remember the six year old girl in Florida who was collared and cuffed?

Florida is a third world country.

A few rich barons, a bunch of poor disenfranchised people, official oppression and coverups.

now they have a law that destroys DNA evidence after a short time so that defendants wrongly convicted will have no evidentiary basis for appeal.

1st video- wtf? Arresting him for exercising his rights that were guaranteed in The U.S. Constitution? If I were there I would've gotten mad at those cops, and they' probably would've arrested me too, and I'd be ******** glad so it could've made even more of a scene.

2nd video- popo carrying around those big a** guns would NOT make me feel safe. They said walking around in those bullet-proof vests would be unrealistic, but carrying around those huge guns would be too. People need to try and set good examples for eachother, and you can't walk around with a huge gun like that and then tell other people they can't. If police use those guns then I think the amount of criminals using them will increase too. Police carrying around those guns will just make everything worse for everyone, the police, the criminals, and everyone else too. Killing people isn't the popo's job (or atleast it's not SUPPOSED to be, but what in America has actually gone as planned anyway?); their job is to protect people, not kill them. Weapons are for attack, not defence; do they have some sort of vocabulary problem or something? It seems like popos are criminals in disguise, legal criminals.

I don't really have much to say about the third video, but it's kind of scary. I've never even driven on a real non-dirt road though, so I can't really side with the bikers or the car-drivers, but I think they should both just be careful on the roads. I do feel bad for the guy who hit them though because I don't think it was intentional and he probably feels really guilty, and I feel bad for the people who were hit and anyone affected by the accident too.

If I could get you out of Florida I would, but I can't even get myself out of Texas. I imagine that most of the United States is pretty messed up though. Maybe I could move to China or something one day (idc if it's a Communism, I don't think the U.S. is much better), after all, I am learning to speak Chinese.

In Japan the cops don't carry guns

4 unarmed black men have been killed in the Liberty City area of Miami in the last month by police.

"On October 25, 19 year old BG Beaugris talked with his younger brother and two friends a mere 100 feet from his own apartment, having just completed his father's laundry. Undercover "jumpout" Christopher Villano saw four Black men and, according to Villano's lawyer, considered them "suspicious." Villano jumped out of his unmarked car, gun drawn, and ordered the young men against the wall. After finding nothing illegal or dangerous, Villano engaged in a verbal argument with BG before jumping on him and placing him in a headlock. With his free hand, Villano drew his weapon and shot BG once. As he lay on the ground injured, Villano shot BG twice more, killing him.

On November 7, Roger Brown was apparently driving erratically before being stopped by school and Miami-Dade police. Several cops jumped on the 40 year old Brown, claiming he was resistant, behavior typical of individuals suffering a mental health crisis. According to witnesses, after tasing Brown, police kicked him in the face and beat him with night sticks before placing him in a "hogtie" position and throwing him in the back of a cruiser. Brown stopped breathing and was pronounced dead at the hospital a short time later.

On November 12, Frisco Blackwood and Michael Knight were dropping a friend off at her Little Haiti home. A marked Miami-Dade police car followed them and eventually pulled them over, allegedly for running a red light. The rented SUV pulled into a dead end- leaving the three with nowhere to run, even if they wanted to- and the police jumped out of their cruiser with guns drawn on the car, all for running a red light. The guns and barked orders made Blackwood nervous and police open fired when the vehicle did not do exactly what the cops wanted it to. After getting hit by multiple bullets, Blackwood's body convulsed uncontrollably, throwing the vehicle into reverse. The female passenger in the back seat was shot in the leg and survived watching her friends die at the hands of the police.
