    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...

    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...

    What a 'defund the police' plan in Seattle might look like

    In Seattle, there is a veto proof majority of the City Council that has vowed to cut 50% of the police department. The King County Executive Dow Constantine has also declared that the Seattle jail will be closed and replaced with a center for Community programs. In addition, all youth detention...

    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.

    No Knock Warrants and the EMT

    I couldn't find a thread on this. I think it deserves it's own one. "Breonna Taylor: Black healthcare worker 'shot at least eight times by police' in own home, lawsuit says." A no knock warrant at the wrong address. I mention it here, because I've often wondered what happens if a citizen...

    The behaviour of UK police officers.

    This is the UK sleep walking into major problems whereby a 47 year old female police officer, who does not look like she could fight her way out of a wet paper bag, tazers a 64 year old man, who also does not look like he could do much in a fight...

    The behaviour of US police officers

    That someone is posting on a thread, asking for advice on how not to get shot by the police during a routine traffic stop, is evidence that the behaviour of the police in the USA is not what should be expected of a police officer. I hate referring to those people in uniform as cops or police...

    Milwaukee police arrest woman for not agreeing with their story

    In Milwaukee not agreeing with police fantasies is a good way to get in jail. Even if you are a 75 year old woman. The setup: Joy McFarlin was driving her pickup truck when a car ran a red light and T-boned her. With her driver side door impassable and dangerous she tried to get out through...
