A heart wrenching line stands out from a must read piece by #RobinGivhan @washingtonpost

After they murdered #TyreNicols-- in the video, their loud panting is palpable...all 5 over 200 lbs. Givhan writes this about their "exhaustion"😡

"It’s exhausting work beating another man down, breaking his spirit so that one can stand over him, pounding the life out of an unarmed man & calling it one’s livelihood."

Indeed! Every day police in the U.S. behave this way and call it their "livelihood"
