dubya disbanded the DoJ civil rights division

Trash did the same, with Sessions annulling several consent decrees with police depts

Repugs, The Party Of Racists

‘It means open season:’

Under Trump, the Justice Department has largely stopped investigating police departments for systemic abuses

In each case the investigators involved were from the US Department of Justice, and in all three cities they determined the local police department had systematically deprived citizens of their constitutional rights — findings that set the stage for those cities to enter into court-enforced reform plans, known as consent decrees.


For 20 years, investigations like those, and the consent decrees that followed, were key to federal efforts to bring more accountability to policing in the United States, especially during the Obama administration.

the Trump administration is all but out of the business of systemic police reform.

Since President Trump took office, the Justice Department has sharply curbed its use of investigations and consent decrees, essentially locking those powerful tools in its toolbox.

What’s more, the president himself has made multiple public statements that suggest he does not see police accountability as a high priority.

a connection between

the vacuum of accountability at the highest levels of government and

the ongoing police violence that has sent Americans cascading into the streets to protest.

“It means open season — we’re not going to be there policing what you do, and we think you’ve been hamstrung and overly restrained,”

Trump, by contrast, has spoken vaguely of the need for police departments to “get better,”

but he has often taken a permissive stance on policing, seeming to glory in the rough stuff.

His first attorney general, Jeff Sessions, expressed deep opposition to consent decrees,

William Barr, said he does not think (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bill-barr-george-floyd-protests-blm-face-the-nation-transcript/) a pattern-or-practice investigation is warranted in Minneapolis,

even though former officials say it is exactly the kind of department they would have investigated under the previous administration.

Texas mayor warns Black Lives Matter is a ‘threat to our lives’ —
and explodes in racist fury after she’s called out


https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-10-at-12.53.21-PM.png

Gloria Whitehead, mayor of Woodcreek, wrote a series of Facebook posts she called a “Wake Up Message” linking the social justice movement to the Black Panther Party, which disbanded in 1982, and socialist groups

“Violence toward people of color occurs statistically more toward each other than by law enforcement encounters,” Whitehead wrote. “BLM knows this but is masquerading it’s true agenda.”

“I’ll not bow down to this insane show,” she wrote, adding, “All Lives Matter.”

“I see BLM as a threat to our lives…

obviously the physical violence is there.

Obviously, from the hate responses…

there must be high levels of obedience shown.

Regardless, I am not a supporter of BLM.

Somehow this means my story, my position, my [declaration] that I am not a racist, makes me a racist.

So Be It.”

"During the arrest, the male subject resisted and a struggle ensued," the Bureau of Investigation said. "The officer deployed a Taser. Witnesses report that during the struggle the male subject grabbed and was in possession of the Taser. It has also been reported that the male subject was shot by an officer in the struggle over the Taser."

"About half an hour later, Brooks can be seen running away from two officers, who chase after him. As Brooks runs away, he turns back toward one officer and points the Taser, and that officer fires his weapon. Brooks falls to the ground and appears to remain motionless."

not exactly

legally speaking- the cop will win his case and get backpay and probably lots more

his defense is -again LEGALLY - solid.

THe taser can incapacitate a person for a minute- enough time to zap the cop , take his gun and kill him
so the cop will win his case and was legally justified


In TODAYS climate?

Well- that cop is going to be wrong no matter what and every armchair lawyer (like me) will opine on what could have been done differntly and how the guy should have been allowed to run away, etc

give one set of males guns (who just happen to be majority white), send them to black neighborhoods (or to white neighborhoods to investigate a "dangerous looking black man") and this is what happens




maybe dont disband the police (cities who are disbanding them just make up another name for the same police anyway), but just take away their military weapons and given them what other police have. Authority, handcuffs and night sticks (SWAT can still have rifles, and can be called in if there's an active shooter or someone with a gun/rifle).For nonviolent calls (homeless, belligerent drunks having bar fights, etc), if perps are actually guilty let justice be handed down by the judicial system, not executioner cops

The parents of a seven-year-old child who was allegedly sprayed with mace by police at a peaceful protest in Seattle have spoken out about the traumatising incident.

Footage of the protest that showed the boy screaming in pain while protesters attempt to help by using a milk-like substance to wash the child’s eyes went viral online at the beginning of June.

The video also shows protesters confronting the officers allegedly involved in spraying the child and asking for their badge numbers. One officer allegedly refused to give the protesters his badge number.

Minneapolis Police Officers Are Resigning Apparently Because Protesters Are Hurting Their Feelings (https://www.theroot.com/minneapolis-police-officers-are-resigning-apparently-be-1844039805)

protests and a national conversation on systemic racism in policing.

Predictably, many police officers are responding the way they often seem to when there’s a spotlight on them:

By getting in their little feelings about it.

A number of Minneapolis police officers have either resigned or are in the process of resigning

–not out of disgust for the actions of their department, of course, but because

they just can’t handle seeing civilians regard them as anything less than the heroes they’ve decided they are.

seven officers have resigned since the unrest began and

more are either in the process of quitting or

have simply walked off the job, :lol

without making it clear whether they wish to continue being officers for the MPD.

