  1. What do you expect of a state that subsidized Ken Hamm?
    If Christians can screw up a wet dream imagine what they did to Kentucky!

  2. What's the point of stating the obvious? What's the next step, is this to just upset the apple cart

  3. “We cannot become murderers, and we cannot endure anymore violence. We must leave”.

  4. The judges allowed them to act like that.
    Allowing cops to knowingly lie to the judge. We
    need to hold all judges accountable for this
    environment. If judges are not willing to hold
    police accountable in a court of law, don't expect
    it in the streets

    Thank you Attorney general Merrick Garland

  5. And guess what? Nothing will be done. We already knew this.

  6. Sue the crap out of that police department.

  7. Discrimination? Within a police department? Wow.

  8. What comes around comes all the way back around. The Most High is keeping record

  9. Take away their immunity and they will need to reform

  10. So tired of hearing about "more training" and "policy changes". They mean nothing unless there is accountability. This is the real problem. This report from the DOJ could describe EVERY police department in America.

  11. Louisville Metro police department engaged in that much discrimination? Louisville police department seem to be operating their police department like it was still in the late 1940's early 1950's of the last century.

  12. Would never live in that part of the country

  13. Always throwing up the training BS you can't train out hate,bigotry and racism, I wander what them two u know what black republican congressman that said America is not a racist Nation have to say now since they voted against the George Floyd policing act. BP are being terrorized on a daily, law abiding BP are terrorized on every front, in their community, terrorized by racist hate filled cop's, terrorized in a system that practices black hatred rather it's on the job, while in the store,in the education system etc etc, if other group's had to go through what BP have been dealing with for CENTURIES They would lose their mind's

  14. Tell me something i don't know…
