Defund and Reform the Police

[Sonderbeast]

Warning this video may be disturbing for some folks due to violence. Consider it NSFW for those reasons.

According to the post the reason the police were called was because he was sleeping in his car. The officer has since resigned thank god, if only due to the fact that he was required to wear a video camera.

This is a dynamic video in that it highlights several societal illnesses in the US.

Criminalization of poverty/homelessness
Criminalization (or stigma) of mental illness
Lack of training and procedure by Law Enforcement
Law Enforcement encroaching on personal rights and freedoms
Undue Escalation of force by Law Enforcement
The fact that this only matters because the victim was white

All year we've seen more and more of this same type of violence from the Police. And that's just because the coverage has grown due to Floyd. This has been happening our entire lives, and the only reason any accountability has come from this was due to Police being required to wear a fucking video device. Wake up.
