Police officers around the USA speak about Minneapolis LEO's that led to the death of George Floyd

https://www.youtube.cyodm/watch?v=fTmrAsHTCTk


LEO's from all over the USA are DISGUSTED with what these idiotic, evil MURDERERS did to George Floyd & have finally figured out that staying silent is tacit approval to these "fine folks", though it's NOT their opinion. I & alot of people I've spoken to are white hot pissed & though I was too young to experience what our country really has to offer & never thought I would see such a sea change, I honestly and truly believe that we are about to see a "HARD LEFT" turn. America is done with this Sh!t & the scales have FLOWN off their eyes.

As it pertains to people who say, "the f*cking Lunatics of the batSh!t crazy hard right" have sean up everything with their control of the media, (hate radio,FuxSpews, ad nauseam), they've FINALLY pushed people TOO far , especially with the omments re:Grammy & Papa, GreatAunt Lula & Great Uncle Cletus have had a good run & should be willing to give up their lives for the economy, (translation: We'll fight CoV19 & work to the last drop of YOUR, (as in US), blood, sweat AND tears. I live in Sacramento Valley & although it's not NEARLY as idiotic as when I first moved up here from LA, (Native Angelina here), there's a noticeable sea change. People that I NEVER dreamed would actually wake up & it's a damn shame that's it taken over 100K deaths, (frankly, I believe that this is a SEVERE under count & I've heard from friends & family who are clinicians, specialists, M.E.'s, Funeral directors, etc who've said that they KNOW that in some places in the US, the actual count is at LEAST 300% higher than what we're being told), & several wanton, extralegal MURDERS of Americans, POC & our vanilla cream brothers & sisters to wake them the f*ck up.

There's a change a'coming & the seismic change is going to be more powerful & revolutionary than people my age, (50's) & younger have EVER seen....This is something that the powers that be in Law Enforcement will be FORCED to face & root out!!!

in Police departments. I'm NOT stupid... what I could tell you about the things I & my family & friends have gone through... so, It will NOT BE EASY, nothing worthwhile EVER is but AMERICA is made up of humanity from all over the globe & the VAST majority are good & decent.
My brother was law enforcement & I have cousins & friends in law enforcement & nar a one has ever been unfair or brutal in the way they handled folks. My family is VERY mixed & have been multiracial going back at least 175 years.So, the majority of people who join the departments are good & decent folks, dispensing assistance, detaining folks who have made a left move; going into domestic situations... ALL because they wanted to help. Just as i am NOT stupid enough to believe some sort of fairy godmother will pull up in a pumpkin shaped cruiser, sprinkle a little fairydust & instantly fix a systemic problem. The point is that things are FINALLY turning & it won't be easy but SHIT'S REAL & people are NOT going to take it anymore.

Change is in the wind. Just as it has taken centuries to get here, just as my Piano teacher used to say:"Just as you learned your piece wrong, you can UNLEARN the wrong notes..."
