It may take some time for police to “get the memo,” though, so beware until then that police officers have been beating and arresting people who record them. In the land of the free.

One reason I admire Moyers so much is that although he doesn’t hold back in letting us know how bad things really are and why they got that way, he never gives up the struggle for social justice. He knows that despite enormous odds against them, people can create change for the better.
Great journalism is out there. You just have to search for it.
