Boo fucking Hoo. (not you, them) They don't do anything for the common problems, anyway. We need homicide detectives, yes. But for SO many other problems, we do just need Social Workers 2.0.

My brother, (who is doing so much better, now) had a mental health incident that we really could have used some help for. But the cops in that city had just blasted a 13 year old autistic kid in the back for running away, as a kid in crisis will do, like "NO! Don't touch me!". They shot him at least a dozen times. In the back. He lived, but...

ANYway, we could have used a hand, but no fucking way we were calling the cops.

"Ohh, next time call a crackhead, then.." Know what? A crackhead might (or might not, but same same) understand when someone is having a mental crisis. Fuck, I'm ranting. I'm just pissed. Sorry.

They acquitted that piece of shit murderer Phillip Brailsford, in Mesa AZ who murdered that guy crawling on his knees begging for his life, who (I mean Murderer Phillip Brailsford) had "You're Fucked" etched on his rifle. And then rehired him so he could retire with full benefits. (Sorry, was revisiting THAT horrific shitshow yesterday).

But nothing ever happens. Very Rarely. Imagine in the Floyd murder hadn't been so well captured by the public? Nothing would have happened at all.

I'm so furious and heartbroken and disgusted by ALL of these.

This was a super fucked up one. It was just a guy doing literally nothing, nothing serious anyway, and they told him to produce his documents, so he reached for his registration and they just blasted him. It's really hard to tell from this potato ass video, but I remember it, and it was just another one of these situations, probably around 2010 or something. Going from memory, don't crucify.

Anyway, no, it wasn't stolen.. Oh, the guy below me already said this shit.

Isn't this what killed Eric Garner Freddie Gray? Of course I had to google which black man was killed in which fucked up way by police. This shit... and OH MY FUCKING EVERYTHING they're on "paid administr...." Fuck off. (Edit: this fuck off isn't for you, necessarily, it's for everything. But also, are you an apologist for cops murdering black guys?) They should be in prison already.

Anyway, jesus fucking christ, that's heartrending.
