It gets worse
United States police organizations are embarrassing themselves. First, a New York City police union, then a Los Angeles one, then Chicago, Houston, Philly, announced a boycott of Quentin Tarantino's upcoming film The Hateful Eight because the director marched with Black Lives Matter activists against police brutality last week.They are correct that it is not every cop. But Jesus Christ, how low is the bar? The brutality is, however, institutional. And the unions' knee-jerk defense of every police shooting, and the repeated failures to hold "bad" cops responsible are proof of that. The story of Ferguson was not a one-time shooting of a black teenager with his arms raised running away from the officer in that single community. It was the Department of Justice's findings against the tactics of the Ferguson P.D., accusing them of violating Constitutional rights and refusing to hold officers accountable.
Why do educated Americans refuse to comply with all police directives? Because of shit like this. Sexual assaults committed by police officers should not just be fire-able offenses. These are crimes that demand punishment in the criminal justice system.

NASA says there's a 99 percent chance that a 5.0-magnitude-- or bigger-- earthquake will hit Los Angeles between now and 2018. The epicenter is 20 miles southeast of downtown. A quake of 6.0 or more on the Richter scale is considered "large" and has a seismic energy yield of 15 kilotons. In well-populated areas, moderate damage can be expected even to a large number of well-built structures, Rams.
