For all our rightful outrage over when police officers kill people, they are even more likely to brutalize people, particularly young Black men like this brother. Trump would attempt to give immunity to cops like this and their sucker punches.

This story is bonkers. Cops in this South Carolina town run an annual 5-day operation where they stop as many cars as possible. They find any reason to pull people over. And often if the driver has cash, police steal it.

In 2022, cops seized $968,611. That’s $194,000 per day. https://t.co/g9mPbuzNnG

No officers are charged with a crime in 98% of all police killings. Of the 2% that remain, half are acquitted. Only 1% end up getting convicted, often because they committed unusually extreme and egregious acts of police murder. These are the cops he wants to give immunity. https://t.co/Sl5udjg03d
