Also, they’re racist thugs. Both things are true, if you want them to be.

Tom Winter, NBC News:

Graphic video obtained by NBC News shows sheriff’s deputies tasing a mentally ill Georgia man in the groin while he was restrained in a chair.

Two Georgia sheriff’s deputies and a health care worker are currently being tried for involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of 22-year-old Matthew Ajibade, who died after being taken into police custody on New Year’s Day…

Ajibade, 22, was handcuffed to a restraint chair in an isolation cell after he allegedly hit his girlfriend and broke a deputy’s nose while in the midst of what his family described as a bipolar episode. Officers also placed a spit mask over his mouth. He was found dead in the chair, still wearing the spit mask, in the early morning hours of January 2.

The following video was taken with a camera attached to the taser.

We hire police officers for their judgment. That’s why you can rely on them to help you when something bad happens.

Put a stop to gun violence. If you don’t own a gun, don’t buy one. If you do own a gun, turn it over to the police so they can destroy it. Put your personal safety in their hands.

Haven’t they earned your trust?
