Incentivizing Abusive Policing

another video exposing gross misdeeds of loveland colorado cops. in this case, they were incentivized to make false arrests by federal programs which dish out money to police departments contingent upon their arrest numbers being high enough. as is pointed out, as usual, the officers involved never face any consequences for their misconduct. their bosses defend them.

i read somewhere that an overwhelming majority of police, something like 90%, lean republican/conservative. they generally act like typical 'conservatives' who live by 'alternative facts' and don't have any ethics beyond myopic self interest. only in dystopia!

Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid (Of American Police)

even though i've posted videos similar to this here very recently, i just keep coming across more and more unbelievable examples of how american police are far more dangerous, corrupt, and violent than any criminal gang. more sadistic, stupid, entitled, and protected from accountability for their own brutality and criminality when dealing with the public they purportedly 'serve and protect'. it's also an extremely sad commentary on the abject stupidity of the american sheeple that they don't en masse object to this state of affairs and demand radical reform. instead, thanks in no small part to a very biased and corrupt corporate media which is constantly pushing the mostly erroneous idea that crime is rampant and out of control and that police officers are these great selfless heroes who are worthy of our utmost trust and respect. it's absolutely sickening!
this video details 4 separate incidents over about a one year period in a relatively safe (except when police get involved!) and crime free american community wherein police officers in mostly routine encounters almost instantaneously resort to brutal or deadly violence. after watching enough of these and thanks to a few unpleasant encounters with police i've personally experienced, i must admit that i'm far more afraid of american police than i am of criminals who aren't police. it's hard to imagine any occupation that employs more violent, dangerous, and sadistic individuals. i doubt very much if any decent intelligent compassionate person could fit into american police culture, or be hired as an officer.
finally, at the end of this video i love the point taya graham makes regarding how american police routinely turn the idea of 'presumption of innocence' on it's head, and immediately treat much if not most of the public they are called on to deal with as though they are criminals, even those who shouldn't even be considered as criminal suspects, like the 'good samaritan' here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S593uFOWNPY
