Defund the Police

damn, take out the twitter links and this thread is like a vacant lot.

The man that threatened to kill @RepJayapal at her home this weekend has been released from jail because @SeattlePD did not provide prosecutors with necessary evidence on time. @SeattlePD incidentally had the largest contingent of officers present on Jan 6

When this guy shoots her can we charge the police with aiding and abetting?

Cincinnati police officer and former reality TV figure caught on camera using racist slur
Rose Valentino, a 14-year veteran who appeared on TLC's "Police Women of Cincinnati," has been taken off the streets in the wake of her April 5 outburst.

Holy spoiled realtor, Batman!

The so-called "trial tax"/trial penalty is the notion that a defendant might get a harsher sentence at trial than what they are offered in a plea bargain. I think that represents an unfair way of looking at things, because a jury or judge can just as easily impose a lighter sentence than what prosecutors might offer. It's just a fact of life that trial is a risk, and it sucks that sometimes those risks don't pay off, but that's life.

I tend to be pro-felony murder rule. If people think it should be revoked in their jurisdictions because of situations like this, the solution is obvious: get their legislatures to abolish or limit it.

I only see one Republican so far.

Skip to the 16 second mark and you’ll see Congressman Andy Biggs do the same.



So that’s at least two.

See more than one Republican yet? If not, maybe it's time for an eye exam.

I have an eye test tomorrow, as it happens.

I'm going to demand that, unless my new prescription glasses enable me to see FF's dignity, they refund me in full or offer me the James Webb telescope as an alternative.

I've been saying for years before Trump was president that we should get rid of the alphabet agencies so I'm fine with it. Glad to see Republicans finally on board, but I'm sure this won't last long.

Former detective to plead guilty to federal charges in Breonna Taylor case

Parents hear that their kids’ school is locked down because of a shooter, they show up to get their kids and are tasered by the police.

Update: The police have released nothing about the person who caused the lockdown, but are more than happy to release details of the parents they arrested.
