    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

    Split Thread Akron police shoot unarmed man 60 times

    This one in Akron will probably warrant a thread on its own. My first info on it was the released bodycam footage. It looked pretty standard until the end, when (already verified) eight police officers shot an unarmed man at least 60 times. I thought the chief said "16 times" even though I'd...

    Being the victim of an assault while black

    A black hotel clerk had to call police to help eject a drunk and unruly guest who refused to leave the premises. Half an hour later that same man returned and rushed behind the counter to assault the clerk. That clerk, Raymond Rachal, managed to get the upper hand in the unarmed skirmish and...

    George Floyd trial #2 - Kueng, Lane, Thao

    The three cops who were with Derek Chauvin are currently on trail. Their fates are much less cut and dry. Lane in particular probably has a real chance at getting off. 1:It was his first day in the field. 2: Chauvin was Lane's Field Training Officer (FTO) 3: Lane asked twice if they should...

    Merged Copaganda/Torturing the English language whenever a cop kills someone

    AP style guide: A fine tradition of American journalism is to absolutely abuse the human language when writing about how a cop caused someone's death. Seems like a fine place to collect them: How many times do you have to read this to figure out what happened...

    Cont: The behaviour of US police officers - part 2

    Someone had mentioned that there needs to be laws in order to deal with the specific issue of police brutality. Perhaps not, seems we just need a willingness to prosecute under existing laws. Chauvin and his three accomplices have just been charged by the feds for criminal civil rights...

    The Derek Chauvin/George Floyd Murder Trial

    I don't know if this belongs here or in the Trials and Errors category, so feel free to move. This trial deserves a stand alone thread. Jury selection has just begun and there have been some interesting updates, such as the following...

    Police shooting, UK

    A policeman has been shot and killed in the UK (the first such incident for several years). What's particularly bizarre about this is that the shooter was in custody in a police station at the time, with his hands cuffed behind him. He apparently retrieved a revolver hidden in his clothes (he...

    "A black man has been shot dead by homeless outreach police in San Clemente, California, after reportedly being stopped for jaywalking. On Wednesday two Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) deputies, who were part of the city’s homeless outreach team, approached a man who is thought to...

    Ed Indictment in Breonna Taylor case.

    Just announced, one of the officers was indicted for “reckless endangerment” for apparently shooting into adjacent apartments. None of the officers actually involved in the shooting were charged, the investigation showed they were acting properly. This has been pretty apparent from the...

    Having a mental health event while white

    Sorry about the title. It fits the general theme though. It happened in Melbourne, Australia yesterday. https://www.9news.com.au/national/epping-arrest-man-allegedly-kicked-in-the-head-by-police-officer/7b6ef2e6-eca5-4a45-ad6e-9d6417a017bf A couple of disclosers. I know the family involved...

    If the cops don't run you off the road, they'll shoot you in the back.

    There doesn't seem to be a thread about the most recent atrocity: Cops pump at least seven into the back of an unarmed man reaching into his car. Without the video, cops could get away with claiming he was fighting or waving a weapon...

    Unconstitutional actions by fededal police in Portland?

    I can't verify the video, but if it's true - is this action constitutional? https://twitter.com/sparrowmedia/status/1283436911307218948 There seems no way of identifying the officers - no ID numbers that I could see, just "Police" patches.

    Pulling a Gun and Running from the Sheriff While Hispanic?

    Just in time for Juneteenth, another officer involved killing in Southern California. This one might not count because the victim doesn't appear to be African American, although he is a POC. Also, no word on the color of the officer's skin. Developing story. Stay tuned.

    Trump Supporters: Can you defend this?

    Today Trump tweeted: I find it despicable. What about you? Can you justify it? Non-supporters: Please refrain and give the supporters a day or two to answer. I'd very much appreciate it. You can discuss in the general Trump thread.

    Dancing in public while black

    Summer's here, but police in Alameda, CA are evidently not ready for a brand new beat. Watkins, who had not done anything illegal, was eventually released - after being cited for resisting arrest. Because we obviously don't got nothing on him but we're still going to give him a rap sheet and...
