In the heat of argument cops have been known to "throw their badge" down and "quit" until they cool down. There should be a policy that if you do that dog and pony show, you out.


(Granted, nearly every cop in existence has a uniform badge, personal car badge, personal wallet badge, wall badge, etc... "turning in your badge" don't mean shit when Galls catalogue lets them order 10 back ups)

Toronto's police chief is stepping down two months before his term was set to end but he could have held onto the position well into 2021.

"New York's legislature moved swiftly Monday to pass a first wave of police reform legislation, including a ban on chokeholds, a prohibition on race-based profiling, and a measure requiring police departments and courts to track arrests by race and ethnicity to help identify patterns of bias."

Vincent D’Andraia is charged with third-degree assault, fourth-degree criminal mischief, second-degree harassment and third-degree menacing over the May 29 incident near the Barclays Center.

In the now-viral video, he can be heard calling Dounya Zayer a “stupid b—h” before shoving her with his hands, sending her flying several feet and onto the pavement.

D’Andraia, 28, walks away, with a lieutenant immediately behind him.

Prosecutors said Zayer was in the street when D’Andraia told her to move. When she asked why, he allegedly smacked her cellphone out of her hand and “violently shoved her to the ground,” an investigation found.

Zayer, 20, was hospitalized for a seizure and concussion.

Not sure if this should go here or TV or both but Cops has been canceled and LivePD is looking likely too partly because of the aboce story. Really awful and disturbing.

HBO Max has pulled Gone with the Wind and is reportedly "reevaluating" a lot of their older content that depicts racist imagery or characters. Not sure this is the right move. I tend to think if too much stuff gets pulled it will cause a reaction in the opposite direction of people rebelling against the rebellion. Maybe some type of disclaimer would be better.

Not to get further off topic regarding the police but it looks like people pushed back as Gone With the Wind shot up in digital sales at Amazon. I don't know how I feel about this either. Disney has tons of racist garbage in their early films, all of which are on Disney+. I would just put up a disclaimer and let it be. I mean, if we're going to censor stuff from the Golden Age of cinema then we're in for a treat because GWTW is hardly the worst offender.

I think GWTW is overrated but I respect the hell out of Clark Gable standing up for Hattie McDaniel in a time when almost no one was taking a stand for their black coworkers. The movie has some negative imagery for sure, but at least the star of the movie had basic decency.

He’s suffered a brain injury... you can’t even tell which one I’m referring to. I mean the guy that was assaulted by the police. He’s beginning physical therapy.

Report: Hundreds of Police Officers Belong to Racist Facebook Groups

Investigative journalists have discovered hundreds of law enforcement officers around the country who are active in members-only Facebook groups that are based on racism, hate and ... well, it would be nice to add a third thing here, but that’s about it.
www.theroot.com www.theroot.com

Some of the extreme examples they found were:

  • Geoffery Crosby, a guard at one of America’s toughest prisons, the Angola Prison in Louisiana. Crosby allegedly belonged to 56 extremist groups.
  • James “J.T.” Thomas, a detective at the Harris County Sheriff’s Office in Houston, who posted a meme of a black woman shortly after hurricane Harvey hit the city. His post said: “A reporter asked a black woman how many Churches had their doors open during the storm??? She said she didn’t know, she eats at Popeye’s.” Thomas was reportedly fired after Reveal notified Harris County officials. But during his appeal, he asked: “If you remove the black woman’s picture, what’s racist about it?”
  • Will Weisenberger, a sheriffs deputy in Madison County, Miss., who belonged to “White Lives Matter” and was involved in a lawsuit that accused him of systematic racism in his policing. He is also accused of punching an already-handcuffed black man in the face and told investigators that he “may have used the n-word.”
  • Lt. Richard Moravec, who belonged to an Islamophobic group. As a Chicago police officer, Moravec has been the subject of 70 allegations including criminal misconduct and excessive force.
  • Joel Quinn, an Abbeville, Ga., cop who defended himself by explaining that it was his “responsibility to detect possible threats to my community all the way up to and including my country,” adding: “Think about this, majority of crimes are committed by minorities (black, Hispanic, etc.) per FBI statistics yet I don’t ‘prey’ on any particular one.”
  • Wisconsin corrections officer Sheldon Best, who told Reveal news that he holds no discriminatory views even though he once commented on a report about more babies of color being born in the U.S. than white children, writing: “Maybe, but minority on minority homocide [sic] will make sure adults of color remain a minority.”

And, of course, there's some dingaling in the replies, talking about, "Well, if you say that all cops are bad, because some of them hurt and kill people, don't you have to say that all protesters are bad, too, because some of them hurt and kill people?" Uh, no, dumbass. First of all, protesters aren't paid by the state, second of all, there's no such thing as a Fraternal Order of Protesters, and third, if there weren't bad cops, the people wouldn't need to protest, in the first fucking place.

I hope Louisville burns to the ground. I suspected they'd get off free as soon as I saw news breaking that Louisville was enacting city shutdown procedures in preparation for the decision.
