More police brutality than you can shake a stick at.

[CRI]

That's the video from above, but seems much clearer. Yup, no need to keep punching a guy when he's already restrained. You could see he was trying to keep his head up off the concrete, but the cop was punching down, like he wanted him to bust his nose or a few teeth out.

And more proof (if any was needed) that cyclists are fucking stupid.

WTF was the guy on the bicycle thinking, even if it was his bag? The area was taped off, there must have been police vehicles, cops, etc. around. Why not walk up to someone and say, "Hey, that's my bag, really sorry I left it over there . . ?" He got decked, but doesn't look like he got punched while being restrained, or tasered, or shot. It looks like one of the cops actually moved partly in front of him, so may have "cushioned" some of the guy's impact on the pavement.

Brutality? Not really.

Family get $4 for dad shot by cop at home

Gunshots rang out after police were called to Mr Hill's home when a parent collecting her child from a nearby primary school reportedly complained about loud music coming from his garage. According to the New York Times, officers arrived and knocked on the garage door.

Mr Hill, a warehouse employee, raised the door only to shut it again after seeing police outside.One of the officers opened fire four times as the door closed, hitting Mr Hill three times, once in the head, reports the newspaper.

However, it also decided that Mr Hill was 99% responsible for his own death, meaning the sheriff's department is only required to pay 1% of the damages. This would leave the family with four cents. The judge could reduce the damages further to zero because Mr Hill was intoxicated.

The jury found that Christopher Newman, the sheriff's deputy who shot Mr Hill, had not used excessive force.

Edit - found this article saying the court reduced the compensation from $4 to 0.

$4 award to family of black man fatally shot by cop is reduced to 0

Police were called because of a complaint about loud, obscene music coming from the home as students were being let out of elementary school. Police encountered Hill in his garage and said he was holding a gun. As the garage door began to close, a white officer fired four times.

A SWAT team called to the home cut a hole in the garage door and sent a robot to investigate. Hill was dead. An unloaded gun was in Hill’s back pocket.

The lawyer for Hill’s family, John Phillips, told News 3 he found the verdict “perplexing,” but court rules prevent him from questioning jurors to learn more. The jury consisted of one black man, two white men and five white women.

Phillips plans an appeal. One issue will be the “evasiveness” of a police expert who claimed to be hard of hearing during Phillips’ questions. Another issue is conflicting police testimony about the gun, he said. Phillips also says the defense improperly mentioned that Hill was on probation for drug possession.

I'm sure the jury decided that after being shot through the head, Hill tucked the empty gun he'd threatened the cops with into his back pocket.

Police Pointed A Gun At Four Black Boys After A 911 Caller Falsely Claimed They Were Armed

Brianna Lindell, who witnessed and filmed the incident at Minnehaha Regional Park, said on Facebook that she'd previously seen a white male who looked about 17 years old "spouting racial slurs at them and aggressing them with a metal trash can lid and saying he had a knife."

Lindell said the white male was with a woman who was using her phone and believes that that woman later made the 911 call.

Police said the 911 caller had "reported four males holding knives and sticks," "stated one suspect said he had a gun in his backpack," and claimed "the suspects were assaulting the 911 caller’s boyfriend."

One of the officers did point a gun at the boys, police confirmed.

The incident, as well as the "validity of the 911 call," is now being investigated. Police said they "were unable to contact, on scene or by phone, the 911 caller or the 911 caller’s boyfriend."

Witness descriptions of the incident "were inconsistent with the 911 callers account of the incident," police said.

The Latest: Police say 4 protesters arrested after shooting

Police say four protesters have been arrested and several police officers slightly injured during scuffles that broke out after a man was fatally shot by a police officer on Chicago’s South Side.
Chicago police say a man fatally shot by an officer was “exhibiting characteristics of an armed person” and officers tried to question him.

Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi tweeted that when officers on foot tried to question the man Saturday evening a confrontation ensued and he was shot. The man was fatally wounded.

Version from a reporter who was on the scene.

Protesters, police square off in South Shore after officer fatally shoots man

In a late-night press conference outside CPD headquarters, Chief of Patrol Fred Waller said the man had a bulge near his waistband and “became combative.” Guglielmi said the shooting was captured on the officer’s body camera.

