That'll be a hell of a thing, the lawyers will be fat on it if it's a meaningful disbandment and not a change from one police force to a rebranded but very similar body.

Tired and unemotional
Without wanting to come across as a keyboard warrior, there were several points in that sequence when someone would have been utterly justified in delivering a solid upper cut to that cunt. Ideally, before he advanced on that clearly-frightened kid, but failing that at the point he attacked the cameraman with a bicycle.
But hey, it's America. He won't be held to account.

The editorial page editor who defended the New York Times publishing the inflammatory op-ed by Senator ‘Plantation’ Cotton has admitted he didn't read it before publication. The Times has now announced that the process leading up to its publication was ‘rushed” and “Did Not Meet Standards”, that the editing process will be reviewed, and fewer op-ed pieces published.

The ex-cop is off the hook - a salesman called Anthony Brennan turned himself in, he's been fired and faces three assault charges.
Mystery solved: Police arrest Kensington man in alleged assault on Capital Crescent Trail
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (WJLA) – Following five days of mounting social media frenzy, Maryland-National Capital Park Police have arrested the man they believe to be responsible for assaulting three young adults on the Capital Crescent Trail in Bethesda. On Monday, the three teens— ages 18, 19...wjla.com
His account so far is priceless: wracked with guilt and remorse for attacking the three teens on Monday, he planned to meet with a lawyer on Friday(!), but was so wracked with guilt and remorse (did I mention he was wracked with guilt and remorse?) he decided to make a pit-stop to see a priest or a pastor first, but so keen to do some exculpatory religious shit was he that his son (who drove him) ran a red light and was pulled over by cops.
Who then asked him, “Are you the bicyclist?”, to which he replied - illustrating the vast quantities of guilt and remorse swooshing through his body - “My lawyer advised me not to speak about the subject”!
Yes, that's the lawyer he hadn't actually had a conference with yet.
And he was allowed to go on his merry way (because that's just how cops roll, obvs) to his conference with his lawyer, to discuss his guilt and remorse and to plan how best to hand himself in.
Except, you know, the police had him under surveillance since loads of his neighbours had dobbed on him. Something that he might, just possibly, have been alerted to the possibility of, what with the random traffic stop cops asking him straight out whether he was angry old white racist bike dude.
But, you know, wracked with guilt, and remorse.
So with his lawyer's help he turned himself in, allowed a search of his home (where the stolen signs and tape were discovered), and showed officers where he had hidden his bike, locked up on a street well away from his home and current work location, which, you know, veritably exudes guilt and remorse, as does his inability to produce the cycling jersey he was wearing in the original video, which it seems he discarded soon after the incident, and the fact most of his riding gear (sunglasses, helmet, shorts, bandanna, water bottle, shoes) was stashed in a bag under his porch.
And so by the end of Friday, he finally got to chew on a charge sheet shit sandwich, only, in an angry old white racist bike dude kind of way; that is, without getting beaten up, fitted up or banged up more than a few hours, before being released on a small personal bond.
But he never did get a chance to religify with a god-guy

Dont be scared
15000 people (conservative estimate) stood outside the US embassy in Copenhagen. and then walked towards the parliament
The yanks were nowhere to be seen. Usually they guard the embassy front entrance. A lot of noise. A lot of power.

George Floyd: Minneapolis council pledges to dismantle police department
The move comes amid protests against racism and police brutality sparked by George Floyd's death.

Defund and demiltarise the police seems the way to go, but surely they need to stop every other fucker having a gun too? Actually, or is the the case that heavily armed American police are normally attacking folks without guns, so the take guns off 90% of them have 10% to deal with armed robbers, Uzi toting gangsters and the like?

What is a title anyway?
America really does have a problem with so many citizens being armed. I don't think that country will ever be anything other than the wild west.

For the majority of people, especially poor people, and especially especially poor black people, the US is the exact opposite of the wild west. It is a country in which state violence and coercion are a constant threat and disciplining force. Not to mention the power employers have over their employees.

There was an investigation into the cause of the riots in Ferguson, Mo. What they found was that they had been seriously overpoliced, often using unconstitutional tactics. The citizens were viewed not as citizens, but as potential cash cows for funding the local government through fines:
