More police brutality than you can shake a stick at.

Well, it definitely was reported about, as it ended up on the other thread yesterday:

Is America burning? (Black Lives Matter protests, civil unrest and riots 2020)

Fucks sake stop talking about stupid Martin please. Eta sorry that looks really cross it’s just frustration. He’s so very not interesting & to make it about him when he’s not even here is just as the President would say, sad.

What do you mean 'the other thread'?

I'm posting on this one. Weirdo.
 
In today's ‘Are You Shitting Me?!’ news:

[Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick] also joined a denunciation of the police assault on Floyd, and the violence that followed. She echoed a statement from Martin Hewitt, chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, Mike Cunningham, chief executive of the College of Policing, and Paul Griffiths, president of the Police Superintendents’ Association.

It says: “We stand alongside all those across the globe who are appalled and horrified by the way George Floyd lost his life. Justice and accountability should follow.”

Quelle surprise Cressida Dick speaks with a forked tongue:

Exclusive: Police chief urged Priti Patel to use Extinction Rebellion ‘opportunity’ to curb protest rights

Boris Johnson says protest ‘a key part of democracy’. But new documents show Met Police boss urging government to use XR demos as a ‘much-needed opportunity’ to limit protest laws

Can’t help but feel the police penalisation system needs some work.

The 'without pay' seemed to me to be something different. The suspension and promise of investigation was also quite quick; contrast it with the police response to attack on the Australian news crew in New York.

Just to be clear what the police officer did (assaulting a 75 year old man), intervening to stop a colleague helping, plus what the vast majority of the other officers did (either nothing or attempted to obstruct/intimidate those recording the event) was disgusting. Also I agree that the current means of investigating police wrong doing are inadequate (both in the US and the UK).
