What’s kinda weird about this whole “police brutality” thing is when you remove the BLM aspect, I agree with them. Police can, and often are, bullies, but with all races. And it does need to come to a stop. I’m very much on board with the end of no knock raids Rand Paul is championing. And let’s be frank. The main reason for them is the war on drugs, which is really just an excuse to “get” people, usually in bad neighborhoods.

It reminds me of the retired couple pulled over by a state policeman on a “Popular drug trafficer” highway because the tint on their window was too dark according to his meter. But it was a factory tint. :)

It didn’t stop the cops from searching their car for hours. And in such a situation, you just pray the cops don’t plant drugs.

The police have not been our friend ever since they made 55 the federal speed limit. But that’s just me.

But the bottom line is that when you remove the racial component, these people have a valid point.