Read up.

In the video- the officer had brooks take a breathalizer test

saw the reading and told him - you have had too much to drink to allow you to drive and began the arrest by trying to handcuff him

then brooks violently resisted and assaulted the officers and grabbed the taser


unless the 2nd cop testifies of some kind of bias or racism or animosity against the first officer

i dont see how he gets convicted

the prosecutor never even mentioned that brooks elevated the situation when he resisted

resisting arrest - felony
assault on a po- felony
evading /fleeing - felony
firing taser at po - felony


never ever mentioned by anyone on the left media


funny- i NEVER EVER agree with ANYTHInG tucker nazi carlson or hannity ever say


but both of them nailed this -
both said officer acted lawfully

court case will be interesting if cop gets a good lawyer

1273339116642537472
i dont think that is going to really matter when it comes to a murder charge. that would go towards his termination, not criminal charges. imo

"never presented himself as a threat" is absurd considering that he fought the cops before the shooting, grabbed the taser and tried using it.


1273339880857272321
that is disturbing, and if that conduct is what the charges are based on, that's a different story. the shooting itself was wrongful but imo unlikely to garner a conviction

to use this as evidence that they didnt see him as a threat is disingenuous. of course he's not a threat after he's been shot and he's on the ground. the question of him being a threat is at the moment of the shooting (still questionable since he was running away and was unarmed)

support the BLM movement (the movement- not the opportunists with another agenda)

but


i think this cop will be collateral damage to further this movement- but it will be hard for him to get justice


IMO

he is guilty of acting like an ass after he shot the guy by kicking him -

but other than that- this cop got railroaded by angry agenda-driven and scared city officials

homicide is homicide. murder is murder. they're different. its also hazy when in the scope of law enforcement activity. i dont think every shooting that turns out to be unjustified warrants criminal prosecution/conviction.

i basically have 3 categories

1 - justified use of lethal force. still an intentional killing, but allowed

2 - unjustified use of lethal force, but essentially a poor judgment called in the field, still within the scope of legitimate police work

3 - unjustified use of force with no rational basis and appears detached from any legitimate exercise of force related to law enforcement


i see this one as category 2... not that these are legal standards. just my way of thinking these through

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard and his use of a nonprofit to funnel at least $140,000 in city of Atlanta funds to supplement his salary.

"At the request of the Attorney General’s Office, the GBI is conducting a criminal investigation into allegations against DA Paul Howard," GBI spokeswoman Nelly Miles told GPB News.

The allegations stem from reporting by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News about discrepancies between financial disclosures Howard filed with the state and tax filings submitted to the IRS by the nonprofit he heads as CEO.

Howard, who has been the DA since 1997, is also facing allegations of sexual abuse and a state ethics complaint, the newspaper reported.

A criminal probe of the prosecutor who heads Georgia’s largest and busiest district attorney’s office is highly unusual. But so was Howard’s decision to use People Partnering for Progress as a conduit to pad his salary by at least $170,000 from 2014 through 2017, according to tax records and the nonprofit’s own documents.

Howard’s annual salary, paid by the state and supplemented by the county, is roughly $175,000.

You may not agree with it, and I don’t think he “needed” to be shot, but I wasn’t in that situation and am not going to pretend that cop knew the taser wouldn’t incapacitate him if it landed, therefore the use of force was justified.

“Atlanta Police policy manual, which was most recently updated last week, says that an officer can use deadly force when "He or she reasonably believes that the suspect possesses a deadly weapon or any object, device, or instrument which, when used offensively against a person, is likely to or actually does result in serious bodily injury and when he or she reasonably believes that the suspect poses an immediate threat of serious bodily injury to the officer or others."

The Atlanta DA literally called tasers deadly weapons a week ago :lol

“The Taser is designed to be less lethal than a firearm, but it can be fatal in some circumstances. Amnesty International said that more than 500 people have died in the US "after being shocked with a Taser either during their arrest or while in jail," according to a CNN story in 2015.”

“In 2016, a Bibb County sheriff's deputy in Georgia shot and killed a 57-year-old man suspected of shoplifting who pepper-sprayed the officer during a confrontation. Investigators ruled that the shooting was justified, according to The Macon Telegraph.”

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/15/us/rayshard-brooks-force-law/index.html

Again, I don’t think the cop needed to go to his firearm but I’m not going to armchair quarterback a tense situation like that and say he’s guilty of murder when his use of force fell under Atlanta’s guidelines. If he’s convicted it’s bullshit.

That same DA said last week that tasers were a lethal weapon. It doesn’t matter if the taser couldn’t shoot to tase, it still has the capability to tase without the barbs, therefore it’s still armed. You clearly don’t understand use of force application even after being shown Atlanta PD’s use of force guidelines.

