Cops Are The Worst

We will never have a shortage of these people. Very classy of the cops to blur her face and not make her name public.

I would have splattered her name everywhere

Given the intersectionality of the person in the car that might backfire, but again, IMHO no one should have their life ruined for 30 seconds of non-violent/threatening language.

Why not? They’d do whatever they can to ruin the other person’s life.

Or protect your family from danger. Either is possible. One is actually much more likely statistically. Grow up wease.

The wording is confusing, but when you take into account wease lives in Trump country and has contempt for his neighbors the answer is clear.

You can always find someone worse than you to justify your bad behavior, but it doesn't make it right.

Sure can't wait for folks on here to either 1) act like that isn't happening, or 2) present it as a good thing.

Based on crime rates*, one should expect some discrepancy here, but something like an order of magnitude less.

It'd be great if cops could be trusted to not wildly abuse pretextual stops. When cops consistently do shit like this, they get federal consent decrees and pretty soon the only thing they can pull people over for are moving violations and reported stolen cars. Maybe reconsider your probable cause detector if the 10th person in a row doesn't have any contraband worth reporting.

The tweet intentionally misleads in that it states "minor traffic stops", implying things like running a stop sign or doing 55 in the 54, but what it means is "equipment violations". From the article "that means Minneapolis police have stopped Black drivers for violations like expired tabs or broken tail lights at nine times the rate of white drivers" which could be entirely explained by the 5x poverty gap between white and black people in the Minneapolis area. If you are spending your money on food, you aren't gonna get your taillight fixed. For some reason the article but leaves out the most common equipment violation leading to searches, which is illegal window tints. And if the cops cannot see into the car... maybe they might possibly on occasion want to search it? Wrong narrative I suppose? Anyway, lets take a second to look at the scope of the issue: "That is still true so far this year [2021]. Records show 32 Black drivers have been stopped and searched, compared to only one white driver." 32 whole drivers? One event every four days? Out of a 100K population? That's definitely evidence of a systemic assault on freedom and not clickbait.

Anatomy of a Crime Wave
Baltimore’s experiment with de-policing has been disastrous—and deadly.


A decade ago, Baltimoreans became lab rats in a fateful experiment: their elected officials decided to treat the city’s long-running crime problem with many fewer cops. In effect, Baltimore began to defund its police and engage in de-policing long before those terms gained popular currency.

This experiment has been an abject failure. Since 2011, nearly 3,000 Baltimoreans have been murdered—one of every 200 city residents over that period. The annual homicide rate has climbed from 31 per 100,000 residents to 56—ten times the national rate. And 93 percent of the homicide victims of known race over this period were black.

Remarkably, Baltimore is reinforcing its de-policing strategy. State’s Attorney for Baltimore Marilyn Mosby no longer intends to prosecute various “low-level” crimes. Newly elected mayor Brandon Scott promises a five-year plan to cut the police budget. Both justify their policies by asserting that the bloodbath on city streets proves that policing itself “hasn’t worked”; they sell their acceleration of de-policing as a “fresh approach” and “re-imagining” of law enforcement.

Again we see "leaders" allowing the continued slaughter of black people in order to game the numbers for political advantage. Relying on disparate impact stats (equity) to drive policy is demonstrably destroying black communities. Why do we still do this?

Much like covid theater, they will never admit they were wrong and just plunge ahead.

Enacting woke, politically driven responses to a problem all while knowing said responses don't actually accomplish anything? You'd have to talk to someone who lives in Baltimore to get a detailed list. I kind of doubt any of the WFH soy boys of RM live in Baltimore though.

Can you imagine playing hot/cold with verb?

You're getting warmer.

OK, warmer.
No, you're not at the place yet. You're just moving in that direction as political theater. It's pointless for you to move at all.

Louisiana State Police declined to comment on the footage, saying the “premature public release of investigative files and video evidence in this case is not authorized and … undermines the investigative process and compromises the fair and impartial outcome.”

This happened 2 years ago, Louisiana.

Atlanta councilman Antonio Brown, who voted to defund police, has car stolen

An Atlanta mayoral candidate who voted to defund millions of dollars from the local police department’s budget reportedly had his car stolen by a group of young thieves this week.

City Council Member Antonio Brown had just gotten out of his white Mercedes coupe to speak to fellow community leader Ben Norman in northwest Atlanta’s Dixie Hills community Wednesday when he spotted four or five kids — the youngest only 6 or 7, WAGA-TV reported.

The children were walking around a store — and within seconds were inside Brown’s car, he said.

“One kid was in the driver’s seat,” Brown told the outlet. “Ben attempted to open the door to get him out of the car. He fought with Ben. I then engaged and tried to get him out of the car. The three other kids were trying to figure out how to get in the car or stay out of the car. He started to hit on the gas. Ben let go.”

“As he started to speed up, and I knew that if I had not let go, I knew I probably could have killed myself because he was going so fast, I would have started to tumble,” he added. “And I would have hurt him.”

Brown said he filed a report with the Atlanta Police Department.

“This is a generational poverty issue,” Brown said. “These kids, it’s 12:30 in the afternoon. Why aren’t they in school? Why aren’t we enforcing systems to ensure that if they are not in school, they’re in recreational centers?”
