that's really not about the cops man - more on judges being able to effectively use them as a hit squad (where police can be witting or unwitting) and the DA being able to fill in the blanks months after the fact
I understand what he's trying to say loud and clear....it's just HOW he says it that makes me feel embarrassed for him. Oof.
This guy lacks any sense of articulation.

In a special session called by Gov. Tony Evers to pass a package of bills on policing policies after a Kenosha police officer shot Jacob Blake, who is Black, seven times in the back, Republicans started and recessed in less than 30 seconds – satisfying requirements of the law that they meet.Amazing. I'm sure I'm missing a story here.
By The Frankman Go To PostAmazing. I'm sure I'm missing a story here.GOP have a super majority (IIRC) of seats despite only winning 45% of the popular vote.
They have been preventing the governor from doing anything meaningful because of it.
Gerrymandering and the Electoral College really are the biggest weapons for staying in power.

The police chief of Rochester, N.Y., and several of his department’s highest ranking officials resigned on Tuesday in the aftermath of the death of Daniel Prude, a Black man who suffocated after he had been placed in a hood by city police officers and pinned to the ground.The chief of police is black
I've come to terms that race of the officer basically doesn't matter anymore. They hold any perpetrator in immediate contempt the moment they make any kind of contact with them. And the moment that perpetrator acts remotely out of line, it almost feels like they're happy to use some force as a quick reminder of who's in charge.

By blackace Go To PostCan't wait for people to use this story as where was BLM for this kid?
Should be: “fuck maybe cops are shitty and we should do something about it”
But that would boost BLM so they just accept it and whataboutism it
One dude charged (assuming the one who actually shot the gun) with wanton endangerment? wtf is that?

Playing with fire with reckless abandon of someone's life, basically.
By The Frankman Go To PostIt wasn't even the officer whose bullets killed Breonna Taylor. What in the actual fuck?Yeah, they found a way so this indictment has nothing to do with her murder. It's like if I burned down a house but they are charging me for littering because I dropped the empty gas canister on someone's driveway on the way out.
Protests and marching have already started in Louisville. So far peaceful and nice to see about 90% masks at least...

The moment they went with the grand jury indictment you knew they weren't gonna do shit. That's the #1 tool in the DA disposal to avoid prosecution.
"Nothing we can do here, a jury of your peers said nuh-uh"

I mean, when the DA opposes homicide, surely they're not even trying to play a perception game?
Protestors have now reached the police station. Let's just say from the live feed things are not going well...
Waiaminute, the officers blocked the protestors on a random street and wouldn't let them cross. When some of them tried to go around the police they were arrested?

Basically, dude got charged for endangerment of white people and Bitch McConnell's bestie came out to tap dance. The farce continues.
This is fucked. More and more I am so disappointed in how this country's people handles things on both sides. From rioting to shootings of innocent lives to shootings of police officers to hillbilly gun totting militias. Fuck it all.
Wife and I have been talking about where could we see ourselves in 10 years time if shit doesn't improve here.

The fact that the police do whatever to protect their own and especially in minority cases has made this mess.
I don't agree with people getting hurt but I can't say this wasn't bound to happen.
By Xpike Go To Postat worst its teenagers on prom night energyno lol
Don't get it twisted, there are more dead protesters than anyone has bothered to count.
