The Warrior cops are out of control

Trolling Stone, the same failing liberal rag who's getting sued for running a false rape story and slandering an entire fraternity.

the Encina/Bland article is spot on, not trolling. The RS editor in charge of the bogus UVA story has lost his job this week.

Shocked Ohio hasn't had the turmoil that Baltimore or Fergusion has had.

Tamir Rice-Kid shot by police after playing with a pellet gun. Cops claimed they warned him four times to drop the weapon but footage shows that they shot him less than two seconds after exiting the car. City then blamed the death on the kid.

John Crawford-Unarmed man walking around Walmart on his cell phone with a toy gun (pointed to the ground). Plain clothes cop shot him without warning. Office faced no charges.

-Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams-Twelve cops shot at both of them (unarmed)137 times. Michael Brelo stood on the hood of the car and fired 15 times. They all got off without jail time because they feared for their safety.

At least the Cinncinatti cop got charged. I was begining to think Cops could legally murder unarmed blacks in that state 'just cause.

They stood by the fake story for months. It took getting dragged to court for that editor to lose their job. Trolling Stone has zero credibility at all.

Texas sheriff refuses to turn over jailhouse video after 32-year-old gay man dies of ‘natural causes’

The family of a 32-year-old gay man who died in a Texas jail want more answers as to why he was denied his medication that led to the seizures that killed him, reports KTRK.

With Texas lawmakers looking into jailhouse reform in the wake of the recent death of Sandra Bland in Houston, the parents of Jesse Jacobs have come forward to discuss their son’s death after he turned himself into a Galveston jail to serve a DUI sentence, only to die within a week.

The parents of Jacobs, who died in March, want an investigation into what happened in the jail, however the sheriff — on the advice of the Galveston County Attorney– is refusing to turn over video fearing a lawsuit.

Jacobs voluntarily entered jail to serve his 30 days, with the hope that he would only have to stay for 12 days with time off for good behavior.

However after being processed, jailhouse medical personnel denied him the prescribed Xanax he had been taking for ten years to treat a severe anxiety disorder.

A week after being denied the drug Jacobs began experiencing seizures, a known side-effect of Xanax withdrawal.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore reached a grim milestone on Friday, three months after riots erupted in response to the death of Freddie Gray in police custody: With 45 homicides in July, the city has seen more bloodshed in a single month than it has in 43 years.

I didn't read the link, but if what Boutons posted is accurate, someone needs to be held accountable for homicide, manslaughter, or whatever.

How 'Assembly-Line Justice' Victimizes Kids In St. Louis County

A DOJ report finds the harsh treatment of black children in Ferguson-area courts "cannot be explained by factors other than race."

Hundreds of children who have come into contact with the juvenile justice system in Missouri's St. Louis County have been subjected to a process that is "rife" with "obvious" conflicts of interest, where allegations against them are "simply assumed to be true," where cons utional rights are routinely denied, and where black kids are much more likely to receive harsh punishments, and even be locked up prior to their day in court, due to nothing more than the color of their skin.

In a 61-page report released publicly on Friday, federal authorities found that race "in and of itself" played a "significant" role in how children were treated in the county courts. Black youths were much less likely than whites to have their cases handled informally. Black children were 2.5 times more likely than whites to be detained before trial, regardless of their age or the severity of their alleged offense. Black adolescents were nearly three times as likely as whites to be placed in custody if they violated the conditions of the equivalent of parole. And black kids were 2.74 times more likely than whites to be sentenced to be placed in custody, "even after controlling for age, gender, risk factors, and the severity of the allegations involved."

The study found that those disparities were "evidence of racial bias," and that the "disparate impact on Black children cannot be explained by factors other than race." It found that purposeful, discriminatory intent was "at least a 'motivating factor' in the decision making" in the St. Louis County Family Court.

WATCH: Kansas cop goes off on f*ck-filled rant, threatens to arrest man for asking him a simple question

Williams, “So how come you didn’t detain her — just out of curiosity — since she did just admit that she had her TV that she stole from…” at which point Williams interrupted him.

“Why the f*ck am I talking to you?” Williams asked.

“Because I was just curious,” Jacobs replied.

“Okay. I don’t need anything from you. This is not my f*cking jurisdiction. You understand that?” Williams said.

“No, I don’t. I don’t have a clue. I don’t know what is going on,” Jacobs replied, and then the officer goes off, asking Jacobs for his ID and telling him to step down from the curb

“Say something else to me and we’ll see where this goes. Open your f*cking mouth, say something else,” Williams said. “This is not my — take your f*cking sunglasses off.

