Accidental is a very slippery word in this incident. Have you ever handled a taser? I have, and I’ve fired 9mm pistols that are very similar to police-issue weapons.

The feel of them are so incredibly different in the hand, the weights are so profoundly different, the manner of firing is so completely different, that accidental begins to lose meaning here.

I’m not saying this police officer intended to commit murder, but I am saying her actions rise to the level of at least depraved indifference.

It isn’t that the problem?

Isn’t the problem that police are programmed to commit violence against Black people at the drop of a pin?

So that man didn’t want to get in the police cruiser. So he struggled a bit while handcuffed.

You know, hitting somebody with a taser carries a non-negligible risk of serious health consequences including death. Hitting someone with a taser is a violent, dangerous act.

But cops in the United States tase Black people constantly, in circumstances like the one here where the people the cops tase present no risk to the cops.

The problem here is the cops believe they have and should have the right to commit violence against people, especially Black people, who pose no actual threat.

I can’t help but watch that video and think that woman cop is a pig. I can’t help but see that she believed she had the right to commit violence. That disgusts me. She disgusts me.

So am I surprised at her depraved indifference? Absolutely not.

We need fundamental, revolutionary reform. Americans must start demanding in overwhelming volume that cops stop being pigs.

Cops like like this woman have to start going to to prison for long periods of time, until cops begin to fear committing violence. Police brutality must end. Police racism must end.

The pigs are out of control.
