LAPD when they think no one's looking

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

Add animal cruelty to the police brutality charge. Horses wouldn’t knowingly step on people like that, those horses had to be forced to do that, you can see both officers kicking their horses to do this. Animals have more heart than humans.

live, from people who live there showing so much more than the news would dare show. It's such an upside-down world and yet it makes so much sense when you see the psychosis that's permeated this society. It's sick to watch what's happening, but it's sicker to see the media and outsider public all wrapped up in flags and violence, seeing none of the violence ICE is using purposely to inflame the tension The same clip is shown over and over and our new collective reality is formed against 'we the people' in whatever state we don't live in.

…in a man’s thigh and was difficult to locate and remove at the hospital. The other was a young woman, and I don’t know what became of her after she went down, but the film showed one of the men in dark uniforms with rifles take aim, take aim again, and very deliberately shoot her.

You should probably be contacting various news agencies with your links and asking them what they are choosing to report. Viewer comments do have an effect, especially if multiple folks phone or email.

don't own a television but can tell the gist of what is being broadcast by how people are reacting. Apparently, the big news was lots of foreign flags and protester violence. Needless to say, not what I've been seeing and reading. It's been about 15 years since I had all the media numbers and email addy's and wrote the ltte's. Still subscribe to some print media, and online sources, but I hate being lied to and hate more repeating those lies.

Did you know that those mofos have no responsibility to protect citizens. NONE!! They were first formed to protect the rich before we had credit cards and everyone had to use cash. If I need help, I am calling the fire department. Cops are dicks.

10. As the Saying Goes, "Never Trust a Policeman"

For every five (if you can find 'em) who live by a code of service and upholding of equality under the law, there are probably at least twenty who are so pitifully desperate to have any sort of power at all, and, dear God, here comes a bit of power over people!

As is made horribly clear in Grisham's book "Framed," if you are ever in a position to be questioned by the cops, never, never concede your Miranda rights or agree to a lie-detector test.

From what I can tell police "guilds" and such are basically the same thugs from a century ago, without the white hoods, and using lying and bullying to substitute long prison sentences and the needle for their former favorite noose (still available and handy for intimidation purposes).

Fucking Pigs! And that is NOT pride, integrity and guts.
LAPD LASD FBI ICE We are being invaded by the alphabet.
Do not be surprised if this turns into a shooting war with the troops getting their asses kicked.
Our city!
Prepare for the internet and cell service to be cut.
Eliminate command, control and communications.
Then when the power is cut they invade.

All this against civilians.
I will never again do the pledge of allegiance to a dictatorship and will mute the anthem every chance.

The world should sanction America to the fullest!

14. What they did was for pain and punishment not restraint.

Take every LAPD officer off of their horse. That's serves as a punishment and a warning. Riding those horses in the course of your duty is a privilege. So those few officers are to blame for all officers losing the privilege.

I understand the horses are for crowd control but if you want this to escalate then go ahead and continue down this path. You idiot cops won't be charged in Federal Court. It will be State charges. You will do the time, very hard time. Your buddy's won't be there to protect your cowardly asses. But mine will be there to punish you.
So, stop and think. Is it worth it?
