As far as I'm concerned they did.

No, I agree there. But I mean: one of more cops intentionally shot and killed children because of any number of reasons. Like to cover up some other fuck up.

Oh I totally understood what you meant. I'm just saying IMO they're basically morally equal at this point. The actions the cops took were very deliberate, far beyond any mere negligence, and close enough to be as good as their having sat around carrying out executions themselves.

I consider the local PD to have actively and deliberately murdered those children. With a full hour to listen to what they did and know what they did, I consider this at minimum second degree or quite arguably first degree murder, rather than a case of negligent homicide or manslaughter.

I have extremely strong feelings about the bystander effect. Literally (yes, literally literally) triggering.

Where we're at is that "some well-regulated genius in the Uvalde PD decided to use a child bystander's head as backstop and predictably whiffed, and then the entire police department coordinated to make sure nobody could accidentally find that out while trying to save their own childen" is a way kinder version of events than my previous read on the situation.

"He can't have said it like it sounds out of context."

...

Oh wow no it sounds so much worse in context.

Apparently the cops have enlisted a biker gang (consisting of, what a surprise, ex-cops) to force journalists out.

WaPo: Three Tempe Police officers watch man drown in reservoir, point blank telling him they're not going to help.

I'd say waterboard them.

*sigh*

But I know it just wouldn't do any good.

So here's a thing about that:

My cousin once jumped in that lake to save a drowning woman.

He was just a kid at the time, a few weeks shy of his 16th birthday.

He didn't hesitate. He didn't worry about the risk to himself. He wasn't a cop or a firefighter (though he was on the high school swim team).

I suspect he's got a few things to say about the Tempe PD right now. And he has some firsthand experience dealing with them as a Black man.

It's also important to note that the police didn't save the dog, a civilian bystander did.

Meanwhile, up in Canada...

Newfoundland woman woke to find male RCMP officers let themselves in, questioned 11-year old daughter

Cops were looking for a missing 17-year old girl with no relation to anybody in that house whatsoever. Claim someone told them "That house."
Pike said that when the officers left, her 11-year-old daughter, Nevaeh, came up from her bedroom in the basement and said the policemen had been in there. Nevaeh said the officers woke her up by shining a flashlight in her face and asking questions about the missing girl.

“(They) said, ‘Why didn’t you tell your daughter that it was just the police?”’ Pike said about her conversation at the detachment.

“And I said, ‘What do you mean it was just the police?’ It’s not going to help her sleep any better knowing it was just the police in her bedroom.”

hit and run tore off the bumper of my partner's car as we were trying to back out of a parking space; got out and yelled to try to flag them down (their window was down) while getting my phone out to get their license plate number but they just sped off

deputy who came by when we called to report the hit and run basically said "you were backing out of the space, so you're at fault, and i'm not even going to file a report despite you giving me their license plate number"

cool cool cool abolish cops

LOL, TPS trying to get their umbrellas out before the shit hits the fan

Toronto police warns officers: Brace for ‘challenging’ reaction to new race-based data on force, strip searches
Toronto police are set to release race-based statistics on officer use of force and strip-searches on Wednesday; the results will “lead some people to question the hard work you do every day,” an internal memo warns.

:mystery:

Same article mentions stats from an external audit on internal sexual harassment also dropping today. Hoo hoo!
