The Fraternal Order of Police Akron Lodge 7 defended Turnure for utilizing a 'minor application of force' that deescalated the situation.

'The officer used a distracting technique of cold snow to shock the resisting suspect out of his criminal resistance,' the Fraternal Order of Police said.

he's got the same job or will have one somewhere else. This treatment of still human beings with alleged offence(s) is truly the Amerikkkan Way for too many people. And with their hate wallowed in by their leader DT like a dog in s***, this hate is really in the open now with no shame attached. It's just the way of white supremacy is. Also, I noticed the African-American policeman helper. Sad it is that none speak up during these one-sided altercations.

Yet I remember how the black south. African police swarmed the 'Homelands' when 2nd and 3rd-class citizens were demanding equality. Beat them and shot them. They made an attempt at reconciliation after apartheid ended officially. Seems to have happened somewhat.

My black brothers and sisters don’t even have a chance against these thugs. We must take the civil rights violations or suffer the consequence which in many cases is getting clapped right on the spot. This won’t stop until these jackbooted thugs are scared of the PEOPLE. Then and only then mutual respect can take place between LE and the PEOPLE.

Black people have been 24% of those killed by police in 2022 despite being only 13% of the population.

There were 12 days in 2022 when police did not kill anyone.

Most killings by police began with traffic stops, mental health checks, disturbances, non-violent offenses and where no crime was alleged.

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultra-nationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition.

I suppose this is why the Dems have that anti-cop stigma attached to them when we post daily a video or two or three showing rouge cops doing disgusting things.
