i also read that 55 state troopers from NM and MI who came to assist in the aftermath got together and wrote a letter about how violent NOLA and BR police were. you know it had to be bad for other cops to cross the thin blue line. 55 of them! www.propublica.org/article/in-b...

It wasn’t until I saw the new Katrina Netflix documentary that I even knew that Black people were getting shot just for being black. They weren’t even taking anything.

the doc on disney+ has footage of firefighters gleefully speculating about how quick they will be to shoot anyone they want, and then has some of the most sickening footage i've ever seen of older white ppl giggling, talking about it being "open season" and how they just "shot anything that moved."

That is so messed up it’s really hard not to get mad at seeing stuff like that and heartbroken at the same time

This is what’s so scary about our dictator and the secret police much like Hitler and his police who shot people on the spot with impunity.

US police and their vigilante posses been shooting people on the spot long before Trump came along. Trump is merely the product of sanctioned fascism by the dominant donor class. And as for Hitler, who do you think inspired him but the United States:
