two minutes on how and where american police are trained and in what way;

here is a good example of why citizens are loosing patience with cops;

Buffalo, NY — Filming the police is entirely legal in every state. However, all too often, we will see police officers overstep their authority and arrest, attack, and assault innocent people for the constitutionally protected act of documenting their behavior in public. Ruweyda Salim learned about this the hard way this week when she was assaulted, called a derogatory name, and subsequently stalked and harassed for doing nothing other than legally filming the police — from over 20 feet away.

When Salim noticed nearly a dozen police officers begin to surround a man outside a 7/11 on Sunday, she decided to practice her first amendment right to film the police.

As the video shows, Salim is far enough away not to be considered a threat and is not talking or saying anything to the officers who have an unarmed man completely surrounded. Despite breaking no laws, harming no one, and not interfering in any way, Lt. Michael DeLong walked up to Salim and got in her face.

The officer, who is clearly larger, wearing a bullet proof vest, carrying a weapon, and surrounded by 10 of his fellow cops, singled out this young woman in what can only be called an act of intimidation and bullying. But Salim refused to be bullied.

“We have cameras, too,” DeLong says as he walks up to threaten and intimidate Salim.

“OK. Get away from me. Can you get away from me?” Salim says.

“No,” he replies.........read and watch more.........

the idiocy and hypocrisy of the empire both maddens and entertains me daily, and here you can discover some of why that is because 'our' rotating enemies now have returned to russians;

I must confess that interventionists have given me a case of foreign-policy whiplash given the constantly changing array of official enemies of the United States on which Americans are supposed to focus their attention. One day it’s China. The next day it’s Russia. Then Iran. Venezuela. North Korea. Syria. The terrorists. The Muslims. Illegal immigrants. ISIS. Al Qaeda. Drug dealers. The Taliban. My neck is hurting!

Today, the attention is back on Russia. According to the New York Times, unnamed U.S. “intelligence” sources are saying Russian “intelligence” has “secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan — including targeting American troops.”

In addition to my case of foreign-policy whiplash, I’m now suffering from a case of reverse déjà vu!

When it was the Soviet Union doing the invading and occupying of Afghanistan, the U.S. government was helping the Mujahideen to kill Soviet soldiers. U.S. officials were doing this by supplying weaponry to those who were opposing the Soviet invasion and occupation of the country...........read more..............

caitlin makes some good points which aught to cause you optimism;

The fight to liberate humanity from oppression, exploitation, butchery and madness is really a fight to expand consciousness.

The existential threats our species now faces are ultimately due to the fact that powerful people advance omnicidal, ecocidal, oppressive, violent and exploitative agendas behind veils of secrecy and propaganda distortion. They do evil things while deliberately keeping people unconscious of those evil things, so that the people will not use the power of their numbers to stop them.

The people do not use the power of their numbers to force a change into a healthy paradigm which puts human interests first because their perception of the world is aggressively manipulated by power structures who have a vested interest in keeping that from happening. Wealth and power are kept in the hands of elites and their underlings by propagandizing people into believing the current status quo is the only way things can be. War agendas are consented to because people are propagandized into believing this or that boogie man poses some imminent threat and needs to be eliminated. Surveillance, censorship, government secrecy and police militarization are tolerated because people are manipulated into believing they need these things.

And so on. In all cases, the key carrying agent for all of these toxic agendas is unconsciousness. If people were conscious of the real nature of these agendas and how badly they’re being robbed in order to advance them, they would refuse to consent to them and force them to stop. So they are kept unconscious of their reality by perceptual manipulation like propaganda, government opacity, internet censorship, and the war on adversarial journalism.............read more........
