So is shouting "he is going for my gun" considered along the same lines as shouting fire in a crowded theater? Experience would seem to show us that it is far, far deadlier. Is it inciting a police shooting? Attempted murder?

Without the bolded the police officer looks exactly like a guy who's going to rob him.

What would have happened if Jones shot Raja first? Raja pulled up on him in a plain white van, in plain clothes, Doesn't identify himself as a cop, points a gun at Jones, and tells him to put his hands up. What happens to Jones if he ends up drawing and shooting Raja? Florida is a stand your ground state, right?

Theoretically Jones would be justified... I think.

someone needs to explain the concept of "snitches get stitches" to this ****ing punk

dashcam of a cop using excessive force in kc and giving the poor kid brain damage because of a mistaken warrant of the car he was driving. what a piece of work this douchebag cop is. obv you wonder if he would have ever gone to prison if it was a black kid and not a white one

It needs to be a criminal offense along the lines of attempting to pervert the cause of justice to deliberately avoid recording.

Plus the kid's dad was a cop in a neighbouring department. Were it not for that fact, chances are the dirty cop would have gotten away with it.

It's like Square but for asset forfeiture

I'm absolutely raging.

A guy has a joint in his car...empty his bank account. Liberty

cliffnotes: cop is driving while doodling on his computer, rear-ends another car, kills a kid, you won't believe what happens next...

An exec for a big tech company was riding his bike on Mulholland, got killed by an LA sheriff's deputy who was working on his computer. Deputy lied about circumstances. They, of course, didn't prosecute because "his boss wanted him to finish reports as soon as possible".


So being in a hurry now excuses vehicular homicide and lying on a police report as long as you have a badge.

You know those terrorists are well known for citing Alabama law. Is kind of dumb to ask his followers to contact the police department though.

Prosecutor's get caught hiding evidence in a murder trial. https://www.google.com/amp/www.cbsne...client=safari#

Hide evidence in the highest profile case in the country... what can go wrong?

Worst part is that since the mob is on the side of the prosecution nobody will care, and that this is endemic in the system will be totally unaddressed.

Heh, sorry for the late response, but:

It's mostly my fault but you're not understanding. Basically, imo Rice being a really big kid and having a realistic replica (i.e. 'man with a gun') makes the cops' actions worse and more inexcusable, not the opposite.

I've tried to come up with a succinct way to explain this for the past 3 years but I'm not there yet. But one partial way to put it and add on to some stuff i've said before:

Cops shooting a tiny smiling kid with a neon water pistol would be a bizarre fluke or 'accident', a fantasyland thing, but Rice was no accident. The cops saw a black 'man' with a 'gun' and summarily executed him. Considering we have video that's not hyperbole. And it's way more disturbing imo. That he turned out to be a kid that just hit a growth spurt, with an airsoft replica, is just anti-icing on the anti-cake to further highlight the cops' ineptitude and the things fundamentally broken in our society with regards to race, freedom, gun control, the list could go on.

The anti-cherry on the bottom is that pro-freedom and pro-gun people are on the ****ing cops' side! We have a black 'man' with a 'gun' and he's summarily executed. Where's the ****ing freedom there?


p.s. The part about 'toy' is that an airsoft replica stretches the definition of 'toy' but... eh. They have those little orange neon indicators and i'm almost certain the cops tampered with evidence and removed it.

I assume the 'too' refers to the 2nd amendment, so eli5 any conceivable scenario where a person in Rice's situation gets executed.

The US is filled with guns. Guns are coming in the windows, but if the wrong person touches one they're immediately put down?

Because to me a reasonable response by the cops to seeing Rice would be to chuckle and say, "Lawl, only in America!" I am only like 1-2% joking.

This officer did good, but talk about a low bar in America

Alabama Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard convicted on 12 of 23 states ethics charges: faces up to 20 years in prison for each count.

Unfortunately it's the state prosecuting him, not the Feds. We'll have to come back around to this to see if he gets a real sentence or if he gets off with a slap on the wrist. With all the attention on this case, it's possible he'll get a decent sentence but I'm not holding my breath.

This is a time when the dogs getting shot would have been the better outcome. Dangerous dogs returned to irresponsible owner.

Apparently the Oakland PD is a cesspool.

They've gone through 3 police Chiefs in a month or so, have an investigation into racists texts sent by officers, an investigation into a girlfriend of a police officer writing reports for the officers, and sex trafficking and/or abuse involving at least 14 cops and their superiors.

Jesus, don't forget the most important part, that led to the rest of this, a cop killed his wife, a bunch of other cops helped him cover it up and make it look like suicide, then the cop actually committed real suicide and left a note implicating everyone in the kiddie rape.
