Excessive force by police is a widespread problem

| July 14, 2016 1:43 PM

All lives matter. Our laws need to be changed, not just to investigate police shootings butt those officers that use excessive force on citizens. This is bigger than one could imagine, but it was only a matter of time for the injustice of our nation ignoring racial problems in our police force and the system of our courts.

Not everybody has a video, but that doesn’t mean an officer hasn’t used excessive force on citizens. Stop protecting officers that do wrong and give a bad name to officers doing their job to protect citizens.

Until those Americans have walked in the shoes of citizens that are harassed by law enforcement, don’t be so quick to judge.
