you've probably seen the #PhoenixPD video terrorizing a Black family at gunpoint because a small child supposedly took a doll. of course, the police response is to embellish what they were told, as if shoplifting some cheap shit from a discount store warrants SWAT tactics.
the slow-motion militarization of the police over the last five decades hasn't made anybody safer. if u give law enforcement agencies already drunk with power surplus military equipment, they'll manufacture reasons 2 use their new toys & they'll kill some people 4 shits & giggles
#PhoenixPD threatened a pregnant woman holding a newborn w/ death, held her at gunpoint, traumatized her toddler, & demanded she lay the baby on hot asphalt during summer. they did this not because she was a threat, or committed a serious crime, but b/c they get off on it.
