Video shows a Tucson sheriff's deputy tackling then pinning a Black teenager with no arms or legs to the ground with his full body weight, after an adult at the group home where the teenager lives, called the police because he knocked over a trash can.

Here is the video stand-alone if you cannot read the @washingtonpost article.
@washingtonpost After this video was made public, the Pima County Attorney's Office dropped criminal charges against the child (and the child who recorded the video). But the deputy has not been identified and there has been no suggestion that he be fired, or that charges be filed against him.

In March 2018, a cop driving at twice the speed limit crashed into an SUV killing a baby. Police charged him AND the baby's mother with negligent homicide, because they said she hadn't strapped her baby into her car seat properly. Now he won't face charges.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/11…
The cop's name is Christopher Manuel and he is still an officer with the Baton Rouge PD.

He is not even being charged with SPEEDING even tho he was driving 100 mph in a 50 mph zone.
The DA said they didn't initially charge him with speeding because that would have interfered with the prosecution of the negligent homicide charge. Not at all clear how.

I think so many people are convinced you have to carry ID because police do stop and ask young Black and Brown people for ID all the time and, if they don't show it, they do arrest them.

But that's illegal harassment. And the arrest charge will have nothing to do with ID.
Because there is no law on the books that requires you to carry ID. And the police are so used to doing this, they even trip up themselves - which is how they ended up tweeting this.
And why I wrote my initial thread.

It's the same way police stop and search young Black and Brown people for no reason and then arrest them and come up with a reason for the stop.

NYPD says the young man selling candy on the subway was arrested because he refused to "provide identification."

Nowhere in the US are you required to carry ID. In some states, including NY, in certain circumstances, police can ask you your name & other identifying information.
In New York, the police always have the right to ask for your name and identifying information if they are placing you under arrest.

A cop has discretion to issue a ticket or place you under arrest when they intend to charge you with a misdemeanor or an infraction/violation.
How do you know if you are under arrest? Contrary to what you see on TV, it has nothing to do with being "read your rights" or Miranda warnings.

It's a bit more complicated than this, but essentially it comes down to when the police take "custody" of you.

Part 2 to the thread starts here!

"Bkdk. Pro Hero and drummer Bakugou. Quirkless chubby sex toy/porn shop worker Deku. "



Let's get kinky 🥕
Katsuki readjusted the glasses that sat on the bridge of his nose, while he pulled his hood down over his head more before pushing the door open to the porn shop A Persuasion. The faint tinkle of the bell the only announcement that after two weeks he was back at the start.
The start of what may be a new addiction to one known as Green Bunny. Who would have guessed that taking that simple green business card would have lead him here; rearranging the breaks and down time in his life just so that he could have more, take more in of freckles and sin.

"Fuck." Jungkook sighs to himself, dejected with tears streaming down his face as he tries to pull himself together. He’s almost home, biking as fast as he can.

He just wants to curl up in a ball in his bed, blast Winter Bear, and drink some banana milk to lift his spirits.

got distracted by a hopekook au featuring hobi as a dragon shapeshifter and kook as the newest dragon slayer slash knight sent to the mountain he’s occupied
he’s never actually seen a dragon before, but he’s heard all the stories of the dragons in the west, destroying kingdom after kingdom, leaving only death and ruin in their wake
kook is the bastard son of the king whose kingdom has dragon!hoseok flying sort of... menacingly... through the air and maybe sometimes stealing a goat or a sheep or two? he’s never actually... killed a human... as far as jk’s aware... aside from the previous dragon slayers

Mayor of Lancaster says an @LASDHQ #deputy was shot by a #SNIPER.

The rookie deputy was walking in the sheriff’s station parking lot when he was shot by someone in a nearby mental health facility. That building overlooks the sheriff’s station parking lot bit.ly/31XPpdw
The suspect is reportedly somewhere inside the mental health facility.

The LA County Sheriff’s deputy is in the hospital, but is expected to recover. His bullet proof vest reportedly deflected the bullet. I’m told he is a young, rookie deputy.
A @LASDHQ Captain tells us the injured deputy is just 21-years-old. He is a patrol trainee who has been with the department for a year. He is in good spirits, and is going to be OK.
