The police have been emboldened in their fascist tendencies, I'm trying to remember now, yes I'm quite sure of it -- it was the president immediately preceding the one now in office. He made it cool to be racist and violent, now the trickle-down effect is happening in the middle classes. Just in case you were wondering. He was in favor of violence against the press his whole time in office.

Yeah, he made it cool, but racist, trigger-happy cops were a problem before he was one.
