More police brutality than you can shake a stick at.

This is the Late Ta'Kiya Young, a 21 year-old pregnant mother of two sons aged 6 and 3, who was shot dead on 24 August 2023 while inside her car in Blendon Township, Ohio, USA, after local police officers approached her in her car after a Kroger store employee accused her of stealing:

Three-quarters of respondents to the largest ever survey of rape and sexual assault survivors in England and Wales said their mental health was damaged “as a direct result of what police did, or failed to do, in their case”, according to researchers.


The survey, which is funded by the Home Office, exposes multiple failures in the policing of serious sexual crimes, and reveals that “countless respondents said their rapist went on to sexually offend again against them and/or others because police did not take their report seriously”.

Interesting BECAUSE AMERICA clarification further down the article, about another incident at the prison:
In November 2022, an inmate at the facility’s low-security prison camp pulled out a gun and attempted to shoot a visitor in the head. The weapon, which the inmate shouldn’t have had, misfired and no one was hurt.

So many people tell me go to the US it’s great.

Then I read about cops shooting the person that phoned them for help.
This isn’t an isolated incident. Not just (allegedly) for this cop but America in general.

I can handle having to worry about criminals.
I can’t handle having to worry about criminal and authorities and deciding I’d rather have a car jacker point a gun at me than phone the cops.

The Guardian article linked above has some disturbing details, such as this is not the first time this particular deputy has shit and killed someone. Last time he faced no prosecution.

The area where this took place has a noted series of police shooting black women.
 
A lot of news stories go under-reported, while other stories are promoted. I think I've found the most under-reported story for 2024:

Over 200 Bodies Found In Unmarked Graves Behind Mississippi Jail

215 bodies have been discovered buried in unmarked graves behind a state jail in Jackson, Mississippi, per FOX26.

Several grave sites were only identified by a number and metal rod. Families of the deceased weren't notified until last month. They're calling for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the unmarked graves.

The discovery comes after the circumstances of Dexter Wade's death were uncovered. Wade's mother spent months looking for her son only to find out he was fatally struck by a Jackson police car less than an hour after leaving home. He was killed and buried without the family's knowledge.

Activist Arthur "Silky Slim" Reed is working with civil rights attorney Ben Crump to shed light on the lack of transparency, respect, and humanity in handling the deceased.
Reed said the burial site in Jackson, Mississippi is filled with buzzards, scavengers, and a disturbing stench as bodies are placed in shadowed graves without embalming. Many of the deceased loved ones believed the victims were missing until they were notified last month.

Reed noted that the issue extends beyond race as both white and Black individuals were discovered in the unmarked graves.

The disturbing thing about Dexter Wade is that his mother had reported him missing to the police and checked back regularly to see if any progress had been made. Meanwhile, he had been hit and killed by a police car and buried behind the jail... with his wallet and photo id in his back pocket. (I might add that they didn't even bother putting him in a cardboard box. He was dumped in a plastic body bag. You'd think the county could spring for at least a pine box.) I try not to attribute anything to malice that can be attributed to stupidity, but it's hard to see this as anything but a cover-up. One wonders at the history behind the other 214 bodies.

Three French police officers have been given suspended prison sentences for assaulting Théo Luhaka with a baton in a north-west Paris suburb in February 2017.

Théo Luhaka was left disabled with irreversible anal injuries from a police baton during a 'routine' stop-and-search on a housing estate in the Paris suburb of Aulnay-sous-Bois Aulnay-sous-Bois. He was also beaten, racially abused and spat at.

Policeman Marc-Antoine Castelain was given a one-year suspended prison sentence for voluntary violence for beating Théo Luhaka and causing him serious anal injuries with a police baton, leaving him incontinent. Théo Luhaka also suffered a four-inch gash to his large intestine.

Two other officers, Jeremie Dulin and Tony Hochart, who were present and gave blows to Théo Luhaka during his arrest, were each given three month suspended sentences.

Marc-Antoine Castelain was banned from working as a police officer in the public space for five years, while Jeremie Dulin and Tony Hochart were each banned for two years.

Théo Luhaka had hopes of becoming a professional football player in Belgium and, at the time of the attack, was a community educator and mentor with no criminal record. He required emergency surgery due to severe rectal injuries and rectal perforation. A 2019 medical report later found that his injuries would require life-long treatment, having left him incontinent:

In Mississippi, six former sheriff's deputies have been sentenced to between 10 and 40 years in prison for raiding a home and torturing, shooting and sexually abusing two Black men, Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker, in January 2023. The six former deputies, all of whom are white, called themselves the "Goon Squad" and have been linked to at least four violent attacks on Black men since 2019. Two of the men attacked and tortured by the group subsequently died. To discuss the case and the verdict, we're joined by Eddie Parker and attorneys Malik Shabazz and Trent Walker. "Never have we seen this many police officers sentenced to this kind of time in one week," says Shabazz, who calls the verdict "historic." Jenkins, Parker and Shabazz are currently suing the Rankin County Sheriff's Department over its track record of civil rights violations and racist targeting of Black residents:
