Actually, we're not. The Justice Department wasn't investigating entire police departments before. Body cameras were not publicly supported by politicians before. Police misconduct was not scrutinized before.
So, no, little homie, we ain't in the same position as before. Technology is only half of the story. Just because a nikka gets shot on camera didn't mean it was on the five o'clock news. News stations been turning down footage of police brutality for years.
Go ahead and just bytch though. It probably makes you feel better because you ain't doing shyt.
