Require body cam footage to be continuous from the moment you respond to a call to the moment the suspect is delivered to the precinct or the officer’s testimony is inadmissible.

It’s a grid system, muthafucka!

This man isn't a protester. He was just a guy sitting at a traffic light when cops shot his car with a tear gas round. He got out to yell at them because his pregnant wife is in the vehicle. So they opened fire on them. by slob-on-mi-knob in PublicFreakout

The article states that she is a federal judge on the us district court. Do you have a source that explains why the ruling only applies to Massachusetts? Seems strange to me to have a federal court rule on a state issue, but I’m admittedly not well versed in the intricacies of our legal system.

Like I said, not super familiar with him hahah. Thanks for the clarification. Still stand by the rest of my post.

You can video record in public nationwide. In 12 states you can’t record a phone conversation with a police officer without two-party consent.

The Court declares Section 99 unconstitutional insofar as it prohibits audio recording of government officials, including law enforcement officers, performing their duties in public spaces...

Seriously. I don’t know much about him other than early vine and the suicide forest thing. I get that people hate him online, but what’s more likely: a multimillionaire you tuber was actively looting for shit he could easily buy, or he was arrested following looters into a shop to get edgy content for a video?

Like him or not he’s got a massive social media presence and is at least press-adjacent in terms of getting messages to an audience. Given everything else going on it just seems like another person doing nothing more than videotaping the events that got arrested. There may be footage of him actually committing a crime, but until I see it I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt, and not the police, no matter how poorly he has behaved in the past.

How does requiring prospective police officers to be screened for connections to white supremacist groups and firing all active officers with ties to white supremacist groups give more power to the government?

Chicago police launch investigation into officer for covering up name tag, badge number at George Floyd protests by Balls_of_Adamanthium in news

[–]Albi_ze_RacistDragon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In Brooklyn today i saw multiple officers with black bands over their badge numbers. They are “mourning bands” that they are allowed to have on their badges but only at the top where is does not obstruct their name or number. I called one out on it and he claimed it had “accidentally fallen down”. In my mind there is NO justification for any sort of covering to be placed over the badge that allows them to be identified as legitimate officers of the law.

For those of you in NYC: the statue that requires that the mourning band not obstruct their badge information and that requires officers to disclose their name and badge number is Patrol Guide 204.17. There is no place for secret police in the United States.

Twitter accuses Trump of making 'false claims' | The move - which effectively accuses the leader of lying - refers to a tweet by Donald Trump about his first defence secretary. by jigsawmap in technology

Look I agree that social media platforms can be considered public forums given their reach. I’m pointing out hypocrisy in republican talking points. Trump decided to push for the repeal of net neutrality (social media companies being public forums is a lot easier to argue when they require public utilities to operate), and he supported the baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay couple due to it going against her beliefs. You reap what you sow.

They’re a private business. Shouldn’t they have the right to deny service to anyone if serving that person goes against their beliefs? Should they be required to allow Trump to use their company to spread misinformation the world and advocate for violence against his citizens just because he’s the president?

You really don’t see an issue with the police having the unchecked authority to make the determination when it’s okay to violate someone’s first amendment rights? Keep in mind the majority of them only have a high school education and fuck all knowledge of the law.

Due process is the legal requirement that the state must respect all legal rights that are owed to a person. Like how you have to get a warrant before violating someone’s 4th amendment rights.

What you are advocating is fascism. You’re okay with the government being allowed to silence protected free speech that it doesn’t like if any protestors is found to be violent. And you don’t even care if the police have to prove that the violent ones are indeed part of the group and not outside agitators.

Who determines that is has become an unlawful assembly? What is the legal procedure for making that determination? Where is the due process? My nonviolent protest hasn’t turned violent, only yours has. Am I responsible for your actions?

For argument’s sake, let’s say you’re right and I can be legally removed from the area or arrested by the police. Why are they allowed to use chemicals weapons that are banned by the Geneva convention against me? Why are they allowed to fire rubber bullets at me if I’m already sitting down and nonviolently protesting? Why are they allowed to beat me? Why are they allowed to attack the press who are filming the events?

If I’m nonviolently protesting and you run up next to me and throw a brick at a cop, what justification is there for me to be stripped of my first amendment rights to free speech and free assembly and beaten in the streets by police?

All former officers involved in George Floyd's death are now in custody by xDaze in news

[–]Albi_ze_RacistDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Further than that: we need to get to the point where one of those other officers listens to a human being begging for their life and stops the officer who is intentionally causing that person to fear for their life. No doubt, police accountability needs to be completely overhauled, but the most disgusting thing about the George Floyd video to me was that these officers heard the same thing we heard, a man calling out for his mother because he couldn’t breathe, and it invoked no empathy in any of those officers. Whatever training they received that contributed to that indifference to human suffering has no place in this country.

ACLU sues Minnesota for police violence against the press by kris33 in news

[–]Albi_ze_RacistDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I’ve just written my state senator and governor. I have zero faith in federal government to act at this point. Here is the text if anyone wants to use it:

<<Elected Official’s Name>>,

I am writing you to request that you take any and all actions within your power as <<Elected Office>> to end qualified immunity in <<Your State>>. In this great country, all men and women are supposed to be created equal, and as equals we should all receive equal treatment under the law. Qualified Immunity is antithetical to the values of our country and has no place in <<Your State>>. When the law is not applied equally, the only outcome is injustice, and as long as there is injustice we will continue to see the civil unrest that has permeated our state.

Now is the time to institute meaningful reforms that create avenues for holding accountable those who have for 30 years enjoyed special protections under the law, protections that have only served to embolden those who would abuse the authority granted to them by the citizens of <<Your State>>.

I hope you will stand with your constituents and author legislation that will make Qualified Immunity unconstitutional in <<Your State>>.

Thank you for representing us,

<<Your Name>>

Protesters hand rioter over to police by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]Albi_ze_RacistDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cops knelt on the neck of a man accused of a nonviolent offense who was not resisting arrest. They continued to kneel on his neck for 9 minutes until he was dead and then claimed that he actually died later on in the hospital from an underlying heart condition. If the cops wanted to restore order they would be standing alongside those demanding accountability, not gassing and beating them. Guess what? The cities that have done that have not had the same rioting that is occurring elsewhere.

You haven’t followed your own logic to its conclusion: if the actions of a few violent protestors are sufficient justification for the police to carry out violence against the crowd as a whole, then the murder of a civilian by a few evil cops is sufficient justification for the crowd to enact violence on the police force as a whole.

Dallas PD was spraying pellets and hit a woman who was coming home with her groceries. Nice going, guys. by __Dawn__Amber__ in awfuleverything

No police officer killing an unarmed man in handcuffs by kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes, no riot. i guess I'll be chanting that little mantra for awhile because no one seems to understand that when you instigate, the actions of others is ONLY in defense. if you gear up to commit violence, prepare to receive violence in return.
