Remember that time the lady cop got off on the wrong floor and shot Botham Jean in his own living room? She only got 10 years for that. Same kind of stupid. Same kind of charge.

I think this is a good step. I know people will disagree with me. It’s NOT justice. It’s NOT enough. But it’s an important step.

im not satisfied. because she’s going to get off even on this.

1. An NYU study shows that increased revenue collection actually decreases the percentage of crimes that police departments solve.

This is the most scathing summation of the many things wrong with American policing. It’s a Judge Dredd dystopia. I look on the truth that the show The Wire espoused to us: Policing isn’t about improving a bad situation it’s about the cops justifying their existence with good stats.

Fuck this is good.  Thank you, Michael.

Awwwoooooeee! Lookit him in him dere suit, all dress up fo’ fancy folk.

Brodd is a pig’s pig.

Floyd survives his encounter with Creighton, but didn’t with Chauvin.

Sorry for the near-certain PTSD of this lady, but her being the center of this incident may help advance the restricted no-knock bill in the New York legislature.

None of that “You should have done” shit means anything. You can follow cops instructions exactly and they’ll still execute you.

The police departments don’t pay settlements, that comes out of the budget of the city or county that employs them.

Joe Scarborough covered this on his Republican-lite morning show, Morning Joe. And I suppose I will give him some credit for acknowledging what was directly in front of his face, as he was asking questions like, “How long has this been happening?” “How were body cameras ever even a debate?” and “Why do we keep seeing…

America’s problem with policing goes beyond the initial creation of police departments before the Political Era of policing. To this day, we reach for the lowest common denominator for officers (you can be a fucking officer with a GED), given them inconsistent and worthless training, and fail to screen out those that…
