    It really seems to me that Trumpists are becoming even more brazen in the past few days. Cops especially. You'd think they'd realize people are watching. Yet we have a fire chief in West Virginia wearing a shirt that says, "All Lives Splatter" and depicts protesters getting run over by a car. Among other examples.

    And somehow they think the recording won't become public. Or they know it will become public and they're planning a Go Fund Me campaign bankrolled by the Fox News klan.

    Yep, they’re going from 30-weight to 20-weight.

    It's us versus them. Two different countries.

    All I can think of is how many people the police murdered, without any questions, before cell phones.

    We never hear a peep about the Georgia jogger, Central Park Birdman and Floyd without video.

    There really should be a week long remembrance of victims of police violence - every year. (Though it kind of seems we have these annually anyway). Another thought - would it be terrible if cities just called in the National Guard instead of using police for riot response. It seems like you are only adding gas to the situation when you stick the entity a group is protesting right in front of those protesting.

    Also worth noting - cities HAVE disbanded their police agencies.

    This city disbanded its police department 7 years ago. Here's what happened next - CNN
