DMC Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I haven't mentioned Daniel Prude's killing because I've been ashamed it happened in the city I was born and raised in, but this kinda redeems it - Naked protesters demand action after Daniel Prude’s killing: Quote Naked except for “spit hoods” in a reference to the killing of Daniel Prude, several protesters sat outside Rochester’s police headquarters Monday morning to push for police accountability, local news outlets reported. Photos and video showed the demonstrators, some with “Black Lives Matter” written on their backs, sitting silently with their hands behind them, on a rain-slicked street outside the city Public Safety Building. The Democrat & Chronicle reported that after a time, the demonstrators were given blankets and left in cars. Like the D&C credit at the end. Read that paper every morning from the ages 10-18.

Ran Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 45 minutes ago, The Great Unwashed said: An eyewitness is claiming that the joint task force hunting Michael Reinoehl in Washington essentially just executed him on the street. To be fair, same article says two other eyewitnesses say they saw Reinoehl open fire on the police. We'll learn more in time, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 PKD accurately predicting crime in FLA: https://projects.tampabay.com/projects/2020/investigations/police-pasco-sheriff-targeted/intelligence-led-policing/ Quote Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco took office in 2011 with a bold plan: to create a cutting-edge intelligence program that could stop crime before it happened. What he actually built was a system to continuously monitor and harass Pasco County residents, a Tampa Bay Times investigation has found. First the Sheriff’s Office generates lists of people it considers likely to break the law, based on arrest histories, unspecified intelligence and arbitrary decisions by police analysts. Then it sends deputies to find and interrogate anyone whose name appears, often without probable cause, a search warrant or evidence of a specific crime. They swarm homes in the middle of the night, waking families and embarrassing people in front of their neighbors. They write tickets for missing mailbox numbers and overgrown grass, saddling residents with court dates and fines. They come again and again, making arrests for any reason they can. One former deputy described the directive like this: “Make their lives miserable until they move or sue.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueMetis Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Given what Trump said prior to the killing this is some real "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" shit, except without the deniability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Absolutely deplorable. Pre-emptive strike on the public -- to be massing state police forces ahead of (presumably) no charges after a murder by that same state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(AP) — A Kentucky grand jury on Wednesday indicted a single former police officer for shooting into neighboring apartments but did not move forward with charges against any officers for their role in Breonna Taylor’s death.

KingintheNorth4 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 A literal fucking apartment wall recieved more justice than Breonna Taylor. If Louisville burns because of this, GOOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 It's not surprising given Kentucky's laws. This was the expected outcome. It is a travesty of justice, but I don't see how the grand jury could have decided any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Two police officers shot in Louisville. Reported in stable condition, a suspect has been arrested and is in custody. Edit: pure speculation but you'd think if the suspect was a protestor they'd be screaming that from the rooftops, or that they would be in the morgue and not in custody. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a white supremacist militia member / Rittenhouse type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatCoward Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 The shame is, someone fucked up. And now they have got a death on their hands for the rest of their life. As well as probably losing their job. I keep drilling it into my staff, when we fuck up it really matters, so do what you are trained to do. They still cut corners, drives me nuts.
