San Jose police officer Phillip White has been put on leave after posting a series of death threats to protestors on his personal Twitter account.
His tweets raise at least three very disturbing questions.
1. How could an officer who makes such statements just be put on temporary leave and not fired? It will be hard for members of the community to ever feel safe around Phillip White.
2. In his mocking statements of #BlackLivesMatters and #ICantBreathe, he fails to see that these are chants from peaceful protests. Why is he using them as an opportunity to mock and threaten the community?
3. Is it safe to assume that the sentiments expressed by Phillip White, which seem to invite violence and death and confrontation, are shared by his colleagues?see video
just to show how maladjusted some of the nations police forces have become they are approaching the current atmosphere of distrust of them azz backwards. they are making the case for the public angst with them. officer friendly has morphed into buster bad azz who will threaten, assault or kill you with impunity. there needs to be a one strike law if they do any of the above no paid vacations after criminal assaults or murder no denying video or eyewitness testimony or complicit DA's the entire system needs dumping and revamping and less protecting of killers and more protection of innocents regardless to color that means no profiling.
the justice system as it is is littered with the bodies of young people of color who got no justice and found themselves like the rest with just us.
