It's sad that someday I will have to teach my son police etiquette. Either be quiet and completely submissive or risk being shot.

Police force needs to reevaluate their selection process and training methods. Too many cops shooting civilians out of fear.
— Jordan Burroughs (@alliseeisgold) July 7, 2016
It bothers me that cops stick together even amongst injustice. No one is willing to call out their colleagues for mishandling a situation.
— Jordan Burroughs (@alliseeisgold) July 7, 2016
I respect police. I don't think they are bad people. Just bad execution. Either way, consequences should be involved. Justice is necessary.

Are the police here to protect the public or themselves?

ATTENTION POLICE: There is a way to protect yourself and subdue your subjects without killing them. It's called wrestling. Learn it.

I'm more than willing to teach all officers willing to learn.
