It's not that these things are getting worse. None of this is new. They're just getting more attention now due to social media. You have to realize that most of the accounts you read in the mainstream media are based on the cops' side of the story. Usually the victims are dead and not around to tell their side, and when they report it, they mention tidbits of information that are not germaine to the situation that led them to be killed like prior arrests and whatnot to demonize them and make it seem like it was within reason that they be shot and killed by the police. In the case of Rumain Brisbon, they mentioned that he was running from his car. They didn't mention that he had bags of food in his hand and was trying to do a quick drop off to his fam. He didn't even see the cops. They mentioned that police found a handgun and marijuana in the vehicle he ran from. They didn't mention that he had a medical card to carry and use medical marijuana and that the handgun was legally registered to him in an Open Carry state. They killed that man in cold blood and that was something that didn't need to happen.
