basic human nature acting unbridled

firearms due to just a few people misusing them

"When I got outside I saw two officers beating a man with batons and they were hitting his head so every time they would swing, I could hear the blows to his head," Ceballos said.
Silva was on the ground screaming for help, but officers continued to beat him, Ceballos said.
After several minutes, Ceballos said, Silva stopped screaming and was no longer responsive.
"His body was just lying on the street and before the ambulance arrived one of the officers performed CPR on him and another one u

Someone needs to write a bill making it illegal for the police to confiscate recording devices. If the public is subject to the survailance state, then the police and all other public officials should be as well.

Footage? What footage? We took the phones as evidence but they contained nothing. It seems everyone forgot to push record. Happens a lot when people get excited. Every time I check a recording there is never anything to use as evidence. People are funny that way.

Four pages of indignant members venting their spleen at the beating to death of a single man due to police brutality, and the confiscation of cell phones.
Question: if you are all angry at what has transpired, which is just one of many examples of what goes on up and down your country, what are you going to do about it, how are you going to respond?
Going on a website like this and stating your anger is only the first step, and usually, the only step ever made. You people, not just Americans, but in other countries, too, are the police and regulators of the institutions you elect to manage your cities...so start getting together and policing.
There are a number of people whom you can motivate to action; representatives, governor, mayor, these are the ones whom control the law enforcers, and they are the ones charged with overseeing how the law enforcers act. Petition and protest without compromise, and if nothing is done, simply kick them out of office at election times, and tell them to expect to be jettisoned if they do not do the right thing. No scapegoats, get everyone of the officers involved, prosecute and imprison them. You need to do this in every single city and town in every state. You need to adopt zero tolerance to police brutality and excessive force.
If you do nothing, these deaths are going to continue. Perhaps, deep down, you're all very scared and frightend, and don't want to get involved, but will no doubt want others to get involved on your behalf if it's you being beaten to death. So, are you going to allow it to continue? Are you going to stand up on the courage of your conviction for what is right and wrong? If you do nothing, nobody will do anything. You have to hit back against it legally and peacefully, the trick is to hit the right targets, and they are the administrators whom you elect, you have got to scare them into knowing their position is untenable while these kind of deaths occur.
You either halt the slide now, or the slide will halt you.
