Thanks for listening

This incident should be made aware to all citizens of America, and ALL COPS SHOULD BE AWARE ALSO!!!

[@AngeloCamacho-e6e]

I did not know this had happen in our country. I have always said, the police and the soldiers are American citizens and should be always on the side of the people not on the side of the politicians. I am a veteran and if I have to take up arms against our government to save our country, I will do so. The government has no right to take away our guns. That is our priviledge and our right to bare arms. The reason, in case the government, like it is happening today, gets too big for it's britches. God bless us all.

my grandfather was in the jail when this took place and hes the one that got the guards to let them out so they wouldnt be shot

[@marissat678]

[@TysonHymas]

That’s why they were the greatest generation.

[@JackMayhoffer]

Imagine how MSNBC would circle the wagons for that sheriff.

[@mr6johnclark]

[@justinhorn2864]

Back when men had balls

[@pbl7598]

This leaves out a lot of details. Like the man that was shot by the corupt police. And how they beat people that didn't pay there fees. It was a lot worse than depicted here

This is my city and grew up playing on those sidewalks as a kid cause my mother had a hair salon around the corner to the right across from Johnson Furniture that caught fire a few yrs ago. There are murals just 2 blocks up from where the last view was from. I am actually related to Bill White that led the battle

[@NYRM1974]

This is what happens when hard-working citizens had enough of corruption.

[@TraitorBiden-k8c]

The proof of the 2ND AMENDMENT!

For someone not from USA, a YT short on a colorised photo of the ex-GIs, got me to this extraordinary event in the post-war history of American democracy. In my nation, election rigging of ballot-boxes has been eliminated through use of electronic voting machines. However, in the recently concluded national elections, there is still a lingering suspicion on the neutrality of the election process and the federal Election Commission. I believe that such public vigilance should be a safeguard for democracy everywhere.

[@pewpewTN]

One of the most Based things in US history.

[@Weshopwizard]

Civil asset forfeiture, anyone?

[@robertalpy]

How could an elected official be so blatantly corrupt? I mean, they all are to a degree... but this Cantrell guy seemed to flaunt it.

[@ContentEnjoyer-gm3ky]

There’s a reason they’re subtle nowadays.
