Police Behaving Badly

[creaky fossil]

that's why the packaged story isn't to be trusted
especially the op/ed kind of package
even if it's from a "trusted" source

you can see things for yourself and trust your instincts
there's a lot of disconnect in most of the stories sold
"journalists" are more concerned with twitter followers
provoke provoke provoke titillate titillate titillate
stoke the division fires

WTF else is going on right now? distraction is a well-worn strategy

TSA was just looking to touch his dick, they missed that opportunity in mpls

[Buster Highmen]

it's a loose prediction, who knows what this thing will look like in 10 yrs?

TSA could get bigger if they wanted to see air travel choke. who knows, anyway? where's the $$ flowing? doesn't seem like people have stopped flying now. maybe we could require people to arrive 48 hrs before flight, and spend that time with "aggressive interrogation" techniques. it's all for everyone's security, I see no reason to object. in fact I find it all rather comforting, like I'm being swaddled in a cozy blanket and I'm a newborn baby in his mother's loving arms.

...debriefing...

[Bromontana]

Over in Cleveland, the debriefing process is a bit more intense. From the DOJ's report on Cleveland PD:

An incident from 2013 in which a sergeant shot at a victim as he ran from a house where he was being held against his will is just one illustration of this problem. 12 “Anthony” 13 was being held against his will inside a house by armed assailants. When officers arrived on scene, they had information that two armed
assailants were holding several people inside the home. After officers surrounded the house,
Anthony escaped from his captors and ran from the house, wearing only boxer shorts. An officer
ordered Anthony to stop, but Anthony continued to run toward the officers. One sergeant fired
two shots at him, missing. According to the sergeant, when Anthony escaped from the house,
the sergeant believed Anthony had a weapon because he elevated his arm and pointed his hand
toward the sergeant. No other officers at the scene reported seeing Anthony point anything at the
sergeant.

The sergeant’s use of deadly force was unreasonable. It is only by fortune that he did not
kill the crime victim in this incident. The sergeant had no reasonable belief that Anthony posed
an immediate danger. The man fleeing the home was wearing only boxer shorts, making it
extremely unlikely that he was one of the hostage takers.

. healthy family athletic event to bring together Tempe police employees and members of the community in a charitable 5K run known as the “Run From The Cops”.

They've decided to 'postpone' it.

[splat]

Will pending SCOTUS free speech deliberations prevent you from posting threads like this in the future because the cops claim it's threatening in nature?

Just a thought.

[creaky fossil]

chill everyone, we're getting precogs, all criminal and terrorist behavior nipped as soon as it arises in the mind

splat, the trajectory from "emergency" responses to 9/11/2001 to present has enabled the power to do essentially what you talk about, without civil procedure recourse (right to counsel, right to plead 5th, right to confront your accuser, right to jury of peers, etc) to the accused. 25 years from now, in law school the constitutional law classes will have a lot to say about this period and what happened to "rights," and whether the "rights" existing in a document means anything when the entity tasked with protecting and implementing the document's framework ignores the document's text.

Meanwhile up here in Truckee there's a cop with a dog doing fake drug alerts. Consider yourselves warned.

NYPD are having a bad week. Seems like they have a lot of "investigating" of their own staff to do.

So the idea here is to mortally wound the guy with 5.56mm rounds at close range, then tell him to follow commands he can't follow. If he doesn't follow the commands, let the dog loose and shoot him with non lethal rounds.
