I read this earlier. Total abuse of authority on the cops who issued the citation. Noise/nuisance ordinances almost always pertain to car stereos, loud music, or in the case of a department dwelling, loud arguing neighbors. I could not tell if the officers heard her or took the word of the white woman. Unless Michigan…
So my Salvadoran family is loud, we have that stereotype, and we own it. If you want to be heard in a conversation you need to be louder than the person that’s already talking. Sixteen of us were at a restaurant for someone’s birthday, and a Karen table of two complained to the manager we were being too loud. The…
Many racial stereotypes come from a bit of truth. For example, a lot of Black people are loud—which is to say, we…
I have mentioned this before and I will keep mentioning it; I, unbeknownst to me once tried to pay for some Altoids with a fake twenty.
It’s still not enough. It will never BE enough. The officers pulling this shit face no real consequences themselves, so they’ll just keep doing it. Nothing will change until the *officers* and their *union* are the ones who pay the price of fucking up and not the rest of society which has no say over officers being…
This video is from Thomas Frampton, the lawyer for the Green family. Mr. Green was represented by Richard M. Upton of the Federal Public Defenders Office-BR in the criminal proceedings.
I believe the money quote, from Federal Judge https://ballotpedia.org/Brian_Jackson_(Louisiana) in the opinion to dismiss with prejudice, reminds us that there’s a bunch more villainy here than just the cops:
And ALWAYS add a couple of zeros because this country doesn’t think Black lives, rights, property, dignity, health etc matter and they will fucking low-ball you.
Came here to say something very similar:
Only $35000 for violating the rights of two minors and an illegal (unconstitutional) search? That family must have hired a bargain basement lawyer. Hell, they had a case where it could be argued that the police sexually assaulted minors. How aren’t there two extra zeros on that settlement?
Protip: If your rights have…
The bigots who provide material for the weekly Clapbacks as well as the grey trolls who post their racist tripe on a consistently daily basis are grown adults. Why are they acting as if they are forced to read this website? Why don’t they realize they don’t have to consume any media (TV, websites, social media, music…
From the mouth of Baldwin himself.
I hope Carl B posted his Jan 6th tourism pics on facebook
Answering emails, tweets and DMs from pissed-off readers can take a huge toll on a person’s psyche, but what about…
If the police have no suspects, then them MFs is in on it.
This is interesting phrasing: “London’s Metropolitan Police has said that they don’t have any evidence so far that she was targeted or ‘had received any credible threats against her prior to this incident.’”
Given that an English cop was just found to be a serial killer and known public flasher, and his fellow cops responded to a vigil for his victims by pulling from the American playbook of beating up unarmed women, I’m gonna say that those cameras are probably turned off most of the time.
Man, this one hurts me deeply. I’ve been following her for a while now and she walks what she talks, staying connected to the black community and even starting her business to serve & feed them. “Oxford’s Black Panther”, “freedom fighter and Black activist”, I am sending positive vibes your way Queen Sasha Johnson;,…
Isn’t London covered in cctv cameras? They have no video, no clues, no witnesses, no ideas? Bullshit!
