Government inefficiency in the U.S.

If this were the only example of such unrestrained action by police in the US it would be bad enough but it is just one more in a series.
Jim Crow laws were supposedly eliminated, schools were integrated but housing complexes that permit grouping under educated, unemployed people lead to roll models that get rich selling drugs and who carry and guns to enforce their positions.

If this leads police to have an unfavorable opinion of the others... only an idiot would believe that it was not set up whit a degree of malice and forethought.

I guess the Trumpster whose slogan of Make America Great Again would have said The South Shall Rise Again too.

And the conservative SSupreme Court under the "Intellectual" guidance of Antonin Scalia has greatly expanded the power of the police state over citizens basically gutting the 4th Amendment. The South shall rise again code for return to segregation, Jon Crow, quasi-public lynchings ... As the Stomach Churns.
