The Psychology of Police Brutality

8 posts in this topic

Just watched this video by JP, I think it is important and shows quite well how does police brutality works.

It also made me  thankful I am not living in the US, seriously guys how can anyone think that any of that is normal?

You ever seen those fictional films that scare young kids into being cautious drivers? I was in school and shown this film where because this teenage girl was an irresponsible driver, she killed her best friends and everybody hated her. The end. 

I feel like police officers are shown similar training videos to become cautious but instead the whole police culture becomes fear and power based. 


Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.

@lmfao I can understand it when cops use force because they feel risk for their life, they are doing a dangerous job, and fear in face of life threat is a legitimate thing.

Cops also apply force sometimes to maintain public order and keep 3rd party safe, that is also understandable.

But in all of the instances shown in the video or the George Floyd case, there was no danger to the cops nor to other parties.
It is really shocking to me how this kind of policing was tolerated in the US so far.

Psychedelics is the answer.

@roopepa I love it. I was just thinking about how racial tensions would be significantly reduced if more people used LSD.

@dkamenev I love his metaphor of “All Bones Matter”. If my femur bone is injured, I need to direct attention to healing my femur bone. As well anti-anti-racist = racist.

Clearly people like Jared are not required on the police force.
