Hoping for dead police officers is not a good way to protest police brutality.
The majority of police officers are actually good men, the problem is not with the institution at large but rather the rest of them who either abuse their powers or do not have courage enough to take on any situation without gripping their pistol.
It's only because the two officers assassinated were good men that I am gravely disturbed by it. If come to find out they had been involved in deaths they should have been able to avoid, then I wouldn't be at all.
All police officers are paying the price for the one's who have no business being officers- an issue among others which are going ignored because of America's newfound false patriotism.
Instead of people waking up and seeing this harsh reality for what it truly is, they are laboring under the delusion that authorities are benevolent demigods and we're the protected flock. And that's not even what America is fundamentally about- read the 2nd Amendment.
Hoping for any dead soul will not help. But, the truth is police brutality is as old as Sumer. There has always been a war of security between serfs and lordship, and "police" have always been the hand of aristocracy and lordship - to keep them safe from the commoners. It is a one way protection: the laws of the land illustrate this quite blatantly. This is why there existed groups and bands of people who swore oaths, and exploited themselves for the well being and protection of the commoner - a champion of the people. So, that is the first big thing I don't think many people or cops actually get. The cops are here to maintain and restore order, but if the definition of order is not at the whim of the commoner, then categorically their jobs are not for the "people."
The Crips and Bloods began as a legitimate "neighborhood watch/protection" for the common people - since cops all but proved they were not for them during various civil rights incidents. They did not kidding their own people, and they did not kill or harm outsiders unless they posed a threat. And, the best part was it was most all legal. But, like any pure and good thing, someone/something worms it's way in, and pollutes the entire program.
Another side of the coin is that the "enforcers" themselves are actually not much higher than the commoners they are charged with scrutinizing. And, when cops figure this out they begin to use their incredible power to subjugate people even more so that by comparison they are seen as above the commoner. This is also made evident by police salary and required activity.
So, we are at a singularity now: commoner (us) and "authority" are both realizing neither group had nearly as much power in status as they thought. Now, both groups are also fearful of the lordship/aristocracy - so instead of turning attention on the ones who, for example, decide what is orderly and right, the groups turn on each other. Many people don't realize this is the worst thing possible, but given both groups are hit with the epiphany that their life is expendable by the lordship, they choose to fight a comfortable but trivial fight instead of an arduous yet fulfilling fight.
Police should know better, but many use their authority as a platform to alleviate social stress. Much more than a minority of police do this - this is a fact of life. Civilians should know better, but the bit of comfort that comes with the illusions is irresistible.
So, we have two polar groups that both get their "power, comfort and authority" from the lordship - and neither wants to risk losing that by confronting the lordship. So, they focus on each other in a very primal "last man standing" social, political and economical melee.
Unfortunately for the cops, they have a double portion to lose. Commoners almost always come together en masse against oppressors. Cops are oppressors today; even if they get demoted or lose their job the commoner won't take them in as one of them (because of what they did/represented as cops.) And, cops know this, which is why the lordship entertains their qualms and allows them incredible latitude in laws (i.e. choking a man to death on camera = no indictment).
Cops think this is a good thing, but it is actually destructive all encompassing for cops. The more leeway in law they receive, the more they become separated from the people. And, if/when disorder ensues, people will move against cops first, as those are the active oppressors seen by the commoner. I am positive that all cops guilty of horrible abuse will no doubt receive their reward in the afterlife, but judging the trajectory of global consciousness, things may not be favorable for them in this life.
No matter how dumb the lordship, or "authorities" think the common people are, one thing is certain:the commoner always remembers their oppressors.
People should be absolutely terrified of what will come next. Over thousands of years, history has shown that what is going on leads to one event: total collapse of an empire. America has been lucky to survive so long with so many social, gender and political problems, but this "race war" conflagration is even more multicultural and scrutinized by many different countries.
The smart thing to do would be to at least indict blatant acts of abuse, manslaughter and brutality by cops. But, that is impossible. Certain results must be met.
Problem: Police brutality (commoners,) resistance to authority (cops.)
Reaction: Allow authorities to get away with blatantly dehumanizing the commoner; wait for a commoner to "take matters in his/her own hands. Race War.
(Pre-Forged) Solution: The lordship creates order out of the chaos - whether it be draconian laws, loss of rights, more oppression, or total collapse of a nation.
This is a human issue; the commoner and especially the authorities need to understand this, lest they do exactly what they are being manipulated to do.
