Did you notice that cops are too aggressive today?
Damn this is kept pretty quiet cause I live in Mississippi and this is the first I've heard of it. Hope it don't get swept under the rug.
Is this police brutality problem really not systemic?
1. Nope, didn't notice. I was stopped the other day because something was hanging under my truck. I told him I had a concealed carry permit and I had a loaded weapon in the console next me. He said "That's cool. Just wanted to let you know something's dragging under your truck, and you need to check it out." He never once tried to choke me, didn't ask for my gun, and did threaten any violence upon my person. I thanked him and he said to have a nice day. Again...no choking, threats or violence upon my being.
2. Sounds like it's already under the rug.
3. It's not systemic....really! How much personal interaction do you have to be able to suggest it's systemic?
