Police cannot be trusted.
We simply have too many…FAR too many instances of them lying through their teeth, being caught (and contradicted by their own video) and then lying some more to save their own asses at the expense of the people they swore to serve.
Joe Friday can kiss my ass.
Hell if I inexplicably plowed my souped-up Esplanade through an Olive Garden wall by golly I’d durn-well expect nothing but full co-operation from the manager, preferably either prone or with their hands up.
Clearly the owners were negligent in crashing their gay bar into the police vehicle.
Nice normal country y’all got there.
Charges dismissed in the “eating while Black” Applebee’s case.
3 Tacoma WA police officers found not guilty for the murder of Manuel Ellis. I am guessing the brotherhood told the DA to lose the case.
An Ohio grand jury no bills case where 8 cops shoot a black guy 46 times.](Jayland Walker grand jury decision: No indictments in fatal Akron police shooting of unarmed Black man, Ohio attorney general says - 6abc Philadelphia)
I’m sure they tried REAL hard to get an indictment.
The grand jury concluded the officers were legally justified in their use of force, according to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.
They were each justified in firing 6 shots into an unarmed man. Being black is SUCH a great threat to officer safety.
It’s not violent, but still stupid.

Or both. The managerperpetrator needs to be prone, face down, with his hands in the air, or he’s resisting arrest, and therefore needs to be arrested.
Someone else called 911 and was shot by the police
A county sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a 27-year-old woman who had called 911 to report that she was under attack by a former boyfriend, police officials and lawyers for the victim’s family said on Thursday. Records show the deputy had killed another person in similar circumstances three years ago.
(my emphasis)
Once is happenstance; twice is coincidence; three times (which will no doubt come to pass) is why the FUCK does this cop still have a badge and a gun?
it’s now his job to do that.
On oldie, but a goodie from “People Magazine Investigates”. In 1986, a newlywedded woman was murdered in her apartment. The woman had been shot several times and had a fresh bite mark on her arm. There appears to be evidence of burglary and a struggle. The police chase a 2 man burglary crew, find it’s a dead-end, then the case goes cold.
20 years later, the Cold Case squad discovers the identity of the killer. Turns out it was not the 2 man Mexican burglary team. It was a Los Angeles Police Detective with a flawless record.
At the time, LAPD officer Stephanie Lazarus was a jilted lover of the woman’s new husband. She had, on several occasions, intimidated the woman at her home and at the hospital where she worked while in police uniform. Lazarus had staged the murder scene as a robbery gone wrong.
The victims father had informed LAPD about Lazarus, asked them to investigate, but they never did anything about it. And I mean nothing. Did not even look into her at all.
When the Cold Case squad found out it was Lazarus, she was actually working on the same floor, two doors down from them.
Lazarus was convicted in 2015 on the strength of DNA taken from the victims bite mark.
I’ve seen that one. She has crazy eyes.
Much like the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department
Following up on this story:
The deputy ran into the house and basically immediately killed the woman. There is no possible chance he had any time to evaluate the situation and determine the source of the threat.
This shit is infuriating. The deputy absolutely needs to be prosecuted.
I am certain that an intensive investigation by the Department will show that the shooting was … unfortunate…but legally justified and that the Deputy followed procedure.
