police are beating random people who aren’t even protesting because it’s not about looting or rioting- it never was about order. this is collective punishment for daring to speak out against the police.
“But what about rape and domestic violence, don’t we need cops for that?”
In my 5+ years as a domestic violence counselor, there was not one instance where I saw a victim of either sexual assault, rape, or domestic violence get the help they needed by the police.
