No charges were filed against the officers. The police are investigating themselves. I predict they'll find that they did nothing wrong.

Edit: There's bodycam footage. Don't watch it unless you're prepared to deal with extreme anger towards those disgusting pigs. I don't think I've ever felt this angry and enraged in my life.

Is that what the American Dream is?

Working and paying taxes but getting kicked to the kerb to die if you dare to get sick without insurance?

That's just inhuman. Seriously are cops human? What kind of person can do something like this and then just go home like it's no big deal? Are they even aware this woman died? Do they care, feel remorse?

Did the Nazi concentration camp guards feel remorse? Some maybe a little. Most not at all. They were indoctrinated to obey orders unquestioningly and dehumanize their victims. Cops are no different.

Let's play a game I like to call "How would this American event be written about if it happened somewhere else?"

Here's my take: Biden regime's secret police murders woman that didn't pay up. Internal investigation finds they did nothing wrong.

Here's mine: "Biden regime publicly executes woman for being poor, denies doing anything wrong"

Remember what they did to Iran when a woman died by a stroke at the delegacy while doing rotine checking?

USA is the worst dictatorship nowadays.

This is why we shouldn't be worried about violent revolution. They are doing much worse to us than we would to them.

I saw the bodycam footage on reddit. Content warning for sure.

The USA is evil. There's no excuse for it.
