"We need police reform in america!"
Unironically, Democrats:

Dems are beholden to billionaires. They just don’t want to be as obvious as Republicans.
It’s not liberals versus conservatives.
It’s the rich versus the rest.
There’s a lot more of us than there are of them.
They are owned by the same oligarchs and Israel. Nothing will meaningfully improve for the American people until we end the Israeli occupation of our government. https://www.trackaipac.com/congress
DNC platform is tax the rich, raise minimum wage, and fund social programs. They have had 48 or less senators for over 13 years, currently 45. The last time they had 58 for less than two months they caucused with 2 independents to pass Medicaid. They would have launched a Public Option identical to Germany's healthcare if not for one of those independents opposing it.
DNC is liberal, DNC is on our side, Vote DNC. Or, if an independent polls higher, then vote for them because at least they're not a Republican and removing every single Republican should be our goal.
Many democrats are on our side. Historically, traditionally the DNC AKA leadership absolutely isn't. There have been some changes in recent history. And that's good. But till there's enough history to plot out a new pattern of behavior. We'd be fools to treat them as if they changed.
The biggest problem with the Democratic party for decades has been that they're serving two masters. Lip-service to the voters to try and get their neoliberal candidates in office. But legislating largely for the major donors that took over funding the party once Reagan broke the unions. The DNC talks the talk. But atm are unable to walk the walk. I hope that changes soon. With each death and retirement, things look a little better for them.
Many democrats are on our side.
Yeah, like three of them.
And the rest are fighting harder to stop Democrats who actually are on our side than they are against fascists: people like Mamdani and Platner.
Yep, but thankfully it looks like Mamdani and Platner might be changing the equation. Fingers crossed.

And their campaign promises have so much value, clearly.

The DNC has had multiple opportunities to tax the rich, raise minimum wage, and fund social programs during my lifetime and they have not done so once. I don’t believe them anymore when they say it’s their platform.
Being anti-Republican isn’t enough anymore. This shit will keep happening for as long as we allow private ownership of the means of production.

No, I'm pretty sure Democrats are for more funding for ICE. Don't project your ideals into these ghouls.

Also, bodycams were always a cop wishlist item. They control the footage, does anyone think if ICE had bodycams there would be transparency? Of course not, there would be a ton of “malfunctioning” bodycams when they did some shit, and in any case where a civilian showed even a hint of resistance or that they might fight back, the footage would be used to bury them.
If the bodycams came with a law that said that in case of malfunction of the bodycam the one to be trust is the civilian all those "malfunctioning" bodycams wouldn't have any problem working right.
Yea it should be the body camera footage vs the civilian testimony. The cops shouldn't even get to tell " their side". Camera wasn't working? Guess the civilian testimony is 100% true.
For some reason police body cams malfunction a lot when they are shooting clearly innocent people and on ocassion corrupted footage becomes visible after the trial has acquitted the cop...
News about the USA makes me so incredibly sad and anxious currently.
I hope the world won't go to shit and people will eventually see reason again.
I think the sooner we stop hoping and start fighting, will improve our chances to see a world based on freedom and reason within our lifetimes.

Semi trucks have camera systems that send recorded events to a third party to be monitored and stored in case needed. The only reason this is not done is because police want the ability to cover up their crimes.
The most telling part of the vid is where he switches the camera from his right hand to his left, so he can pull his gun out with his right hand.
If thats the moment he started fearing for his life then he should never have been employed in law enforcement.
He was just mad she wasn't scared of him
Gives the same vibes as believing being anonymous online encourages hate, when the same people wouldn't change their behavior when they are not anonymous.

Maybe someone bought Axon stock recently and is looking to boost its value?
there is no lesser evil, just the same evil dressed in different clothes
Crazy how in China's 'one party system' there's more discussions and disagreements than in the USA's 'two party system'.
Both parties grift, and we need a Third Party.
Democrats have moved so far right that they can become the new conservative party. MAGA needs to be put in jail and then we can build a left party

They only released this video because they somehow thought it exonerated the killer. They don't release the videos of them abusing victims at their concentration camps, or breaking into peoples homes. They should always be on camera.
They're controlled opposition funded by the same people, if you're expecting them to save you then you're out of luck.
If you're American your best option is to get out and organise resistance, or to collectively fund a new political party with a backbone not in the pockets of billionaires.
Either way you need to get out there, sorry lads.

Who said this?
Cory Booker
Which Dems are saying this? In any case I'm not sure how a centrist saying a thing like that is surprising
