When did it become the police against the American people?

We are assembling for peaceful protests and the police are bringin’ the violence.

And none of them are helping a man bleeding out of his ears and they stop people from going to help him? This is sick AF.
UPDATE: Thankfully the man who was brutally victimized by police in this video is apparently in stable condition.

@andrewcuomo what is being done about these police officers?

NY AG says they are aware of the video...but what’s being done about it?

Here's my dream👇
If I had the funds I'd set up a coalition
Lets call it the "Martin Luther King Coalition"
An Independent Task Force. Citizens from the community, IT folks, investigators & Lawyers, lots of lawyers
Here's what we'd do...
We'd call for videos of violent protestors
We'd set up a site asking people to upload any videos of protestors who were agitators or suspected White Supremacists. We'd do our best to identify & investigate these protestors. If any are found to be connected to White Supremacist groups we'd pursue hate crime charges.
Don't rely on the Police or the Govt
let's do it independently
Bring the info to the State AG's and/or bring civil suits
Notify their employers
Let their communities know there's a White Supremacist in their midst
Reveal & charge as many of these Nazis as possible

Thats my dream

You tweeted a baseless claim blaming violence on the Far Left? No mention of Far Right despite arrests of folks w/ White Supremacist groups. By blaming the ‘left’ you fan the flames & stoke violence

Before pointing to Russian interference, which IS happening, look to yourself.
@marcorubio blamed the far left & foreign entities for violence at protests. He finger points to divert blame from his own party & Trump, who incites the violence & dog whistles.

If GOP say to Trump ‘we don’t support you anymore’ & call for his removal we’d be able to fix this.
@marcorubio ignores the fact that he holds the power to do something today but he refuses to go against Mitch and Trump.

Imagine if enough GOP Congressional Reps/Senators banded together w/ Dems to announce the establishment of an Independent body tasked w/ cleaning up policing?
