I think most cops are good. Like most institutions though the bad ones tend to be the ones who rise in power. Many of the ones who uphold the status quo aren’t so much okay with it as they are afraid of the consequences if they tried to change things.

Oh shit! I’m gonna get my ass beat because some cop is going to think I’m a bald man.

“Resisting or delaying an officer”? Can someone please explain that one to me?

That’s just not true.
 
My company (a large IT company), runs background checks and obtains both arrest and conviction records. They show arrests and convictions as separate line items. Here are a few sources. Some states do limit use of arrest-only records, but many do not.

my favorite part is the wording: “suspicion of resisting or delaying an officer”

This is such utter bullshit. A couple of cops who are comically incompetent detain the wrong person and, even though they were completely in the wrong, because she wasn’t cooperative enough she still gets arrested. And you wonder why so many people just don’t trust the police. I’m firmly of the mind that most cops are…

Ultimately, the teen was arrested on suspicion of resisting or delaying an officer and aggravated assault on an officer.

And every goddamn bit of the officer’s account (of accosting, threatening with animal attack, detaining, assaulting, and allowing an animal attack on an innocent woman) is written up to imply guilt, of something, on the victim’s part, right down to describing her act of ‘trying to go home from the store’ as fleeing…

Holy shit. This story has everything. Racism, essentialism, police brutality, masculinization/defeminization of black women, etc...

Of course, the flip side of the argument is that newspapers, even in their decline, were basically the only place that was willing to pay money for actual journalism. Minus newspapers, the future is basically a mix of propaganda, partisan TV media, and Embrace Debate: Politics.

I should have probably said “average adult”

Why are these right-wing morons so obsessed with ‘virtue-signalling’? Like, do they even understand what it means?

In March, Hutchinson signed sweeping legislation allowing concealed handguns to be carried at state colleges, some bars, government buildings and the state Capitol.

Nope no gun problem here

If a Muslim was the shooter Trump would be all over this. Like white on rice.

Boy, it sure is a good thing we don’t have a gun problem in this country.

Does Trump have anything to say about how this situation could be avoided?

So, this is the fascist playbook at its most naked —everyone look at this carefully, please. Random grown, young men, in the prime category for perpetrating terrorist activities, sail easily into the US from Saudi Arabia, Chechnya, Egypt, and the Sudan. Their immigration goes largely unchecked. Instead, the most…

Well, you fragile menfolk can all sleep easy tonight, knowing you’ve been successfully protected from a group of girls who might have otherwise bled all over you. BOOOOOOO~OOO SCARY SCARY FEEEEEEMAAAALES!! COMIN’ TO GET YOUUUUUU, DONNIE SMALLHANDS!!
