Crescent City, FL | Nobody pays attention if enough time passes. I can't find any other source and couldn't crack this paywall, but this story says a Federal trial (civil lawsuit? Not sure) for the pigs who killed Cardell Vance in 2017 just ended. palatkadailynews.com/local-news/jur…
23-year-old Cardell Vance was in crisis and was committing self-harm with a knife when police murdered him in 2017. | jacksonville.com/story/news/cri…
Windham, OH | "The Portage County Sheriff's Office redacted nearly a page of details in the report, citing a state exemption for confidential law enforcement investigatory records." beaconjournal.com/story/news/202…
Note what police have *not said*. They have *not said* Cora Baughman pointed or fired a gun at them. This article says she pointed a gun at the neighbor, who called police, who then killed her. Very sus. yahoo.com/news/911-call-…
"Holding a gun" in Suwanee, GA | "He was confronted by deputies and got out of the truck still holding a gun, Ammons said, at which point he was shot. No deputies were injured during the incident." ajc.com/news/crime/gbi…
No other justification offered. Just "holding a gun." In Georgia. Ok.

https://twitter.com/OLAASM/status/947090976115392513?s=20&t=ppT0uVTIFwqZQb8JE7OteA
Wichita pig Justin Rapp murdered Andrew Finch. Finch's niece, who was in the house at the time, killed herself within a year. Her boyfriend, who discovered her body, killed himself. Justin Rapp did all this killing with one shot. He sued for lost wages.

That shit makes me so mad.
Oh, cool. Another story on UTTERLY FUCKING USELESS CRB's (Civilian Review Boards). Morgantown, WV | "Monongalia County Circuit Court Judge Susan Tucker ruled against the board last December in a case filed by the local Fraternal Order of Police" wvmetronews.com/2022/05/18/mor…
Anyone who was pushing CRB's as some new and effective potential "reform" in 2020 to quell the uprising should be defenestrated. And any grassroots organizer or organization who joined them in this predictable, failbound diversionary tactic should meet the same fate.
What could go wrong? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Atlanta, GA) | "30 years ago, the killing of a strip club owner [revealed] a vast burglary ring involving police officers... [APD] is considering changing its rules to allow off-duty officers to work at strip clubs..." archive.is/wiEjZ#selectio…
They had to ban pigs from moonlighting as security at strip clubs in Atlanta because - and you'll never guess - pigs are all corrupt, thieving, hyperviolent fucks who are absolutely a menace to our communities. But 30 years have passed, so results will be different this time?
Total corruption... Today in #PigTech: NYC, NY | "What was not widely known as Mr. Adams lauded [#BolaWrap] was that his friend, political benefactor and current chief of staff, Frank Carone, had a significant financial stake in the company that makes it." archive.is/Y2cik#selectio…
What do I always say about Bodycams? Same for fucking BolaWrap.

Lionel Dely was a cop at the time of the crime, but the headline is "former cop" since he was fired *for the rape* and now he is technically no longer a cop. Neat trick, media. (Atlanta, GA) | fox5atlanta.com/news/atlanta-p…
Police are racist misogynists, so what "their discretion" means is clear. (UK) | "The cost of living crisis will trigger an increase in crime and officers should use their “discretion” when deciding whether to prosecute people who steal in order to eat" theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/m…
Neat idea to say pigs shouldn't arrest people for stealing food because shit is hitting the fan and is certain to get worse, but police discretion is not an enviable solution.
How about: just don't arrest desperate people for stealing food, Javert? Period.
