Destino Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 They broke his arm and note a police office was injured. 10 bucks says that injury is bull**** or at best something like a scraped knee. They then pepper sprayed him with a spit mask on. Let’s be clear here, this is torture. If you doubt that, you either lack imagination or you’ve mastered self deceit. It’s torture, plain and simple. Only after that, did they decide to drag him to a hospital and demand doctors perform a humiliating, risky, and invasive medical procedure. For purely official reasons, they’ll undoubtedly assure us. Maybe the problem is sociopaths have been successfully climbing the ladder in our justice system for some time. They now establish which traits are rewarded within police, jails, and prisons. Admit it, this would explain a lot. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Southern California city to destroy police shooting records LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Southern California city plans to shred more than 100 police shooting and internal investigation records ahead of a new state law that could allow the public to access the documents for the first time. The city of Inglewood made the decision at a city council meeting earlier this month, according to a report by The Los Angeles Times. The move is troubling to the civil liberties advocates who were behind the new law, which makes public internal investigations of officer-involved shootings, other major uses of force, and confirmed cases of sexual assault and lying while on duty. The law takes effect Jan. 1. Inglewood’s decision “undermines police accountability and transparency against the will of Californians,” Marcus Benigno, a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, said in a statement. “The legislature passed (the law) because communities demanded an end to the secrecy cloaking police misconduct and use of force,” he said. A spokesman for the Inglewood Police Department along with Inglewood’s city manager, attorney, clerk, four council members and Mayor James T. Butts did not respond to requests for comment. Although California law requires police departments to retain records of officer-involved shootings and internal misconduct investigations for five years, Inglewood has kept some records much longer than that. Some case files of police shootings date back to 1991. The city council approved of the destruction of records that have been in the police department’s possession — more than 100 cases — longer than required by law.

Here's the thing, for the loonnggeeesstttt time, "Murica" has been able to cloak itself in ignorance- I didn't know/ I never saw/ Well you didn't see what happened before the video started (one of my favs)- and in doing so enabled and tacitly approved of it all, ALL of it. Now, anytime anything goes down it is seen, instantly live streamed/recorded/uploaded/shared across the spectrum and an awful lot of those people are having that protection of willful ignorance stripped away. Used to be you could tell others "I didn't know..." when in your heart you liked it and touched yourself at the thought, but when you lose that cover story rationalization, you are kinda called out as an aficionado of cruelty porn. So yes, America understands, America has understood forever, the difference now is that America is being called out and being held accountable for that understanding. And a huge part of that is that they are being braced in their own homes by their own children. And they don't like it one little bit. To which I say own that ****! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Quote Judge Domenica Stephenson repeatedly said in her ruling Thursday that McDonald continued moving and holding a knife after being knocked to the ground by Officer Jason Van Dyke’s initial shots, suggesting he could have still been seen as a threat. The jury that convicted Van Dyke of second-degree murder and aggravated battery in October didn’t see it that way and the police dashcam video that was crucial to convicting Van Dyke appears to show that McDonald’s movements while lying on the street were largely caused by Van Dyke continuing to shoot him. Van Dyke shot McDonald 16 times. He is due to be sentenced Friday by a different judge. https://apnews.com/220ca2e510c94835971108cdaf3abe27?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP Edited January 18, 2019 by Cooked Crack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passepartout Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Wonder if the Justice Department will get involved as sometimes they do over civil rights violations? Chicago is a city in dire need of a clean up big time. From the police to that of gangs and drugs and build prisons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Granted, I'm basing this opinion on a portion of one sentence from the judge. But the video I'm seeing on CBS has the judge stating that "we cannot after the fact judge these officers". Really? We just had a trial so that a judge (who is also the jury) could rule that cops cannot be judged after the fact? Ever? How convenient. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) I just read about the Chicago cop when it piped up on my phone. If a 17 year old black kid shot a white guy 15 times while he was walking away he’d go away for the full 20. Actually they’d probably justify the 16 individual counts. I’d argue the cop should be held to a higher standard than a 17 year old. This is why things are ****ed up. The obvious and egregious don’t get fair treatment.

IIRC, that already happened and they simply cherry picked which recommendations they wanted to implement. No, it’s not a justice system, it’s a so-called justice system. #FTP 3 hours ago, Larry said: If only there had been a good guy with a gun. Fixed that for ya.

NoCalMike Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 What was up with that one trial, where the cop was called to a hotel, and ended up executing the guy who was weeping and pleading the entire time not to get shot & killed. Cop was barking out weird command like putting his legs forward, cross his legs, and crawl towards him. Dude's sweatpants started to come down so we went to pull them up. Shot 5 times. During the trial, jury only were allowed to be shown edited body cam footage, and were not allowed to be shown the "You're F***ed* inscription on the cops weapon. Of course immediately after trial the full cam footage is shown. Look I know cops have a tough job and it sucks that their lives are sometimes in grave danger when they are on assignment, but sometimes it feels like their lives are valued over pedestrians, even though you think it should be the other way around given the "to protect & serve" mantra. In a perfect world no one is getting hurt, shot, or killed in these situations, but in America life should not be as cheap as "he made a hand movement, so I felt my life was in danger." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) This case is a good example of why I say it was a strategic error for BLM to characterize this problem as a racial issue. While we are disproportionately affected by it, everyone is at risk and calling out the racial component allows the thugs in blue and their supporters to deflect from the core issue, i.e. the cops are way too willing to use force and there’s almost no accountability when they use force inappropriately or excessively.

The Sisko Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Defense: It’s such a stressful job, they were just blowing off a little steam and things went too far. Judge: Given your exemplary service record and your obvious regret and dismay over the loss of a fellow “brother” in blue, I sentence you to five years in protective custody at some minimum security joint. Eligibility for parole in two years. Prosecutor: But your honor, he killed a fellow cop, not just some civilian schlub. Judge: Very well, make that five years with eligibility for parole in three years. Justice. It’s what we do here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
