    Same hooker three times? At that point, you'd think he'd try to put a ring on her to obfuscate his extracurriculars to his higher ups...

    (Honestly, if it was off the clock, what do I care; it was a consensual transaction, right? If it was on the clock, though... where's my throwing book?)

    It just proves you shouldn't name musicals after places.

    Copenhagen is the exception.

    Saw the video and the cops are some psychos with guns. 2 video perspectives at link.



    After knocking three times at residence and then confirming they were at the wrong house, they were walking away when the man finally answered the door. They shot him in less than a second. Then his wife seems to see the body and they shoot another volley at her because she was crying. They shot so fast, and I am pretty fucking sure it is a complete lie that anyone shot at them. If the wife did shoot at them I do not blame her as all there was were gunshots and her husband was dead.

    That is not even close to self defense. That guy barely opened up the door and he had no chance. Then they executed the wife for crying.

    We don't have police, we have legalized gangs, and they can murder whomever they want.

    At least in a video game when you blow away the innocent person for no fucking reason you lose a life and might have to cough up another quarter. Not the fucking cops because we pay for it.

    You can hear the woman crying over her husband and their reaction is not to identify themselves and try to calm her down. They just start shooting away. None of the cops react badly to the dead guy knowing they are at the wrong place and just blew an innocent guy away. Do they actually train to pretend they did nothing wrong because the normal reaction if you are not in a warzone is holy shit dumbass what the fuck are you shooting at? After seeing that I am never opening the door to police ever again.

    This is manslaughter at the very least.

    Notice the Sheriff isn't claiming the tape is inaccurate or doctored, but that recording it was illegal...

    To be fair, she is an executive at the police union and was not a cop herself.

    Can we stop with the twitter news articles?

    First I have to click on the twitter link to find something to google - name, place, anything.

    So, I google Lewiston Police shoots black man, news only, and time frame is a week and guess what? No news articles about this.

    We're liberals FFS, not federaldoesn'tknowwhatnewsis.

    I’m sure that if the story gets enough traction on social media, a news source might cover the story. If we’re really lucky, they’ll do something more than simply repeat the talking points handed to them by the police. If we’re not, then it’ll take more people sharing this before we start to get something like the truth coming out.

    Because that’s how shitty things are in America. Just ask George Floyd.
