Just read that San Jose CA settled a Civil Lawsuit, soaking their Taxpayers for $650,000 while the violent civil rights violating cops continue to 'Serve and Protect.'
“The fact that these officers are still on the force, it’s completely consistent with what families here in San Jose have been talking a lot about for a long time, which is officers who kill or injure continue to move up the ladder within the police department,” he told San José Spotlight. “If they went to trial, it would resurface how violent and out of control the San Jose Police Department was during, before and after that period.”
Every §1983 Civil Lawsuit needs to demand, as a condition of settlement that the police officers who violate people's civil rights be stripped of their POST certification. This is the only way to prevent these tyrants from victimizing another innocent person. Money is not going to make you whole. Knowing that this police officer has been effectively excommunicated from the vocation and can never work in Law enforcement again is much more comforting in my opinion.
I've told 6 different #Canadian cop detachments that the reason almost all citizens hate them is due to their ongoing #SystematicRacism, zero protection for whistle-blowers, giving raises to worst of the worst police brass, not challenging their corrupt union leaders & "just following orders" like fucking Hitler SS.
Don't defend fucking institutionalized cowards - with badges/guns - over defending innocent citizens killed/maimed by those same fucking cops/corporate mercenaries you tried to defend.
For those who care about 'good cops' - why the fuck are you not fighting, tooth n nail, for genuine public accountability & protections for the very few brave enough to be #police #WhistleBlowers?!?!?
Why aren't more BC/Canadian citizens angry as heck over the fact our governments gave BILLIONS to RCMP/RCMP CIRG to break the law & assault activists & protect industry over humanity? Because of fucking corporate lobbyists powers. MONEY & POWER - #Colonizers bent on capitalism - never really change their selfish & inhumane priorities/policies unless forced to.

Police in nearly *every city* report using more overall force against Black people than white people, with DC police reporting the largest disparities among big cities. Disparities in overall police use of force are even more extreme than what has been reported in limited studies. They actually admit to it mostly.
An officer handcuffed and placed Hill facedown on the street just outside the team’s stadium. Police also handcuffed Hill’s teammate Calais Campbell, who said he was trying to “deescalate” the situation. Both men are Black. After the players were released, Hill scored a touchdown to help the Dolphins win. During the touchdown celebration, a teammate pretended to handcuff him in the end zone.
Thoughts
Chicago taxpayers alone paid $164.3 million over the past five years to resolve lawsuits that named 200 police officers who were repeatedly accused of misconduct. When we tolerate a culture of a police state and ignore the need to enforce laws for law enforcement, we do so 'in the name of a police state'. No person above the law ?
The police state starts with police blindness in the leadership.

#Trump courts #BlackVoters in #Philadelphia, asks #Christians to back him
If elected, Trump told a rally at #TempleUniversity, he would give #police "immunity" to do their jobs & "surge" federal resources to cities battling violence.
'I believe in exceptions': Trump's comments at a speech to Christian activists prompted chants of 'No dead babies!"

@Theblueone
Yeah.
Cop punches person?
No one in authority cares.
A person punches a cop back?
Person goes to jail (likey *after* having 8 more cops almost beat the person to death).
Seems about white.
Because #cops are sensitive little snowflakes
@BegoniaArizona
Contrary to the hard push in elementary school presentations all across our country, the #police are absolutely NOT your friends.
@black_intellect - seems nothing has changed as far as NYPD behavior goes in the 10 years since I left the City. The chief and Mayor lying about who exactly was assaulting who goes hand in hand with this, and is oh so predictable as well. #EndQualifiedImmunity
Supreme Court Shuts Down Qualified Immunity Claim By California Cops Who Put ‘Terrified’ 83-Year-Old on Her Knees at Gunpoint

#AbolistPoliceAbolishPrisons: It was the last of three trials against police and paramedics charged in the death of McClain, whom officers stopped following a suspicious person complaint. He was injected with the sedative after being forcibly restrained. The case received little attention until protests over the 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
McClain’s mother, Sheneen, raised her fist in the air following the verdict. “We did it! We did it! We did it!” she said as she walked away from the courthouse.

#AbolistPoliceAbolishPrisons: Manuel Ellis, a 33-year-old Black man who died in police custody and was captured on video saying he couldn't breathe.
Why it matters: The trial of the three Tacoma officers was the first test of a new police accountability law in Washington state, which revised an earlier statute that made it almost impossible to charge officers who kill in the line of duty.

Why doesn’t it surprise me, that a Cop in #Mississippi gets off scott free for shooting an #UNARMED 11yo black child in the chest?
The grand jury declined to convict him. What a bunch of bull.
I hope the family sues and takes everything this cop owns.
The cop’s lawyer said “the officer had suffered personally and financially due to the case”.
Boo fucking hoo! He shot and unarmed child.
The occupation will not be televised, but genocide will be live streamed.
