Not defending the police but the problem with them isn't that they're incompetent and they need more training, Joe Biden. It's that they need to not exist in the first place to terrorize people and chase them down for fare jumping to the point someone would be scared enough to brandish a knife. As if it's not unreasonable to fear for your life when a flock of pigs drop their candy crush and come at you because holy shit something happened.

Thx both of you. This meme seems to tell only one side of the story, but it seems to be very true.

Btw., you don't have to live in the US to experience police violence. I called the cops once to protect me from another cop.
