If my dad was going to give someone a monetary gift - like for a birthday - he’d hand them $50.  And then he’d hand them another $3 and say “that’s for the card I didn’t buy”.

^This! Wearing a suit or blazer makes me a particular target! It’s always some variation of “Hello, Sister...”, “Oooo, your eyebrows are so pretty!“ which are the opening gambits for: Black Muslims in bowties selling bean pies, The Final Call or tryna holla; any age Black Man selling ALL the multi-level marketing…

I absolutely HATE the overly charismatic men that I call ‘agenda negroes’.

Damon, “everyone” doesn’t love all that shit!

Your honorable mention is funny because this post by Panama that made me a fan of VSB.

Where are the NRA lawyers? Aren’t they going to save the day for Kenneth Walker, a law-abiding, gun-carrying member of society who was standing up to tyranny?

This scared me for another reason: They can get around body cameras by simply making up a division within that unit? Of all the fucked up loophole bullshit I’ve heard, then any department can get away with this shit by saying they were from a different division! Instead of being called a unit, they can say they were…

But try and get them to show up at 1am if your shit has been stolen.

What happened to Walker’s 2nd amendment rights and “good guy with a gun” pardon?

Cops, in all departments, should wear body cams AND have them turned on each and every time they interact with the public - you know, the folks who pay their salaries. Cops that don’t wear body cams or don’t have them turned on during interactions should automatically be scrutinized by a public citizens board who have…

Yeah but the no history of criminal (EMTs usually can't have felony convictions), a witness contradicting the police, and no drugs being found will do quite well in court. Dumb motherfucker.

Sam Aguiar, an attorney representing Taylor’s family, said officers were looking for someone else entirely and that suspect had already been arrested in a separate raid before the shooting occurred.

Like you said, they’ve got money for tanks, helicopters, assault rifles, night vision goggles and all the others toys they saw while playing Call of Duty and didn’t get for christmas, but they don’t have the funds for body cams.

This whole story made me sick to my damn stomach. Breonna should be alive and those cops are lucky only one of them got shot in the leg. All over products that people are willingly buying and consuming. But this shit will continue to happen as long as most of our country is okay with innocent people being shot dead…

There is zero reason whatsoever for not having body cams on police at all times. None. “Oh but the cost” no shut the fuck up. My way ex-urb and almost completely mayo area has a fucking SWAT TANK. I don’t ever want to hear that accountability costs too much.  Any police department that insists they can’t afford…

“a thing we will all have to take their word for since they weren’t wearing body cameras because they were members of the department’s Criminal Interdiction division and, for reasons unexplained, officers in that division don’t wear body-cams”

This is scary shit, suspending jury trial is suspending habeas corpus. We need to be watching this shit.

I’m not going to get into the legality of video trials, but I will leave this here:
