Well I mean it doesn't mean they're going to start killing people.
It means...
Um, it means...
There's nothing else it could possibly mean. Uh, the police are planning to kill people, you guys.

Nah. Just a cultural milestone in police pride. Society has finally made enough social progress that they feel safe coming out of the closet.

I hate to repeat myself, but the whole phrase is "a few bad apples spoil the whole barrel." And we're way past just a few.

Re: Our Boys In Blue
Yet I still cannot shake this feeling of revulsion at the laughter and applause that the actual officers engaged in during 45's tirade.
Re: Our Boys In Blue
Yeah that was fucking disgraceful, and an affirmation of basically everyone's worst assumptions.

Re: Our Boys In Blue
There are some people in the video, like this one woman over to the right of Trump that you can see nervously laughing and only very lightly clapping because they are in a room of people applauding and he's the President, but it's still not a great look for cops.
But here's the thing, we know a lot of cops are assholes and I honestly think they always will be, even in a society that is healthy. What is more shocking to me is that you have a President who is so populist, he'll attempt to appeal to the basest and least admirable emotions of the police force. As disgusting a display as that whole room is putting on, Trump still manages to be the grossest thing in it by a noticeable margin.

NPR: ICE detains American citizen for over three years without charge or legal representation. When he is finally released, he attempts to sue for compensation only to be denied because he was led in custody long enough for the statute of limitations to run out.
Guess what colour his skin was!
The article also says that similar situations are inflicted on over 600 US citizens per year.

Hm, well I suppose he was probably denied medical attention too.

Re: Our Boys In Blue
So, St. Louis is bracing for impact in the Jason Hockley case, putting up barricades and such in case of massive rioting.
If you haven't heard, Hockley was a cop who 1) chased a fleeing suspect, after saying "Going to kill this motherfucker, don’t you know it," 2) rushed out of his car with a personally owned AK-47 pistol, 3) shot the unarmed guy five times point blank and then 4) planted a handgun in the victim's car that only had the cop's DNA on it.
Can't wait to see how the defence gets him off (Hockley waived a jury trial - this is Judge-only)!
O/U on how much of St. Louis gets burned down?

It's Jason Stockley. You got the name wrong.

Re: Our Boys In Blue
Not Guilty verdict in Jason Stockley case
My initial unthinking gut reaction was "I hope they fucking burn St. Louis to the ground".
I mean fuck off, this is beyond ridiculous.
EDIT: The Judge even waited for the Cardinals to be on a two-week road trip to announce the verdict and to warn all the local authorities (my buddy who does appeals in MO says he got a notification this morning that the State Supreme court would be closed tomorrow and rightly guessed that meant the verdict was coming down today). They knew this was coming and they couldn't be bigger dicks about it.

Re: Our Boys In Blue
A couple other facts.
In MO, in a judge trial, the Judge can choose to find the defendant guilty of a lesser charge. So it's not a case of the prosecutor overreaching by asking for Murder One. Stockley wasn't just found innocent of Murder One, he was found innocent of all applicable charges, including Manslaughter.
They didn't even fucking get him on planting evidence, FFS.
Seriously, fuck this Judge with a combine harvester.

Regarding whether the victim possessed a gun to justify his fears of getting shot (despite the only gun in the victim's car having ONLY the officer's DNA on it): "Finally, the Court observes, based on its nearly thirty years on the bench, that an urban heroin dealer not in possession of a firearm would be an anomaly."
"The Court finds the State's contention that Stockley planted the handgun found in the Buick is not supported by the evidence."
Seriously, fuck this Judge with a combine harvester.
