1.Possible,not likely 2.No,but it is an occupational risk that comes with being in a profession that brutalizes minorities and even white people.
Tell me at what point in this video that guns become a factor. You are so desperate to deflect and deviate from what I have posted.
In the old days citizens and police would have chased this thug down and beaten him within a inch of his life. Guess the old days are gone.
You have the House, the Senate, and The Presidency. Defund, Abolish, Reform. Take your pick, knock yourselves out. We all know Biden is not going to do a damn thing. We also know that the majority of Policing problems in America happen in Democrat controlled places (they won't do a damn thing either).
With the filibuster and 2 republicans parading as democrats we don't really have The Senate.Its is true that democrat mayors and city councils are scared of fights against the police but many republican made state laws protect cops when they do wrong.
The tension between the police and the public is because of the aggressive tactics police are trained to use because they are trained to expect a gun in their encounters.
This happened in NYC. So a cop gets hit in the head with a stick because of "rising tensions" based on aggressive police training tactics. Aside from the attacker trying to win a Darwin Award, could you email these insights to De Blasio and other Democrat mayors and ask for them to stop funding this type of police training? Chicago, NYC, Portland, Minneapolis, Baltimore...Republicans have no say in these places. If the police are receiving bad training then take responsibility for it. You people are in the professional excuses business. It is pathetic.
See you’re too simple minded. We can’t stop this type of police training with all of the gun availability. You’re thinking like ultra liberal democrats now just you’re on the other end of the spectrum. You and Ilan Ohmer have more in common than you realize. Sure in THOSE states but Republicans have full say in the states with the highest gun violence.
You are so hung up on guns. Your obsession and naiveté is childlike. As if violence begins and ends with guns. As if humans have no agency or self control around guns. If only criminals and cops didn't have guns, there would be no violence.
You are too simpled minded if you believe a lack of guns or police training will stop racist police. Rodney King (one of the most historical incidents of police brutality) happened with batons in a Democrat run city. Rodney King was beaten by racist police. You are so simple minded to believe that a lack of guns would have stopped this behavior. Racism existed before guns and it will exist without guns. Your fixation on guns as it relates to police brutality, racism, and crime is extremely myopic.
