"We're not anti-police ... we're anti-police brutality." Al Sharpton The Art Of Bludgeoning We can't have peace, take an oath, take a badge, now go, be brave, bludgeon that man, woman, child, until their blood redeems the views of the marionette's twisted predations, laid bare on the altar of lies, such is the denial of protest. ยฉPaul Vincent Cannon

The video of a cop smiling as he and his coworker flipped the white power sign to a black man and then smiling at each other Is white power for sure. It is disgusting and heartbreaking.

One that struck me in the images today was the fear on the faces of some of the officers – is it lack of guidance? Are they confused? Certainly when that man was pushed and fell they seemed to forget their humanity.
