The police ... are what keep us safe from the brigands and the beasts
How about when the police are the brigands and the beasts?

The failures we identified in our findings – that we heard about from residents and officers alike
The department found that CPD’s pattern or practice of unconstitutional force is largely attributable to deficiencies in its accountability systems and in how it investigates uses of force, responds to allegations of misconduct, trains and supervises officers, and collects and reports data on officer use of force. The department also found that the lack of effective community-oriented policing strategies and insufficient support for officer wellness and safety contributed to the pattern or practice of unconstitutional force.
In addition, the department also identified serious concerns about the prevalence of racially discriminatory conduct by some CPD officers and the degree to which that conduct is tolerated and in some respects caused by deficiencies in CPD’s systems of training, supervision and accountability.
We found that BPD has engaged in a pattern or practice of serious violations of the U.S. Constitution and federal law...The agency also fails to provide officers with the guidance, oversight and resources they need to police safely, constitutionally and effectively.
Ferguson’s law enforcement practices are shaped by the City’s focus on revenue rather
than by public safety needs. This emphasis on revenue has compromised the institutional
character of Ferguson’s police department, contributing to a pattern of unconstitutional policing,
and has also shaped its municipal court, leading to procedures that raise due process concerns
and inflict unnecessary harm on members of the Ferguson community. Further, Ferguson’s
police and municipal court practices both reflect and exacerbate existing racial bias, including
racial stereotypes. Ferguson’s own data establish clear racial disparities that adversely impact
African Americans. The evidence shows that discriminatory intent is part of the reason for these
disparities.
You mean to tell me you believe the justice system gets it right 100% of the time and the protest have no merit? You believe everyone thats being held for months with no trial date is guilty?If you believe that you have your head in the sand. Do you know for sure that kneeling is the only thing that all of the kneeling players are doing to make change? The kneeling doesnt hurt you, so why are YOU so worked up about it?
I don't know about "Marc", but many people are worked up about specifically because it brings attention to illegal activities committed by the police department.
They need to be tattooed first. Make all anthem kneelers wear some type of identifying symbol on their clothing so they are easy to spot. You can't just go straight to deportations and showers.
I doubt they'd where the already identifying symbol signifying it's alright to execute, a Trump hat or shirt. But hey, maybe.
I cant believe that there’s SO many people on CD that are too selfish to do anything for anyone but themselves are STILL complaining about athletes that are trying to do things for other people. As much as they could be doing other things for the cause besides kneeling, they’re doing SOMEthing. The people here complaining aren’t doing anything for anyone. Not informing people where to lodge complaints, not informing anyone of the process, just sitting on the keyboard blowing hot air here where nothing makes a difference.
Oh yes, you mean put targets on the back of cops? That's an admirable thing to some I guess.

Yes, the police get it right 99% of the time. And when they get it wrong there are criminal and civil remedies available. There is nothing to protest. They should be supporting the police, and insisting that the police invade their neighborhoods and vacuum up all the criminals to make it a safer and better world. The more criminals and losers in jail, the better our society for the good people who work hard, make good decisions, and have good lives OF THEIR OWN MAKING.

Nonsense, there is an occasional transgression. But the overwhelming majority of the time, correct arrest and prosecution and imprisonment are taking place. That needs to be supported. And I support it.
