I’m so mad about the Buffalo video, when I had only seen the first one, from the other side of the street. The one from right by him is worse and shows even more indifference from many of the officers. How did they not stop, immediately, to address the injury that they caused?
Policing in America is broken, and officers keep proving it to us, nationwide, with an unfathomable wave of violence. Any officers who did not stop to help in Buffalo tonight should not be officers. If you cannot “protect,” you should not “serve.”
And let’s be clear: Policing is broken, but Donald Trump is exploiting its brokenness and encouraging all of this horror — from the Central Park Five to the campaign to the 2017 speech where he encouraged law enforcement to rough up people who have been arrested to this week.
