Law and Order 2 - Page 231 - Politics and Economics

The surveillance project was operated by the MPD’s office of homeland security, which officials said was “originally designed to deal with threats to the MPD or Memphis in general”.

In a deposition for the ACLU lawsuit, officials said the office had been “retooled” around 2016, due to an increase in policing-related protests and to focus on “local individuals or groups that were staging protests”.

This included the publication of daily joint information briefings on potential protests and known protesters. According to the suit, the briefings regularly included information about meetings on private property, panel discussions, town halls and even innocuous events like “Black Owned Food Truck Sunday”.

A good deal of that information appears to have been obtained by a fake MPD Facebook profile for “Bob Smith”, which the ACLU said was used “to view private posts, join private groups, and otherwise pose as a member of the activist community”.

On the one hand, cops infiltrating food truck rodeos is lol and taxpayers should be super pissed.

on the other hand, I can't get too upset at what happens when people accepting friend request from "bob smith" without any idea who that person is. If the cop had used his real name those guys still would have accepted the friend request, they were essentially using it as a broadcast medium.

the DA that tried her is getting primaried, but Shelby is getting more work than ever before.. The fraternal order of police are pushing the DA's opponent everywhere. The republican run-off is today .

remove the DA from office for bringing a case against her, and help her teach other cops to avoid getting caught.. CLASSIC oklahoma.

Quote:

As Greene*detailed in a post*the next day, and as the body-cam footage confirms, she approached the scene and was immediately blocked by Officer James Brooks.
He continues to block her as she tries to keep shooting, at one point raising the camera high above Brooks’s head.

Brooks is quickly joined by Officer Adam Paulsen, and the two advise her that she can not take photographs because doing so violates the HIPAA rights of the nearly naked man they have cuffed. HIPAA or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act outlines an individual’s rights to medical privacy.

“There’s also a First Amendment,” Greene responds. “Have you heard of it?”
“That doesn’t supersede HIPAA,” Paulsen says.
Brooks repeats Paulsen’s line, and adds, “Step away, or you’ll be arrested for interference"

Denver cops detain a reporter for taking pictures of an arrest citing HIPPA (medical privacy) laws, which is not a thing that involves the police at all. They handcuff her while telling her to 'act like a lady'. The DA, of course, isn't going to press charges and the police chief seems non commital on teaching his officers about the law.

After Sacramento Inspector General releases critical report of a deputy-involved shooting, Sacramento Sheriff moves to block all oversight

Quote:

Weeks after Sacramento Inspector General Rick Braziel issued a report critical of a deputy-involved shooting, Sheriff Scott Jones said he has locked Braziel out of department facilities and will not allow him access to records or department personnel — effectively ending independent oversight of the department.

Jones also called for the county to sever ties with Braziel.

In a letter to Sacramento County Executive Navdeep Gill dated Aug. 20 and obtained by The Bee, Jones called Braziel’s conclusions “misguided, destructive and dangerous” and accused Braziel of being politically motivated when he questioned the decisions of officers in the May 2017 shooting of Mikel McIntyre on Highway 50 in Rancho Cordova.

Let's take a look at some desired Republican policies in action! More cops and weapons in schools? Sure thing:

When Ohio student wouldn't wake up in class, school officer fired her taser near him

Quote:

The ensuing electric buzz startled the student awake and stunned a northeast Ohio charter school community that felt a weapon used to subdue combative criminals shouldn't be used to rouse a drowsy student.

Quote:

“While on our School campus, a Smithville officer attempted to wake a sleeping student by deploying a taser near the vicinity of the student,” school leaders said in a letter obtained by WTMJ. “At no time was any student in any kind of danger.”

Boskoski, who is also a member of the Air Force Reserve, works part time for the Smithfield Police Department. She could not immediately be reached for comment.

But Smithfield Police Chief Howard Funk says that Boskoski was previously disciplined for a separate Taser-related incident a month ago. Funk told the news station he was “disappointed that this took place.” Boskoski is on unpaid leave.

Alsbrook, 50, is the former Texas coordinator of Blood & Honour USA, a racist skinhead group with neo-Nazi ties. He also ran a pair of neo-Nazi video and music companies and a skinhead website glorifying pictures of racist beatdowns, and was charged with the attempted murder of another skinhead—but had his case dropped when the alleged victim refused to testify. Those ties came to light when Alsbrook was named interim police chief of Colbert, Oklahoma last year, leading him to resign under pressure.

Oh damn

But wait....

Quote:

But Alsbrook’s new employer says that’s all water under the bridge. Alsbrook started a new job as a reserve officer in the police department of Achille, Oklahoma, KXII reported this week. The police chief there told KXII that he’d known of Alsbrook’s neo-Nazi past, but that he’d since moved on, and was no longer racist.

....

Quote:

“We don’t consider something from 20 years ago,” Achille City Clerk Laura Stanley told the Herald Democrat this week of Alsbrook’s hiring.

Alsbrook gave the Herald Democrat a similar comment last year before his resignation. “Left all that racist stuff behind me 15 years ago,” Albrook texted them in 2017. “Been helping people ever since. I have a clean record so I volunteered to be an unpaid police office a few years back.”

A decade earlier, he’d been repping Blood & Honor at the skinhead conference.

LOL and he's incredulous about having to quit

“I think the video speaks for itself,” Bachman told the station in his defense. “I didn’t choke her or manhandle her. I merely put my hand up to guide her to the courtroom.”

He thinks the video looks good for him!!!!

I'm not sure why he went running after her, is it common for judges to chase down litigants outside of Bull episodes?

No. Real judges have bailiffs.

He's a magistrate, which is more "judge lite" than judge. They are more prone to weird behavior, but still rare.

I guess they couldn't prove that the attack was premeditated to get first-degree murder in the minds of the jurors.

Regardless, he's going away for life. Guess cops are only batting .999 in cases of shooting black people and getting away with it now.
