This is really good overall, but I do find it sickening that so far it’s against female officers that the wheels of justice turn so swiftly. Even though they surely account for a small minority of overall deadly police shootings.
It’s almost as if the “blue line” is really the good ol’ boys club. /s :rage:

Wasn’t she the union lawyer for the police as well? Seems like there were a couple of reasons to make an example of her that have nothing to do with actual police reform.

WTF is wrong with these people? It’s April in SC. On your list of better things to do with your time are: tending the garden, sitting on the porch sipping lemonade (sub in bev of choice), playing lawn games (badminton is fun), literally so many nicer things to do than accost random Black people walking through the neighborhood.
I don’t want to give Fox “News” all the credit, but I’m starting to think these guys have “Fox brain.”
No offense to real foxes intended. You are awesome.

The fishing in Lake Murray should be amazing right now, and with a short drive to the Charleston area, inshore saltwater fishing is excellent. That’s a much better way to spend time than assaulting someone and going to jail.

some possibly helpful tips if you ever see something like that:

We need the list of tactics that work on cops, too. I hate to see more money wasted on a sensitivity class, because a session or two isn’t going to stop the long-term patterns of thinking and behavior they’ve been encouraged to use throughout their careers:

Exactly, as this piece also shows:

The system as it exists makes it almost impossible to avoid harm.

The incident summons the words of the civil rights leader Robert F. Williams, a critic of the philosophy of nonviolent protest, who wrote: “The majority of white people in the United States have literally no idea of the violence with which Negroes in the South are treated daily — nay, hourly. The violence is deliberate, conscious, condoned by authorities. It has gone on for centuries and is going on today, every day, unceasing and unremitting.”

I’m sure the NRA will chime in about the violation of the victim’s 2A rights any second now. Yup. Any time

Ah, America, where a nearly two hour drive is short :smiley:

100% agree on fishing being all around better though!
