The nauseating natural next step after "zero tolerance" policy becomes de rigueur.
So much facepalm in there. I can understand - some - schools -may - need a police officer - though we have ghetto schools here as well and they manage without just fine (for a certain measure of "just fine"). A middle school where over a fifth of all students gets handed over to the police? That's just a general failing of all staff. Period.
Until the problem of tissue rejection is conquered, that is. After that it'll be death penalty for everything.

This has been going on since the 90's. It's the same racket as for profit prisons, except some judges got caught getting kickbacks for every kid they send to a juvenile detention facility. Those judges got disbarred, but it's still a thing and it's entirely about making money.

It's also about not getting school administrators sued, which is where the "zero tolerance" policy boondoggle comes from. If administrators aren't allowed to exercise judgement, then they can't be sued, right? Because they can't violate the policy, and the policy says, skipping in the hallway means you get referred to the police! Because if you actually got referred to a school official, somebody in the school system might have to make a judgement call decision, and that just opens the door right back up to those lawsuit things we're trying to not get.

Reddit responds:
This sort of mindless "procedural" behavior has become the punchline to a joke.
That's deplorable, and I hope officers everywhere are independently coming around to that fact.

It's just an accident that a 73-year old reserve deputy fatally shot an unarmed man instead of tasering him, so the department feels the situation doesn't warrant any further scrutiny. Despite the deputy saying, "Oops, I shot him," and the suspect saying "I've been shot", the officers who handcuffed and pinned the fatally wounded suspect said they initially had no idea he was shot. Their response to him complaining about being mortally wounded were "Fuck you", "You shouldn't have fucking ran," and "shut the fuck up."
Oh, and why was a 73 year old carrying a gun and hanging out with police during an arrest?

Yeah, no shit!

Yeah. The RCMP has something a little similar (well, not the hunting for sport) but it requires training and they're not allowed to carry guns.

Something something scifi movie reality show hunting the poor for sport something something.
Letting someone ride along, eh, I don't necessarily say it's wrong - a kid through Make a Wish Foundation, a sucker with too much money, I guess. Letting them DO anything, much less CARRY A GUN? I can't facepalm hard enough.
Ride-Along programs are very wide spread. Most departments will allow ride-along programs with their traffic divisions, but they do warn that things can go sideways in a hurry. I know for local sheriff department you can carry your pistol IF you have a current conceal-carry permit.

It's okay, he was under his bag limit for African-Americans for the season. I mean he's off-duty, with an unregistered gun, rolls up on a bunch of young people walking, starts shooting, blows a girl's brains out in an alley, gets off scot-free.
Fuck the police.

Well, being charged with manslaughter for accidentally slaying an unarmed African-American man in the line of duty can be stressful. Thankfully, the court gave permission for Eric Harris to go on vacation to the Bahamas while awaiting trail. Most people awaiting trial don't get to leave the country. It's awesome being rich and white.

I don't want to be overdramatic and say "this issue has broken me", but I don't have the stomach or whatever to update this thread with each story. I dunno. It's something about how like. I really thought it was bad, but realizing and seeing it's worse than I thought? Each successive story and hashtagged name is worse.
I Don't Get it. Why destroy the phone? Will she get compensated? Can she take this video to the station? Would it matter?

Because you're stupid and you have authoritah that is not being respected.
I know what you mean. I feel like I see a new story at least every other day.
There's a thought process in Government lately that says if nobody knows that you did something wrong, then you must not have done anything wrong. The impetus is to protect the group you belong to, so eliminating any potentially incriminating evidence = better, right?
I mean, this process is everywhere, really ("Who forgot to flush? It had to be one of you, I know it!"), but lately there's a heightened awareness on trying to catch agencies and employees of various levels of government in the act, and what's happening is that not only is it being discovered that such evidence exists, but that there is additional evidence of the attempted suppression of that evidence, which further hurts their credibility.

Right, but that was an "isolated incident." Back then, everyone knew of course this wasn't something that happened every day. At least, not in America.

This thread is depressing enough, but this is pretty fucked up. Cops strip clothes off female corpse at crime scene, and take pictures of the nude body. Sheriff's department initially denies allegations, then backtracks and claims SOP.

It's been a couple days, so of course, here's another unarmed black man shot in the back by a "scared" cop.

It's been like three years since that happened.
Yes, but the dashcam video that completely contradicts the official story was just leaked.
Charges filed against the Baltimore City officers
Honestly the best I was hoping for was them losing their jobs. Second degree murder seems a bit like actual justice in this case.
