The cop literally put that man's hand on the stick just so he could have a reason to beat him up

They're literally taught that no matter what they should always view people as a threat. It's fucking horrifying, and it doesn't help that a lot of the time they're taught to view POC as the main threat. This video and many others scare me. I don't know what the man did, but regardless it's fucked up how aggressive they handle the man. They're horrified of him. I'd feel bad for the police who live in constant fear that everyone they interact with is gonna pull out a gun and shoot em but its hard to just not view them in a horrifying light, especially being a black person. So yeah, I do think the police should be done away with, or at the very least taught differently or pay attention to who you hire. The BLM movement isn't gonna work if these teaching methods are still in place for cops.
