The Justice Department will investigate the policies and operations of the Minneapolis Police Department, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced on Wednesday, a day after the former officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder in the death of George Floyd in a rare rebuke of police violence.
Investigators will seek to determine whether the Minneapolis Police Department engages in a pattern or practice of using excessive force, including during protests; whether it engages in discriminatory conduct; and whether its treatment of those with behavioral health disabilities is unlawful. They will also review the department's policies, training, supervision and use-of-force investigations, and whether its current systems of accountability are effective at ensuring that police officers act lawfully.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/21/us/justice-department-investigation-minneapolis-police.html
Not that anything will come of this...
By Dr Espi Go To PostLooks like I was wrong. Rather than brutally upholding the system regardless of consequences, they're trying the scapegoat method to make people complacent towards the system again.
Sorry blackace

By Perfect Blue Go To PostThe reactions of non- Americans to these stories is always entertaining.
What the hell
Republican legislators in Oklahoma and Iowa have passed bills granting immunity to drivers whose vehicles strike and injure protesters in public streets.... what the fuck
A Republican proposal in Indiana would bar anyone convicted of unlawful assembly from holding state employment, including elected office. A Minnesota bill would prohibit those convicted of unlawful protesting from receiving student loans, unemployment benefits or housing assistance.
Literally legalizing terrorist tactics
By reilo Go To Post… what the fuckGuess they are taking the never again* approach.

Sen. Rob Standridge, a Republican from Norman who wrote the bill, said it was prompted mostly by an incident in Tulsa last summer in which a pickup truck drove through a crowd gathered on a Tulsa interstate while protesting the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Several people were injured, including one who was paralyzed from the waist down after falling from an overpass, but the driver, whose family was in the car, was not charged.Listen to evil talk
“The kids cowered in the back seat because they feared for their lives,” Standridge said. “That’s what this bill is about.”
It's not like Biden's reforming scotus; time is right to erode as many rights of the lower class as possible before they get congress and the white house again
Republicans wat u doing? They’re gonna let’s Dems pass a second popular spending package without them in reconciliation and then they’re gonna use a shutdown as a means to threaten cuts which a good portion their base doesn’t want. What’s amazing is Dems can actually avoid the debt ceiling shit by a third reconciliation bill.
Reporter writes comprehensive article about the gangs and factions within the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. She attends their press conference and:
Market watchers are right to be wary. The median sale price of an existing home in the U.S. was $313,000 in February, up nearly 16 percent from a year earlier, when a 3 to 5 percent annual increase is considered healthy, according to a report from the National Association of Realtors, a trade group.
He also expects home prices to keep rising in the short term, because of more than a decade of sluggish housing construction, hobbled by restrictive zoning and high labor costs.RIP
Congrats to boomers like Fender for getting in early.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostDC statehood lets goooI'm not saying DC shouldn't be a state (if you pay taxes? Yea, get your reps in there) but the fact they are pushing for DC before Puerto Rico is so Washington.

Yea, get your reps in there) but the fact they are pushing for DC before Puerto Rico is so Washington.we could roll DC into maryland or virginia but fuck all that. places where black voters are at least still checked in on? that goes against the trend that has been running minorities out of DC at every opportunity lol
'its about representation' - even though DC disregards their long time voters on small shit every chance they get to be attractive for the new crowd
i remember an older article about the elections last year spelling out a lot of this stuff.... i'll dig it up later

I'm serious when I say ignoring Puerto Rico for statehood is mindnumbing. Even Trump supported it.

“Black voters want their voices to be heard. And they want to deliver those messages themselves,” said former D.C. lawmaker Charlene Drew Jarvis, who backs Goodwin. “Sometimes, their messages are delivered by others who have not actually heard the voice of the Black community.”
Ronald Thompson, a young activist from mostly Black Ward 8, said Black politicians don’t always champion the interests of that community: “As the saying goes, all skinfolk ain’t kinfolk.”
Thompson, 22, favors both Lazere and Batchelor and warns that centrist candidates will prevail unless the left mobilizes Black and Brown voters. “You only open the door to ridiculous criticism when you don’t do the work of trying to bring diverse voices to the table,” he said.
“There is a segment of the District within the Black community that I hear from who are not sure what the progressive agenda is, or whether the progressive agenda includes them,” said McDuffie, who is Black. “[People] are talking about bike lanes . . . while they’re struggling to pay their rent.”
Some longtime residents voiced that frustration at a recent campaign event with Orange, the former council member. He met with Black business owners on H Street NE, a historically Black corridor that burned in the 1968 riots and has gentrified, especially since the arrival of a streetcar.
“I’m here to support my D.C. people . . . making sure that our people, especially Black and Brown people, are being taken care of and not being pushed out of the city,” said Pam Williams, who owns an insurance business. “I’m just tired of a lot of the changes that are happening because White people are moving here. . . . It’s a hostile takeover.”
sounds familiar right? go team tho
Bike lanes is THE whitest of liberal issues. It's dumb. And speaking from experience living in Portland where they LOVE their fucking bike lanes, it's always been at the cost of black communities having their busy traffic veins decimated.
