To be fair, they looked just like those suspects in that crime that happened at that place, so the officers had to make sure they couldn’t flee while they double-checked.

Black people aren’t afforded such compassion. We must be “perfect” and play by their “rules” 100% of the time. Anything less, and we are seen as no good criminals who deserve the fully extended punishment of the “law” (which was/is designed to benefit white supremacy).

A sense of scale would be fucking great here.

Not to mention that other illicit vendors whose skin tones may be significantly lighter than these unfortunate guys usually receive citations.

The old stop and frisk all black people policy. And white people are still upset it was ruled unconstitutional.

“Okay kids, did you know you needed a permit for this because the Mall is a National Park? You didn’t? Okay, now you do. So nice try, move along, stay cool today.”

Dear DC-Area U.S Park Police:

I used to work down at 7 World Trade Center at 250 Greenwich street in Manhattan. That’s Tribeca.

Not one good cop. Not. One.

I’d make the eye candy dude on the team a grownup baby Oscar from GB2.

I seriously thought Kristen Wiig could have been perfect as Spengler’s daughter and playing a scientist inheriting to that quirky mantle he had...but the end product we got with Feig...I seriously tried with the Extended Cut, but it didn’t mesh well.

Because he was actually fired this time, it will be much harder for him to get another police job. He was allowed to resign from his first police position and that’s why Cleveland was able to hire him.

In theory there is a database of police officers that have been “decertified” or whatever the fuck weasel language they use to indicate that a cop was so bad at their job they were removed for cause. But of course not every department reports their bad officers to it, nor does every police department use it as part of…

Too true. Sometimes I wonder how we keep up with as much as we do. After so many, these stories can take such a toll on the body and mind.

It happens so often with these white cops who “fear for their lives” and yet so often manage to shoot unarmed men and women of color who are running away from them - that it’s found that they’ve been dismissed from previous LEO positions for previous use of excessive force or drug use or “emotional instability” that…

They want to make clear that killing a child - seconds after arriving on scene, doesn’t matter all that much because the child was black. I really can’t see any other explanation. The police Union can fight discipline all they like, it doesn’t prevent them from telling us that discipline was being considered, though…

I had forgotten all about that.

What a bunch of fucking heroes.

I guess ICE is getting two new Stormtroopers.
