I watched that video very shortly after it was released, and words cannot express the horror of it. It's not just a cold-blooded murder, which is horrifying enough, obviously.

It's the fact that those cops treated that woman like shit for the entire period of the interaction. They were rude, disrespectful, condescending, and clearly angry.

They obviously didn't want to be there attending to that call, and they treated that poor woman like the dirt under their shoes.

They treated her like she was subhuman. They clearly recognized that she was going through a mental health crisis, even asking her if she was mentally okay. (Implying through vocal tone that they knew she wasn't okay.)

The way they asked mocked her more than offered her any assistance, in the manner of classic schoolyard bullies.

Only one of those cops is a murderer, but neither of them deserve to wear a badge. Neither of them has the slightest recognition of what it means to protect and serve.

What makes this all the more horrifying, is that I watch violent cop videos every day as fresh ones are posted by concern citizens on YouTube literally every day. I do that to remain aware of what's happening in my nation.

Every day, I watch videos that do not rise to national attention, showing cops treating people, usually people of color, like animals.

I watch them brutalizing people. Throwing to the to the ground and causing serious injury, applying handcuffs intentionally to cause the greatest pain possible, and otherwise behaving like bullying pigs they are. (I use that old slang for cops with the greatest possible intention and attention.)

Cop culture in the United States is out of control. Cops are brutal, almost morals-free animals with seemingly no appreciation for humanity or decency. They are calloused, cruel, and disgusting people.

The way they laugh and joke among themselves so often as they dish out brutality is beyond sickening. The way they protect one another, and their unions protect them, is beyond sickening.

Which raises a point.

The killer cop in this case was on his sixth police department in 4 years. He'd been dismissed or forced to resign from five (some reports say four) others for misconduct or failing to follow policy.

Just look how they protected him. The sheriff in this case has been full of apologies, but he hired that killer cop with full knowledge that he was a loose canon and a big problem.

Obviously, the sheriff didn't care that the killer cop had been in trouble multiple times. That's the sickening cop culture I'm referring to.

Cops are pigs, and it's our responsibility as Americans to start doing something about it.

We need to demand radical reform, and we need to start demanding it now.
