Re: Our Boys In Blue
Chauvin found guilty on all charges.
(Heard it live seconds ago, it'll be all over the place before long I'm sure.)

Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder.
Whoops, ninja'ed while I was finding a link. Well, if I gotta repeat something, at least it's...well, I think calling it "good news" perhaps oversells the bare fucking minimum, but at least it's better news.

Hoping for the maximum possible sentencing.
How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.

Re: Our Boys In Blue
As jaded as I am by the horrors of the seemingly endless stream of police murders, I literally yelled "OH FOR FUCK'S SAKES", on seeing that the latest such headline read "California man dies after being pinned to the ground by officers for five minutes".

New York Police Union Tells NYPD End Of Qualified Immunity Will Force Officers To... Act Lawfully
Cloaked in language that suggests law enforcement officers should do less law enforcement until the legal pendulum swings firmly back in their favor, the SBA explicitly tells officers how to avoid being sued. And it's a really simple fix that doesn't need to rely on deliberate work slowdowns or underenforcement.As a direct result of the passage of this law, and the unavailability of the defense of qualified immunity under its provisions, we advise that you proceed with caution when taking any police action which could lead to physical engagement with any person, and avoid physical engagement to the greatest extent possible while also assuring your own safety and the safety of others. Also, you are strongly cautioned against engaging in any stop & frisk (unless doing so for your own or others’ safety), search of a car, residence, or person unless you are certain that you are clearly and unequivocally within the bounds of the law . . .
Re: Our Boys In Blue
NYPD has been having a time of it, and I love it. Complaining that without marijuana charges they can't harass people for no reason. Complaining decriminalizing prostitution. Why, if it goes on like this there will barely be any use for cops at all, and then where will you be?!

Re: Our Boys In Blue
There are three big stories involving cops in the local surrounding area and then I go on Twitter and see Springfield made national news because cops stole and spilled a man's daughter's ashes.
Re: Our Boys In Blue
Ha ha I have nothing but searing red hatred for people who talk like that in a business context. I hope they get sniped.

Nothing says connecting with the youth like a slang term as old as I am (mid thirties).

It's used in Soopa Feen (released 2000!), which definitely confirms it was already old enough to be a joke by then.

There's slang terms and then there's descriptive terms.

Re: Our Boys In Blue
The even funnier thing is that no one ever used "po po" as a neutral term, let alone a complimentary one.

Roxane Gay:
My goodness. 270 months in prison for Derek Chauvin, can never own firearms again, must register as a predatory offender upon release. George Floyd is still dead.
It's just a conflicted emotional response in that it's rare for a police officer to receive this kind of sentence but I don't know that there is a satisfying or acceptable sentence for this kind of crime.
