Re: Cops 9: You Are What Now?

Just sick. I too have cops in my family and I think they’re all rotting.

“ WATCH: A Philadelphia police staff inspector received cheers and applause from dozens of officers before turning himself in on charges stemming from the alleged assault of a protester. The police inspector, Joseph Bologna, was charged with aggravated assault after a viral video showed him striking a protester with a baton as crowds were dispersed. The student he hit suffered serious bodily injury, including a large head wound that required treatment in a hospital while under arrest.”

Holy crap!

See stuff like that is why the anti cop movement isn't ending. The cops aren't hiding their hatred of citizens anymore unless it's a photo op.

The Democratic party, which I will vote for STRAIGHT TICKET this year and likely every remaining year of my life, is in part a mechanism for preserving the status quo and ensuring no real change ever happens. Many Democratic voices will sell you on the "if we stop murdering blacks that will make middle class whites nervous" line.

People who benefit from the status quo will "compromise" by trading the lives of those who are harmed by it, for the opportunity of spending years in power doing nothing for fear that actual change might endanger their rentier status.

Comfortable whites always have REASONS for not listening to poor minorities. It is the job of the rest of Democrats to take the party away from them and use it as a tool for radical change. Either they have nowhere to go or they will migrate to the GOP and moderate it.

Win/win.

For someone who recognizes the importance of campaigning in the middle and governing on the left once you win, it's shocking you fail to recognize how "abolish the police" is god awful campaigning and a complete unforced error when you'll need the upper middle class suburban women vote to win.

I do find it cute that the Rednecks seem to think they are the only ones with guns...

I am sure they were just building their case before they arrest her. Some retraining ought to fix that...

Read the Star Tribune article...it will tell you everything you need to know about the Third Precinct.

edit: Here is enough if you dont want to click it:

Long before former officer Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, the Third Precinct in south Minneapolis had a reputation for being home to police officers who played by their own rules.

One officer kicked a handcuffed suspect in the face, leaving his jaw in pieces. Officers beat and pistol-whipped a suspect in a parking lot on suspicion of low-level drug charges. Others harassed residents of a south Minneapolis housing project as they headed to work, and allowed prostitution suspects to touch their genitals for several minutes before arresting them in vice stings.

These and more substantiated incidents, detailed in court records and police reports, help explain a saying often used by fellow cops to describe the style of policing practiced in the Third: There’s the way that the Minneapolis Police Department does things, and then there’s the way they do it “in Threes.”

Between 2007 and 2017, the city paid out $2.1 million to settle misconduct lawsuits involving Third Precinct officers. Judges have thrown out cases for “outrageous” conduct of the officers, and prosecutors have been forced to drop charges for searches found to be illegal, according to court records.

John Oliver's last show was riveting, informative, and enraging.

I have not made myself clear. I don't advocate "abolish the police" as campaigning. I advocate it as policy. Biden's twatwaffling is perfect campaigning and I applaud it.

The idiots don't deserve truth in campaigning. We tried that and they ran to Reagan and Dubya's fantasy worlds. From now on we give em exactly what they want on the stump and then we govern exactly as we ought. There is no logical connection between the two.

The GOP has done this for forty years. The voters never held them accountable. They don't care. They only want to be pandered to, so pander away.
 
Re: Cops 9: You Are What Now?

It's too bad the board is going dark tomorrow. And that this thread is almost at the end. I may post this again on another day in a newer thread. This is the entire episode. All 35 minutes were devoted to the main story, and the ending is a powerful one.
