    black people must feel like they are living with the coronavirus every day in normal life; you can just be minding your business and then your whole life gets wrecked by some bad cop

    Covid is teaching America the black experience. That why I get shitty when the "muh rights" people run their traps. Our rights have never not been infringed on. Add in unemployment, evictions, shit wages for work and people minimizing what you've gone through because they don't believe people have really suffered that much and welcome to our existence.

    France is apparently trying to ban (or has banned, various articles say different stuff) video taping police.

    Interesting, he threatened to shoot the cops several times and yet the officers did not fear for their lives.

    Considering the article is from 2015 about 2014 statistics, the number is possibly even higher now, especially as those are only the federal numbers and the article states that they don’t include state or local asset forfeitures.

    “Armstrong claims that "the police are now taking more assets than the criminals," but this isn't exactly right: The FBI also tracks property losses from larceny and theft, in addition to plain ol' burglary. If you add up all the property stolen in 2014, from burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft and other means, you arrive at roughly $12.3 billion, according to the FBI. That's more than double the federal asset forfeiture haul.”

    It seems reasonable that reported civil asset forfeiture is higher than only reported burglary when you take in certain factors, like this:

    “One other point: Those asset forfeiture deposit amounts are not necessarily the best indicator of a rise in the use of forfeiture. "In a given year, one or two high-dollar cases may produce unusually large amounts of money — with a portion going back to victims — thereby telling a noisy story of year-to-year activity levels," the Institute for Justice explains. A big chunk of that 2014 deposit, for instance, was the $1.7 billion Bernie Madoff judgment, most of which flowed back to the victims.”

    I do agree that there needs to be more accountability when it comes to civil asset forfeiture.

    “One final caveat is that these are only the federal totals and don't reflect how much property is seized by state and local police each year. Reliable data for all 50 states is unavailable, but the Institute of Justice found that the total asset forfeiture haul for 14 states topped $250 million in 2013. The grand 50-state total would probably be much higher.

    Still, boil down all the numbers and caveats above and you arrive at a simple fact: In the United States, in 2014, more cash and property transferred hands via civil asset forfeiture than via burglary. The total value of asset forfeitures was more than one-third of the total value of property stolen by criminals in 2014. That represents something of a sea change in the way police do business — and it's prompting plenty of scrutiny of the practice.”

    Look if some rectal tumor of a judge signed a warrant, fine, cops are doing their job. They're still shit but that's a job. Drawing two guns and pointing them at the ceiling where you know there are kids upstairs lands you in "irredeemable scum"

    It’s always interesting to see when they choose to follow orders and they choose to ignore the laws they’re supposed to enforce. For example, curfew or mask mandate at a anti-mask rally unenforceable, but a curfew at a BLM protest must be enforced.

    23 year old black man in Columbus was killed by a cop the other day. They were executing a search warrant for somebody else in the neighborhood. Cops claim the guy they shot drove by and flashed a gun at them. As he was walking into his house, cop told him to drop his weapon and he didn't respond. Shot him in the back 3 times. Witnesses say all he had on him was a sub and his keys. Cops say they recovered a gun, but didn't say where they found it. Family said he had a concealed carry permit.

    Columbus police said there is no body camera video of the shooting because members of the task force from the Franklin County Sheriff's Office are not issued body cameras.

    And yet that white dude can act crazy and threaten officers with his gun in the same state, and drive away from the police without anything happening.

    Yea read that yesterday. Incredibly fucked up. Completely innocent man murdered while putting a key in his own front door. No video, no witnesses, so we all know how this plays out. Good cop, bad black man.

    Was talking to my wife about it. If he was waving his gun around, he's dumb, but that doesn't deserve death. The cop could be saying that as a defense for murdering him. The biggest issue is it's the cops word vs everybody else. With the police policing themselves, we know how this ends.

    Also, am I reading this right that they're calling a guy shot in the back 3 times a suspect??

    If 2020 has taught us anything it’s that a black man openly waving and flaunting a firearm at cop is a totally normal thing that happens all the time so that story seems airtight.

    Also as a lawful gun owner with a valid concealed carry permit I assume the NRA is tripping over themselves racing to this man’s defense right?

    My understanding is that he wasn't related to their investigation at all. He was just a black man with a gun. A legally owned gun by a man with a concealed weapons license. Look, I despise guns. But with our laws as they are now, a cop can't approach someone bc they have a gun while being black. That's not justification to stop them while entering their house. And why should we assume he was waving a gun around? He was literally walking into his house with sandwich when a cop approached him. The far more likely scenario is the cop was looking for a black suspect, saw this random black man, and paniced when he saw he had a gun. The cop is going to say he was threatened and feared for his life and there's no video to say otherwise.
