Rampant police brutality in the U.S.

So what's your comment on those police officers consuming marijuana at that facility they'd just raided, Andy? Pretty hypocritical, eh? (they thought they'd destroyed all the cameras, but oops! -- they didn't)
So Young Turks are the only reporters of this disturbing event and it's only available on You Tube??? I would think lots of news agencies would be interested including NY Times; Washington Post; NJ Star Ledger ... to name a few. Reliability is the concern, the Y.T. might also have some great actors _ false news _ comedy ... Maybe CNN had the same concerns ...???
You clearly didn't watch the whole clip. It included the surveillance video of the raid.
I prefer to read the news ... don't want to get too lazy just watching or listening to it ... and yes, I have found written published news is usually a bit more reliable. And you haven't answered if CNN might have had some of the same concerns with the Young Turks slant on the news ...

Just know this: The masses are figuring out that CNN, ABC, NBC and especially CBS -- as well as all the other corporate-owned "news" sources -- are government propaganda mouthpieces. The Young Turks, David Pakman and Secular Talk are actually generating bigger viewership numbers. But if you want to continue being spoon-fed misinformation and living in denial that police departments are wholly corrupt, there's not much I can do about that. It usually turns out that people who defend corruption are either on-the-take or in denial.

I have to say, ever since I read a newspaper article "report" a situation that happened at the airline I worked at, I have absolutely no faith in newspaper reports. The article was so ful of errors it was laughable. Later, on, a brutal murder of someone in my neighborhood who was black, was buried deep in the back section of the paper. I can't help thinking that if it had been a white person, it would have been on the front pages! Have stopped relying on newspaper articles. There is a grain of truth, buried in there, but it would be so inaccurate, and unreliable as to try to form correct opinions.

Being KKK is only one subset of the White Supremecist Movement. Look at the Neo Nazi/ Skinhead category. The hate hides all over the USA. Those groups are merciless and vile and will do things to innocent people you can never imagine. Read the whole site. And if you see something like this, report it to the SPLC. These people put their lives on the line everyday to stop hate. Peace and Love.️️
If that's the answer for my comments re. NJ, they should say so on their website - to be absolutely clear to everyone. Someone else is bound to wonder the same ... and then choose not to contribute financially to the group without a correction.
So you actually believe New Jersey is free of hate groups? I don't think the SPLC is asking for donations from people who live in a fantasy world. You keep your money, no one asked you to donate money. I was trying to educate you and others on hate groups that do exist all over the USA. Unless you have been terrorized by hate groups, "living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see." Do you recall The Beatles being hated by white supremicists in the 1960's? Hate groups are not a game and are not funny. You believe what you like. Peace and Love to all! "THINK!" Another link: Mentioning New Jersey: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2015/active-hate-groups-united-states-2014#nazi That is just me skimming over it.

Just saw this link about NJ. http://www.nj.com/south/index.ssf/2015/03/new_jersey_has_fourth_highest_number_of_hate_group.html The 4th highest in the nation of hate groups... there are a lot of gangs here, according to a policeman that I talked to. Even in my zip code, which surprised me.

Live outside of the United States for a while and you'll be amazed at how different the news is outside the country as opposed to inside.

I'm surprised New Jersey is so high on the list. What are the top 3?

I just found this article on the top ten most racist states in the USA based on the SPLC data: http://ontheblacklist.net/top-10-u-s-states-that-are-most-racist/ It is just sad that people think they are superior to others and the tactics they use are so awful. It is real domestic terrorism.

The brutality seems to be growing globally. It sounds like a repeat of Nazi , Germany revisited. Too many simularities and it is scary. love doris

California, New York and Florida

I would have never guessed those three, but they are among the largest states in the country. California has more people than most countries. It only makes sense that they have more crazy people, too.

It's the four states that I'd always considered retring in. This poll made me realize it's probably time to change that thought. I'd like to know the places in the world with the least amount of hate crimes...that's where I need to relocate!! Hate, prejudice, racism, bullying...why isn't is popular to shun that? Instead we have Donald Trump building walls everywhere. It's a sorry situation.

I think if you want to get away from hate crimes, you either need a place where there's almost no diversity or a place with a brutal dictatorship that keeps crime down. California might have a lot of crazies, but it's also a naturally beautiful state. San Francisco felt like a wonderfully friendly place, at least when I was there, and Los Angeles has some amazing food. Sure, they have gang problems, but they also have the best Mexican food I've ever eaten.

San Francisco is beautiful!! Was in a bad earthquake, not so fun. San Diego is my fav though. Far enough away from the fault and perfect weather. The ocean is gorgeous, and of course the San Diego Zoo! I had a dream once of a perfect ocean view home, it might have been San Diego... Great Mexican food too!! Dictatorship...ummm no thank you!

When it comes right down to it Washington DC government-ites are essentially corp. types too (including Dems, Repubs. & Indeps.). I'm for term limits _ thanks for your service, bye bye. I only mentioned CNN since it is liberal in direction & since the Turks had a relationship in the past. And since CNN also has printed news. Lots of people prefer printed news _ gotta inspire thinking ... reading does just that. No spoon fed news please! Thanks! ---- Sorry, I don't think the President has had my back or yours for the past 7 years. I appreciate the police! They have my back!

I've never been to San Diego, but I don't doubt the great food. I've heard about their great weather. I've also heard about San Francisco's bad weather, but I liked it.

One must be creative when attempting to tactfully present an extremely serious point.
