On the latest episode of his show Patriot Act, Hasan Minhaj explains why the many cases in which police kill unarmed mostly black people and escape any punishment is not only due to the specifics of each case but that it is encouraged by a system in which the training of police encourages immediate violent action and the unions and the laws are designed to give police immunity from the consequences of their actions, however egregious they might be. In other words, this is a systemic problem that cannot be blamed on a few ‘rotten apples’.

“Best trained”? Really? When fucken’ *beauticians* have to undergo more training than a cop? What a fucken joke!
@1, found the point rather clear. They’re extraordinarily well-trained at pre-emptive brutality. As peace officers, not so much.
