jeffwNYPD officer caught on video punching pro-Gaza protester during Brooklyn rally
febraIt’s crazy how this makes headlines around the world, yet we’ve had cops behave ten times worse with protesters here in Germany and it never leaves fringe news outlets. Not even one big German news outlet explicitly talks about such cases happening here. It feels like I’m living in a dystopian future.
If it makes you feel any vindication, the fact that this was reported by news outlets here means nothing. This cop will never see punishment beyond a slap on the wrist or some paid administrative leave at best. Police violence has already been institutionalized in America too.
Sadly it doesn’t. I’m here just trying to warn people that things will get a lot worse.
