How many millions did they pay out to the family for a justified killing? Oh, 12 million. Why would they pay out without cause? Just fucking ridiculous. No justice, no peace. And no justice means that the security forces will rain down fire on protestors. Cause they can, cause fascism, and there is never justice in a fascist state unless of course you are one of the fascists. As Louisville police chief Robert Schroeder said the authorities would not tolerate any Violence or destruction of property. We are prepared to meet any challenge we may face Of course they won't stand back, they want the confederacy back. Emboldened fascists love cracking black skulls, oh and shooting black people in the back, oh and shooting them for breathing, oh an putting their knees on their necks until they die. And finally being a bunch of fucking cowardly wankers who are scared about policing by consent, because power and supremacy.
Let this horror show stop come November 3rd.

(53,764 posts)Pay someone to say the cops knocked, even though 15 witnesses said there was no knock. And it's done, justified, even if the person you were in bed with said he/she heard no knock.

(1,846 posts)When Michael Brown was killed years ago, this old white dude spent about 100 hours researching whether or not that type of killing at the hands of police was a real problem.
Lol I led a sheltered life.
My research showed:
1). Police officers kill an unarmed person of color. Usually monthly there was a new case.
2). Excuses usually followed the killing, "they made a furtive movement", "went for what they thought was a gun", "appeared they were going to attack". Some times guns were planted.
3). No charges filed.
4). City pays out wrongful death settlement.
5). Rinse and repeat.
I did a post on it.
It makes you sick.

(3,660 posts)We can no longer count on the states to do it and once we take back the White House this November, every police shooting or abuse of power needs to be investigated and prosecuted by the DOJ. It is the only way that we will begin to see this shit stop. Only when police officers "know" they will face federal charges "every time" they violate a person's civil rights will they truly start to get the message.

And they wonder about the power of BLM. The police continue to reinforce the reasons for BLM.