He won the struggle and got the cops weapon.
mhm. and like i said, if he was shot during the struggle/assault while going for a cop's weapon, it's a different story.

when he's running away, unarmed with nothing but a direct-contact taser, back to the police, i dont think lethal force is justified

the serious threat of bodily injury or death should be concurrent with the shooting if its going to be justified. there wasn't any imminent threat to the safety of the officers or anybody else while the guy was running away, back turned, at least not to the extent that lethal force was justifiable. just because he created a potentially serious threatening situation at some point doesnt mean you are free to shoot him 10-15 seconds later when the situation has changed

Should've shot him sooner lol

[Spurs Homer]

How can a weapon with no ammo strike anyone let alone "inhibit" someone from defending themselves?

I dont know if it has been established that the taser could not be fired anymore - AND that the pursuing officer had absolute knowledge that the taser was incapable of firing -

"no ammo" - does not sound correct IMO

Here is why the officer was justified in shooting his weapon to defend himself.

During training - ALL cops are tased and pepper-sprayed - so that they absolutely KNOW - how it feels and also to prove - to TEACH them a bigger lesson

that a taser and pepper spray can temporarily disable you -

sometimes for a minute - and sometimes longer - and during those moments when you are disabled - the training officer runs in and takes the officers weapon -

when the officer "wakes up" - "returns to life" - he reaches for his weapon (or weapons) and finds that the training officer has taken them and is standing over him and "theoretically" shoots him

this never leaves the officers mind - that he must never allow a suspect to incapacitate him - not for a millisecond - ever -

If you are dealing with a Felony suspect who has just proven that he could overpower TWO officers
and displayed a calm cool collected demeanor - as long as you weren't trying to arrest him

and then turned violent and vicious the SECOND he felt like he was being restrained -

and then took your taser and fired it at you =


then the training kicked in and the officer had to go back to his training and he knew that a taser could incapacitate him just long enough - for the suspect to take a couple of steps towards him - take his gun and kill him.

The suspect was also turning around to shoot the taser - so the cop could have legitimately began his shooting motion while the suspect was turning towards him and by the time he shot - the suspect had turned around - thereby the "shot in the back" which the public immediately considers murderous and/or cowardly.

Shit happens in that split-second - and I guess Mr. Brooks didnt bother to think of that when he assaulted the officers and fired the taser. No one even wants to address Mr. Brooks actions which led to this - just as much as the officers actions.

Sucks that they could not just let him run away

but still does not prove the cop murdered anyone.

[spurraider21]

Should've shot him sooner lol
shooting is only justified if there is a present or imminent threat

if he was a threat at one point in time, that doesn't mean you have some indefinite window where you can still justifiably kill him

[Spurtacular]

shooting is only justified if there is a present or imminent threat

Agreed. This guy really should've avoided assaulting police officers like that. He should've valued his life; but not all do.

[Texas_Ranger]

they should have let him run, perhaps he could have beat some more kids on his way. I hope he at least gets some paintings on buildings, he really was a great guy.

[boutons_deux]

but still does not prove the cop murdered anyone.

shooting and killing an unarmed person running away, posing no threat to the shooter or anyone else, is murder, extrajudicial execution.

the "felonies" the black committed are not capital crimes.

how the fuck do you know that? Did he look like a good boy to you? The motherfucker just fucked up 2 cops, stole their weapon, ohh and he's also a fucking criminal.... but yea, he wouldn't do anything stupid. His past actions say he was a good guy and wouldnt hurt a soul.... well, perhaps only some kids, but fuck them. Lets hope he also gets 6 funerals and a big gofund me for his kids, which he loved by beating the shit out of them.

You clearly love talking out of your ass.

You're so inexperienced talking about a subject as if you're experienced in that field. Fuck out of here!

Surveillance footage shows Brooks turning around and pointing that taser as the cops. Yall want to claim in the heat of the moment the cop who shot Brooks knew the taser brooks had was just that a taser, he knew the taser was "spent", and that brooks wouldn't pose a risk by letting him run free after wrestling both cops to the ground, stealing a taser gun, and pointing said taser at the cops. Fuck out of here!

in a video it looks like the taser was fired at a cops head. But lets say it wasn't. So now cops should start counting taser shots in this kinda situations? This is just fucking ridiculous. Just leave Atlanta without any cop for a week and lets see how nice of a time there will be.

What a terrible way to look at this. Black and white, no grey in between.

You’re either a good guy or a bad guy, period. He was in jail, yes but he did his time. His due was paid.

If you want to argue and justify his death that’s fine but bringing his past, or that he beats his kids is irrelevant to this case.

A drunk unarmed guy running away from cops who are 5-10 feet behind him in pursuit is going to stop along the way to mug some kids in the middle of the night?

wrong there.

[spurraider21]

wrong there.
Oh my bad he had an empty taser which could have been used as a direct contact taser.

So a drunk guy running away from the cops with a taser that he cannot shoot is going to stop along the way with cops in hot pursuit to jam a taser into some children in the middle of the night?

Looking at the video, the taser was not empty and he shot it at an officer. Now, what could have happen later we don't know. But imagine if the stupid fuck didn't resist arrest... hmmm, i know what would happen then. Nothing.

he was out on parole and he knew that doing stupid shit would get him back in jail.

and I will say the cops were stupid. But not cause they shot him, but cause they let him fuck them up. that was pretty pathetic.
