Strange how Donald Trump won’t accept in other countries the type of oppression he is legalising, promoting and funding in his own country.

"France can't match the extravagant kill rate of #USA, the most heavily armed society in the world (946 #policekillings in 2020). However, allowing for e fact tt #France has only 1/5 of US’ population, its tally of 37 police killings .. is a stratospheric number cf to other #Europeans (Germany 11, UK 3, Poland 2). What makes e French more ‘American’ in this regard? Perhaps the fact tt e biggest ethnic #minorities in both countries see themselves as trapped in deprivation"

This is 100% true. I recently sat as jury foreman during a police shooting trial.
Every. Single. Aspect of policing boils down to whether the officer has “tactical control” of the situation. It doesn’t matter if there is an actual threat. It only matters if the officer THINKS THERE COULD BE A THREAT. They don’t need affirmative evidence of a threat, just the ability to dream one up.
All they need to say, in open court, is “I have no way to know what the person was going to do next, and my job is to protect the public.” Murder whoever you like, and repeat the mantra above.
The police testimony also included the fact that Tasers are useless. They fail so often that you must use a gun.
Physical combat is also not allowed (despite officers receiving training like Krav Maga) - nope, you just say “they might have a gun!” All money well spent.
Why not shoot just someone in the leg? Not reliable enough and too risky. Police are trained to shoot to “center of mass”, a wonderful euphemism for “shoot to kill”. Anything less than that, and you can testify in court how you worry you weren’t going to see your wife and kids that night.
Every common sense question has a loophole. The cop gets to place themselves in any frame of mind they like. And every law is structured to protect them.
It’s a fucking joke.
