#BigJoel #YouTube video of excerpts from the report on the 'misdemeanors' of the #Minneapolis PD.
But the MPD are just the tip of the iceberg (if we discount the LAPD and Rodney King 30 years ago... and many others).
What they do is a feature of the #police - not a bug. You either go in because you want the power over others, or you become like that over time.

You cannot 'reform' this.
Because this is what #police the world over are there to do and be. A part of this hierarchical system built for the rest of us, so those who built it are protected and shielded by the state's sanctioned arm of violence.
One day - after the revolution - the citizens will be the ones policing the police. And they won't be laughing like they are now so confidently then.
