@pk Another average day in Arizona. Should we sell it back to the Mexicans?

@pk @drewharwell People wonder why Police aren’t trusted. Here’s one example. Thank goodness that lady was there to record the contact as it could’ve ended worse than it did.

Still under investigation but it looks like nothing is changing. https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/doj-investigation-of-phoenix-pd-hits-1-year-mark
DOJ investigation of Phoenix PD hits 1-year mark

After a year of the Department of Justice's pattern or practice investigation, the Phoenix Police Department is getting new leadership, but the probe shows no signs of wrapping up.

@oldmeanroy @pk @drewharwell There’s no doubt that being a Police Officer is dangerous work, but, it’s like the Wild West, with the lack of oversight and accountability for bad actors. And maybe we should stop outfitting police departments like they’re going to war so they stop acting like we are enemy combatants to be destroyed. And let’s reform the Police Unions and their corruption/corrupt behavior while we’re at it.

@pk There had to be more to this, than purely interviewing of people. Maybe some background info that th3 video doesn't include or refer to?
