This is precisely what a totalitarian police state looks like, and it « does not have to be this way » https://t.co/Zi5Tq6Syhw

Twisted Sister's Dee Snider voiced his support against police brutality by sharing a personal message, "My dad was a state trooper for 27 years (then moved to the courts as a peace officer). He never shot or killed anybody. There are a LOT of great cops out there who want to do the right thing...but the minority that are pieces of shit cause a lot of pain."

Thanks for sharing this. My dad was a state trooper for 27 years (then moved to the courts as a peace officer). He never shot or killed anybody. There are a LOT of great cops out there who want to do the right thing...but the minority that are pieces of shit cause a lot of pain. https://t.co/ewqalgoGJP
