I mean, they will do most of this to anyone reporting or witnessing a crime so its not hard to understand why they think this is OK.

Then this:

...which is really more of the same. The implication that contact with the criminal justice system legitimizes dehumanization. That the supposedly liberal New York Times found this an acceptable headline tells us way too much about who is really at the core of this.

The Case In Question.

As to no blaming the judge... that's sort of the problem. The system creates this paradox where people get screwed but nobody's to blame. It's basically the same as the "It's not the person who called the cops fault the black person walking through their neighborhood, they were just asking the cops to look into" leading directly into "It's not the cop's fault... they have to investigate things when people report" thing, but for the court side of things.

And no the Prosecutor didn't make the judge go on that guy like that just by giving her the case to preside over.

But no, the prosecutor is in no obligation to ask for crazy penalties.

A genuine conspiracy by doctor. To experiment on prisoners without their consent.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...t-covid-ivermectin?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Four inmates at an Arkansas jail have filed a lawsuit against the facility and its doctor after they said they were unknowingly prescribed ivermectin to treat Covid-19 as a form of “medical experimentation” despite US health officials warning that the anti-parasitic drug should not be used for that purpose.

The Arkansas’ chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on behalf of the men last week against Washington county jail, Washington county sheriff Tim Helder and jail physician Dr. Robert Karas. Last August, Helder revealed that the drug had been prescribed to patients with Covid-19.

“The lawsuit charges the defendants for administering ivermectin to incarcerated individuals without prior informed consent as to the nature, contents, or potential side effects of the drug,” the ACLU said in a statement last week.

The 3 Philadelphia police officers who opened fire into a crowd leaving a football game, wounding three bystanders and killing an 8 year old girl, have finally been charged.

Three police officers have been charged with manslaughter and reckless endangerment after firing their weapons in the direction of a crowd of people exiting a high school football game outside of Philadelphia, killing an 8-year-old girl and injuring three people.

A grand jury recommended the charges against the three Sharon Hill Police officers, Devon Smith, Sean Dolan and Brian Devaney, in the August 27 shooting that killed Fanta Bility. Murder charges previously filed against two Black teenagers for firing the gunshots that prompted the officers to shoot were also dropped Tuesday, according to a news release from the Delaware County District Attorney’s office.

Each officer was charged with 10 counts of reckless endangerment and one count of manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter, according the to the charging documents.

The girl was shot Aug. 27 as she and her family were leaving the game at Academy Park High School. The officers had been monitoring the crowd as it dispersed, heard gunfire about a block away, and then turned to see a vehicle heading toward them.

Mistakenly believing the car was involved in that shooting, the officers opened fire, striking the car multiple times, investigators said. Bullets flew past the vehicle, hitting four people, including Fanta, who died at the scene in her mother’s arms.

Cops heard gunfire about 50 yards away and unleashed a torrent of bullets into an approaching car, which turned out to be totally uninvolved.

The felony murder charges for the two teens who were shooting at one another have been dropped.

Small town in Alabama has transformed itself into a police fiefdom funded by traffic ticket shake downs:

Months of research and dozens of interviews by AL.com found that Brookside’s finances are rocket-fueled by tickets and aggressive policing. In a two-year period between 2018 and 2020 Brookside revenues from fines and forfeitures soared more than 640 percent and now make up half the city’s total income.

And the police chief has called for more.

The town of 1,253 just north of Birmingham reported just 55 serious crimes to the state in the entire eight year period between 2011 and 2018 – none of them homicide or rape. But in 2018 it began building a police empire, hiring more and more officers to blanket its six miles of roads and mile-and-a-half jurisdiction on Interstate 22.

...

A department of nine officers in a 1,253-person town is far larger than average. Across the country, the average size of a force is one officer for every 588 residents, according to a Governing Magazine study that examined federal statistics.

Yet the town with no traffic lights collected $487 in fines and forfeitures in 2020 for every man, woman and child, though many of those fined were merely passing by on I-22.

Town has a single store, a Dollar General, and a volunteer fire department. They also have a police MRAP, SWAT trained cops, and two drug sniffing dogs.

Update: The Deputy has resigned, another horrible victim of... oh I can't even say it... CANCEL CULTURE (Gasps from the room, the piano stops playing, a monocle falls in a teacup, a woman passes out on a fainting couch, an old Spanish Woman makes the sign of the cross).

Racist ******* whined about his "Free Speech" being violated every step out the door which I hope hit on the way out.

Search this ******** name in 6 months and I'd bet cash money he has another police job at a nearby department. Resigning often forgoes a firing for cause and negative discipline record.

You aren't wrong, but when he gets a job in some crappy 2000 population town in deep Appalachia it isn't coming up on google. So maybe price that in to any odds you offer.
 
Cops really are some of the most gullible people on the planet:

The NOPD put up a social media alert about the dangers of roving gangs of burglars pretending to be public health workers handing out masks. These masks were doped with super secret knockout chemicals that would allow these burglars to loot your home.

If this sounds absolutely idiotic on its face and almost certainly untrue, you're smarter than the cops.

Redmond officer who killed woman had been fired from another law-enforcement agency

The Redmond police officer who shot and killed Andrea Churna, an unarmed 39-year-old mother as she tried to surrender to officers in September 2020, had been dismissed as a probationary Whatcom County sheriff’s deputy 14 months earlier for poor performance, according to records.

Daniel Mendoza, 26, struggled with virtually every aspect of police work during his seven months as a probationary sheriff’s deputy, unable to recite statutes, routinely getting lost while responding to calls, writing muddled reports and failing tests on topics ranging from when using force was appropriate to the county’s pursuit policies.

...

“He does not have a working knowledge of common RCWs that he should have a strong knowledge of coming out of the academy. Examples of this have been the definition of ‘necessary’ “ — a key component in the law governing when police can use deadly force.

“Every recruit is required to recite [the definition] verbatim regularly at the academy, yet he could not,” Chadwick wrote.

It sounds like there's a lot of interesting backstory there, I hope more comes out.

Whatcom County let him go even after giving him remedial training so he could pass the academy (on the 3rd try). It's nice to see that one department didn't go with the sunk costs fallacy, at least. It's just a shame that another department hired him.

It's particularly shameful that he remains employed despite his history being known and the fact that he proved beyond any doubt his incompetence by shooting an unarmed woman while she was prone on the ground.
 
Video released of a cop chasing down and running over an unarmed man with his SUV. The man suffered serious injuries, though a grand jury decided that this was not criminal:

It's not aggravated assault or attempted murder when the cops do it.

The cop was reported to be driving 45 mph when he rammed the unarmed man.

One report claimed that the leg injury may have been caused by the bike wreck. Despite the fact that they have video of him vigorously running without any sign of a limp.
 
You gotta love when he approaches the man he just mowed down with his car doing 45 mph he first pulls out his taser then switches to the gun going "I'm going to shoot you!"

"You did this to yourself". No, YOU did this to him.

This whole video has the same "look what you made me do to you" vibe that domestic abusers usually give.

What a horrible despicable human being.
