A Nebraska state senator has stated that the epidemic of police brutality in America is a bigger threat than terrorism.
Senator Ernie Chambers, a longtime outspoken official in the state, was speaking at a hearing on gun ownership. Chambers stated that the only reason he would want to own a gun would be to protect himself from the police.
In comments that have angered critics, Chambers said “My ISIS is the police,” reasoning that “the police are licensed to kill us — children, old people.”
Chambers, Nebraska’s longest-serving state senator, pointed out that you do not have to look beyond the US to find a bigger daily threat to the lives of Americans.
“I wouldn’t go to Syria, I wouldn’t go to Iraq, I wouldn’t go to Afghanistan, I wouldn’t go to Yemen, I wouldn’t go to Tunisia, I wouldn’t go to Lebanon, I wouldn’t go to Jordan, I would do it right here,” Chambers said, urging “Nobody from ISIS ever terrorized us as a people as the police do daily.”
Indeed, in the past three months almost 300 Americans have been killed at the hands of police, according to estimates. That figure amounts to three people killed by cops every day.
Recent reports drawn from U.S. Department of State figures indicate that Americans are 58 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a terrorist.
