This is all due to the war on drugs and the militarization of our country's police forces. It's fucking insane. Innocent American citizens are dying because of this stupid bullshit and the police departments are covering it up.
i don't know if i follow your logic about the part about this being the result on the war on drugs carne... i do hate the war on drugs, but i don't see how that can be blamed for a call about a drunk man with a gun?? the us police dpt has been militarized long before the war on drugs ever occurred that is for sure, but maybe things have only gotten worse since its inception?
idk, but i really hate the power that the cops in this country have, and of course they all stick up for one another, despite how wrong one or both of them may have been.. and who's side do you think that the courts are going to be on? the cops who create jobs for them, or the "criminals"??
the whole thing does make me sick though, despite the causes.. in this country having a badge and a gun is pretty much a license to do what ever one pleases it appears.
