So not only will Stephon Clark's killers not stand trial, but they managed to make it sound like he wanted to die and escalated to him being shot because it was his fault. https://thisis50.com/2019/03/03/sac...tally-shot-stephon-clark-will-not-be-charged/
they're saying all of them should have been held accountable by the criminal justice system. it would have been better to produce actual instances where they should have and werent. it was an attempt to get the cop haters to take the bait and it worked.
It literally says 99.7% of them were not held accountable. It always amazes me how obtuse you can be.
It's always weird when people take this approach when the correct answer in right in front of them. We aren't discussing an opinion, the tweet literally said it.
Nearly 100% of officer shootings (killings) were deemed justified. DBL is insinuating that the % should be lower. So is the tweet. He never said "all of them" should be accountable, which is the post of his that you are quoting. The tweet also does not say that all of them should have been found accountable.
You're going to have to explain it to me tbh. Maybe I'm misinterpreting the tweet. You think the tweet implies "all of them should have been held accountable by the criminal justice system," as butcher said?
His argument was that only the .03% of the officers convicted by the justice system were held accountable. He then argued that 99.7% of the officers were not held accountable because they weren't convicted. You would have an argument if he argued something as simple as "some of the 99.7% were not held accountable" but instead he argued they all were not held accountable. Surely you believe more than 3 of the shootings were fairly investigated by the police?
I didn't realize that he was getting at "convictions." When he (twitter) wrote "did not result in officer being held accountable...." I (wrongly) assumed he meant 99.7% of the officers did not face any criminal charges. 99.7% of the officers were never arrested. You are explaining that he meant "he then argued that 99.7% of the officers were not held accountable because they weren't convicted." Regardless, I thought he was just stating a fact. 99.7% didn't face criminal accountability (which possibly means conviction). Assuming the % is accurate, it would obviously be a fact. I didn't see the implication that all 99.7% needed to be convicted. IMO....If there were only 3-4 arrest made after 1,072 people were shot, I'd say that is too low of a number. I'm not arguing that all 1,072 of the cop's should have been arrested, but I would expect more than 0.3%.
https://wgno.com/2019/03/02/jpso-investigating-shocking-video-of-arrest-on-metairie-parade-route/ Every one of those cops should be fired and charged. I have zero confidence they will.
Exactly. Nobody suggested all were in the wrong but I feel confident in saying that 99.7% weren't good shoots.
battering the dudes head in with the mace canister with his arms held out while macing the whole room seems counter-intuitive
Sex... and then a sleep aid that put him/them to sleep. Yeahhhhhhh... right. "Sleep aid." Dollars to donuts that the police department is covering up for illicit drugs. Or at least alcohol.
There's a good cops thread somewhere but I can't find it so here the judge fucking bribes her holy fuck
Puzzling number of men tied to Ferguson protests have died FERGUSON, MO. Two young men were found dead inside torched cars. Three others died of apparent suicides. Another collapsed on a bus, his death ruled an overdose. Six deaths, all involving men with connections to protests in Ferguson, Missouri, drew attention on social media and speculation in the activist community that something sinister was at play. Police say there is no evidence the deaths have anything to do with the protests stemming from a white police officer's fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, and that only two were homicides with no known link to the protests. But some activists say their concerns about a possible connection arise out of a culture of fear that persists in Ferguson 4 ½ years after Brown's death, citing threats — mostly anonymous — that protest leaders continue to receive. * https://www.kansascity.com/news/state/missouri/article228054699.html#storylink=cpy
Have to imagine there is some recourse for child services not notifying a parent of that first incident - that sounds absurd, but it is south Mississippi so who knows.
And the revelation that will certainly shock everyone... Spoiler The town of 5,400 in northeastern Kansas is 97 percent white, census figures show.
Agreed. Everyone knows that if you're carrying items from a moving truck to a house, you're pretty much always going to be a gangbanger.
