Well, that just got a bit more serious. Racist cops might want to take notes here that this administration ain’t going to fuck around.

Seems like having 10 people roll up with ARs and swat gear like they’re taking down a cartel kingpin might be a wee bit excessive.

And those other 10 seconds that they won’t show even to the family is that much worse, or can’t see the feds involved this early in the investigation.

I wonder how many cops have to go to prison before other cops start to consider not murdering people.

You’re presuming he’s not already here, just Biden his time until he tells folks who he is, relishing the anonymity.

Current DA for EDNC is an acting. His predecessor, who notably did nothing with the referrals of McRae Dowless for election fraud in prior years’ elections until after the elections board declared the NC-09 election invalid due to fraud, resigned on Feb 26. Think he’d be jumping into this case?

Elections matter.

Why is it always the tail? One would think the snout would be more of a trophy. Or is it that they really want to cut off the 3 foot penis, but that’s considered too gauche? But the tail… hint, it’s covered in elephant shit.

No, we’d kick him in the nuts every day for falling into Rove’s trap where Rather immunized Bush the lesser from the story of him quitting his Texas Air National Guard service obligation with two years still to go.

That’s as may be but the key question is whether “one or more” should be treated as a singular or a plural.

One of the best ideas I’ve heard is to make the police retirement/pension funds pay court awarded damages to the victims’ families. What was the Floyd payout, 27 million - paid by the city? Make the cops pay out of their pension funds for the bad cops on the force. See how they like getting their financial asses shot full of holes.

Well, there’s that.

“On Tuesday morning, shortly before the announcement of the federal probe, the legal team for the Brown family presented the findings of an independent autopsy showing what they described as several bullet wounds Brown had sustained, including one in the back of his head and four others in his arm.”

THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!!???

Yes their lawyer watched all the video and said it was an execution.

I hope somebody pays a price for this and that the price is high.

He only saw 20 seconds of it. The sheriff says the whole video is only 30 seconds, so those other 10 seconds must be damning as fuck for the cops. What, pull up and just start shooting with no warning or time to react.
