags with these officers it's hard to say this is the biggest one

    These inflated high costs are also a common problem with law enforcement in America:

    "Arrests at End of Shifts to Rake In Overtime Pay"

    https://slate.com/news-and-politics...ars-for-dollars-arrests-for-overtime-pay.html

    "374 cops working for Seattle make more than 200k a year, and median pay was 153k a year."

    https://www.seattletimes.com/seattl...ees-made-at-least-200000-last-year-heres-how/

    So much misconduct it costs $2M to store all the records.

    Meanwhile the city has paid out $500 million in police misconduct lawsuits over the past 10 years.



    All of NYPD's worst misconduct officers are paid about $200,000 a year with substantiated serial abuse records



    NYC has shelled out $384M in 5 years to settle NYPD suits

    https://nypost.com/2018/09/04/nyc-has-shelled-out-384m-in-5-years-to-settle-nypd-suits/

    His officers burned a dog alive for no reason, then laughed as the dog’s owners cried.

    He staged a fake assassination attempt against himself, costing taxpayers more than $1 million.

    10,000 family dogs are killed by police every year (the Department of Justice also called it an "epidemic," "officers discussing who will kill the dogs before they even arrive at the house")



    Civil Asset Forfeiture: Police Abuse It All the Time

    https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/06/civil-asset-forfeiture-police-abuse-clarence-thomas/

    they've admitted to stealing as much or more than burglars through "asset forfeiture," and the rate of their thefts has been climbing yearly.

    Jeff Sessions Wants Cops to Steal More Money from Americans: "Since 2007, the DEA Alone Has Taken More than $3 billion in Cash from People Not Charged with Any Crime"

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ice-to-take-more-cash-from-american-citizens/

    Judge Calls NYPD's Handling Of Civil Forfeiture Database 'Insane’. NYPD ransacks man’s home and confiscates $4800 on charges that are eventually dropped a year later. When he tries to retrieve his money, he is told it is too late; it has been deposited into the NYPD pension fund.

    http://gothamist.com/2017/10/19/nypd_civil_forfeiture_database.php

    "It is truly heartbreaking to see such a powerful unit dissolve"

    The NYC enforcement unit that is supposed to crack down on discrimination against people with rental assistance vouchers now has zero employees

    So we DO defund some law enforcement agencies, to little or no objection.



    Five Police Captains are to take salaries of 450k EACH in town with population of 50k and a budget deficit of 5 mil

    https://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2018/06/police_captain_pay_numbers_are.html

    from 2014 through 2019, the Chauvins underreported their joint income by $464,433 That's on top of his salary, and only $66,472 of that is from his wife's business. They own two homes and he also got caught not paying tax on a $100,000 BMW. How does a cop make this much money?



    Daniel Shaver's killer was temporarily rehired by Mesa PD so that he can receive a $30,000 pension ($2500 monthly).



    Woman who gave birth alone in cell, who was forced to cut the umbilical cord with her teeth, secures $200k settlement. County claims no wrongdoing.



    brutally slams complying mentally handicapped woman to the ground after accusing her of stealing hair ties she had receipt for. Family says they'll drop lawsuit if police apologize. Police instead decide to pay $125,000 settlement instead of simply apologizing.

    http://www.wxyz.com/news/region/way...-but-says-livonia-police-refused-to-apologize

    police used a military style helicopter to seize a single marijuana plant from an 81 year old woman using it to ease her arthritis and glaucoma. http://www.gazettenet.com/MarijuanaRaid-HG-100116-5074664



    Epidemic One-third of all Americans killed by strangers are killed by police.



    Police solve just 2% of all major crimes

    https://theconversation.com/police-solve-just-2-of-all-major-crimes-143878

    This is a much bigger problem in America than we realize because Republicans use conservative culture wars "guns and gays" politics and "control the narrative" tactics, the police department control of local news dependent for access, the camera footage evidence (getting caught deleting camera footage again or releasing after 3 years or released immediately if it helps police), the "law and order" politicians, the arrests ("black and white Americans use cannabis at similar levels" but black Americans are 800% more likely to get punished for it and even after legalization), the statistics themselves (how the police stop better crime statistics "FBI may shut down police use-of-force database due to lack of police participation or how they block their own domestic violence research showing "400% higher in the law-enforcement community")

    A random civilian wrestled an assault rifle away from a man without killing him but trained officers can't refrain from killing a man with no legs that's waddling away from them bc he had a knife. Blue Lives though, right?

    these 2 paragraphs pretty neatly summarize how much of a total fucking joke this shit is, and why actual legit violent crimes that happen on a daily basis in this city never actually get fucking solved. Because the entire force is cashing city checks and working second jobs sexually abusing the cashiers at Whole Foods

    This really makes me mad, probably because I live in the Atlanta metro, but I feel like most media members covering this really gave cops the benefit of the doubt that they were fired upon by the protester.

    Of course they did because the media is complicit in keeping the status quo. No matter how much blood is spilled to do so they’re as much the enemy as the cops

    This was a really great read. It's disgusting that it's so easy to become a coroner. You'd think the person who is required to oversee the body and order autopsies would have to have some kind of medical background. This is all it takes here in GA
