Above is a link to an article about a police shooting of a national guardsman during a traffic stop he was unarmed and hands on the steering wheel too many times since I have been home I hear about vets being harassed beaten or like in this case fatally shot by police this can not continue to be ignored police brutality is rising something more needs to happen to the men responsible other than a two week paid leave police should be detained and held in prison until the investigation  is carried such as any citizen would be if they were to commit any of the crimes police officers commit every day I'm hoping I can use this page to get the word out about and hope something will be done