People outside the crime scene after the shooting claimed a female officer shot the man, a neighborhood barber, at least five times in the back as he ran away, and that the officer was taken away from the scene in a police vehicle afterward as the crowd formed.

Twitter thread here. These are a couple excerpts.




Illinois is now a concealed carry state, so this “exhibiting characteristics of an armed person” is pure bullshit. Unverified, but the reporter's Twitter thread says witnesses said he had a permit for the gun.

Perhaps not 100% the right thread for this, but close enough.

Video shows deadly shooting over parking spot at Clearwater convenience store

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri says the shooting was justified under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. The deadly shooting at a convenience store in unincorporated Clearwater occurred Thursday.

Deputies said Michael Drejka, of Clearwater, confronted a woman who parked in a handicapped parking space outside the Circle A Food Store on Sunset Point Road.

McGlockton exited the store to defend his girlfriend and shoved Drejka to the ground.

Drejka responded by taking out a pistol and shooting McGlockton in the chest. McGlockton ran back into the store where his five-year-old son was standing at the front door, watching the entire incident happen right before his eyes. McGlockton fell to the ground inside of the store and he was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Drejka is a legal concealed weapons permit holder and will not be charged because of Florida's Stand Your Ground law, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.

The store owner tells ABC Action News that Drejka has a history of assaulting people in the very parking lot the shooting took place. A man who frequents the store told ABC Action News he had a run-in with the man who opened fire just one month ago.

Rich Kelly says the man picked a fight with him over a parking spot, using racial slurs, and even threatening to kill him. Now, a month later, a similar case, ending with a father killed in front of his 5-year-old son.

Christ this!

You can see the cops literally dragging the unconscious man between them - his head is lolling and his feet are dragging the ground. They then dump him on the concrete as they try and figure out how to get him into the back of the cop car. At 1.20 or so, you can see his feet on the ground, and it's clear they haven't even put him in the recovery position. Then, they shove him into the back of the car like a sack of coal.

my account is that we told the police to fuck off and they were not welcome. The fat fucker crying is a bully and he deserved that. I’ve seen him in action in recent days.
We did not use violence, we said go away and stood our ground, whilst advancing on theirs.

Since then they have not been back. It’s a crazy situation right now with a far right Home Secretary having a no tolerance attitude to the cannabis trade.
But it’s hot here like all over Europe. Only an idiot would come in harder as the city is like a tinderbox due to the Danish police policies ( of course focusing their attention on the poorer youth), I don’t know why they don’t just legalize apart from of course money.

Multiple Police Cars Summoned to Arrest Selma Civil Rights Activist for Allegedly Stealing a Campaign Sign

The activist, Faya Rose Touré, 73, is facing charges of fourth-degree theft and attempting to elude a police officer after she led cops on a four-block chase through the city. Touré was the first Black female judge in Alabama and founder of the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute in Selma.

“I’ve been in office 35 years and I’ve been running campaigns since 1974 and now I’ve never heard of a single person being arrested for a campaign sign,” Touré’s husband and attorney, state Senator Hank Sanders, told The Appeal in an interview in the Selma law office he shares with his wife.

Like the bit with the undercover dude from the police compliants dept tries to get a complaints form (he's an ex cop) Needless to say, he doesn't get his form, and is arrested a few times for his trouble. (and threatened with a trip to the hospital) Then there's that big cunt in the bar, battering the shit out of some poor young lady. Filthy nazi pig scum, to the fucking last of them

Is she someone you could talk to? Perhaps a bit of a baptism of fire on institutional bigotry from someone she trusts might stretch her mind rather than blow it.

Mind, that means she'll probably want to change her career path. Will suck for her being surrounded by unreconstructed bigots when she's at the bottom of the food chain.

No, and besides I'd feel awful putting her out of a career, even if that career is steeped in structural violence. It's just one of those situations where it's not appropriate to speak out. If asked I would, as appropriately, as possible speak my views. But her mum, my mate's partner, is a bit of a 'sun reader' (literally and figuratively). Not remotely political and as a guest in their home I would feel desperately uncomfortable saying "by the way your daughter is training to become a brute!"