Hat off, give me your identification. What’s your f*cking name? You want to spend the night in the f*cking pokey because you can’t shut your f*cking mouth?”

After Jacobs answers “No,” Williams sent him on his way with a parting “Enjoy your f*cking walk.”

Probation May Sound Light, but Punishments Can Land Hard

She was stopped for speeding, failed a breathalyzer test, and was charged with drunken driving. She pleaded guilty in exchange for entering a probation program under which, provided she followed the rules, she would avoid a conviction.

But over the next 18 months, Mrs. Hall would find herself in trouble again and again, though she committed no new crimes. She spent countless hours attending court and lost thousands of dollars in fees, legal costs and wages, as well as two jobs. The judge handling her case imposed conditions far harsher than the norm, then repeatedly called Mrs. Hall into court for violations like failing to ask permission before moving to a different unit in her apartment complex.

Donyelle Hall’s Legal Tailspin

Her arrest for drunken driving sets off a cascade of troubles in and out of court.

• Dec. 25, 2013 Arrested for drunken driving, a misdemeanor. Bond: $25,000.
• March 6, 2014 Sentenced to probation with a chance to avoid a conviction. Costs: $385 a month.
• April 1, 2014 License suspended, loses job.
• Oct. 6, 2014 Called to court for seeking to change apartments without permission. After five hearings, violation dismissed.
• March 12, 2015 Sent to jail for missing paperwork, can't afford $5,000 bail.
• April 1, 2015 Jail fails to transport her to court, misses hearing that could have led to release.
• April 14, 2015 Judge finds probation violation. Released with a conviction on her record.
• June 6, 2015 License suspended for six months.
  

Yet as more states turn to probation and parole as a means of reducing incarceration, her story shows how even a supposedly light punishment like probation can severely disrupt a working-class life and weigh heavily on its prospects.

“There are a number of people around the country being put on probation that don’t really need to be on probation,” said Carl Wicklund, the executive director of the American Parole and Probation Association, a professional group. “It’s a bad use of resources, and it’s bad for the individual.” Nationally, only about two-thirds of probationers successfully complete their terms, according to federal data.

At its worst, the criminal justice system can backfire on a stable, nonviolent defendant like Mrs. Hall, said Edward Latessa, director of the School of Criminal Justice at the University of Cincinnati. “If I took you and locked you up for 30 days, what would happen?” he said. “You’d lose your job, you might lose your apartment, you end up with a criminal record. I don’t help you — I give you new risk factors.”

In Maryland, many first-time drunken-driving defendants are released on their own recognizance, particularly if no one was hurt. But Mrs. Hall’s bail was set by a court commissioner at $25,000.

A bail bondsman charged Mr. Hall $2,000, payable in monthly installments, to post bond, and Mrs. Hall was released in less than 24 hours. Everyone assured her the case was minor.

My guess is that some judges, county commissioners screwing low offenders with $10Ks bail are on the take from jail bond s bags, esp elected judges.

"
The 10 cities with the largest police departments spent $248.7 million last year on settlements and court judgments in police-misconduct cases, up 48% from 2010, according to data gathered by the Journal through public-records requests.

They collectively paid out more than $1 billion over the five years for such cases, which include alleged beatings, shootings and wrongful imprisonment.

Training Officers to Shoot First, and He Will Answer Questions Later

The shooting looked bad. But that is when the professor is at his best. A black motorist, pulled to the side of the road for a turn-signal violation, had stuffed his hand into his pocket. The white officer yelled for him to take it out. When the driver started to comply, the officer shot him dead.

The driver was unarmed.

Taking the stand at a public inquest, William J. Lewinski, the psychology professor, explained that the officer had no choice but to act.

“In simple terms,” the district attorney in Portland, Ore., asked, “if I see the gun, I’m dead?”

“In simple terms, that’s it,” Dr. Lewinski replied.

When police officers shoot people under questionable cir stances, Dr. Lewinski is often there to defend their actions. Among the most influential voices on the subject, he has testified in or consulted in nearly 200 cases over the last decade or so and has helped justify countless shootings around the country.


His conclusions are consistent:

The officer acted appropriately, even when shooting an unarmed person.

Even when shooting someone in the back.

Even when witness testimony, forensic evidence or video footage contradicts the officer’s story.
