Seriously, though, if the three cops who beat Kelly Thomas to death on video couldn't get convicted I don't have high hopes for this either.

Reminder that the State Law Enforcement Division did charge and get a conviction against Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon for a third degree battery for slapping a dude in handcuffs with an open hand. I posted these in the cop bash thread here http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3701648 Recent South Carolina things: -State Trooper Gubert, shot a dude reaching for licence. Didn't die. Fired, booked, waiting for trial. -Charleston County Sheriff Cannon, slapped a dude in handcuffs. Convicted of third-degree assault and battery. Got diversion on condition of counseling like the usual state standard is for first timers. Hilariously booked into "Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center". -Berkeley CountySheriff H. Wayne DeWitt, arrested and booked into Al Cannons county jail. Resigned, State troopers charged him with evading and DUI. Awaiting trial. -Orangeburg, A white police chief who fatally shot an unarmed black man in South Carolina in 2011 was charged with murder, and his lawyer accused prosecutors of taking advantage of national outrage toward police to get the indictment. It ended up in a Mistrial in 2014, but Solicitor General said he is preparing another set of charges and another trial in late-2015.

Necc0 posted:They already did: defense is that the officer was attempting to taser him after a foot chase and the victim managed to steal the taser from him and started running. At this point the officer felt threatened and opened fire Who then dropped the taser beside the body. It's clear in the footage, he drops the taser beside the guy. Dude knew he hosed up when started shooting. Am surprised that he didnt try to go after the cameraman.

happyhippy posted:Who then dropped the taser beside the body. I think the fact that the cameraman was behind a fence was significant, it probably substantially decreased the odds the cops could catch him in a chase on foot, and he probably did the math and realized the only way he was going to get this guy's cell phone would be to shoot him, complicating his situation significantly.

Yeah from what I recall they are pretty quick to lock their officers down when they screw up. Right before I moved they had a deputy get into a DUI wreck on the interstate lost his job and charged before he managed to get hungover.

It's good that the headline points out the races of those involved, let's not pussyfoot around about it. If the victim had been white it would not have happened in the first place.

From Facebook, courtesy of an "intellectual" Republican friend from college:Maureen Mularkey posted:Our wedding date was set. It was time to pick a ring. But where to look for one? How to shop? The two of us were young, broke, and scrappy. It would be some years yet before we could afford to pay retail. Besides, my intended was a combative shopper, born to hondel. He did not believe in fixed prices. There were only asking prices begging to be negotiated. tl;dr a woman engages in the Christian wedding equivalent of a kanji tattoo, uses experience of respecting a Holocaust survivor to hazily suggest that gays (and the weak-kneed religious leaders who won't oppose the LGBT mob) are The Real Bigots. Emphasis mine, although I was tempted to highlight every instance of thesaurus-loving in the article. Between the vocabulary dick-waving and the Hebrew fetishization, there's something for everyone to "enjoy."

I feel like there's a rich joke area in how she went out of her way to unnecessarily include the word "dikes," even though I'm sure it's just the result of thesaurus-humping. NPR this morning (sidenote: a continual  at anyone retarded enough to think NPR is left-biased or that the media in general is liberal) had on a GOP strategist from DC talking about issues for primaries. His quote was, "Will we be allowed individual liberty, or will we need to worry about the government targeting small businesses for shutdown like we saw last week in Indiana?" It's amazing how hosed up your thought process has to be if you thought the government "targeted" a pizza place run by bigots who loudly and triumphantly announced "we think some people are worth less than others and we want everybody to know that," followed rightfully by normal consumers saying "hey that's really weird, let's not get food from these fuckos."

Previously I had only seen the word anodyne in Dragon's Dogma, where it's a move used by spellcasters. So yay? What's hilarious is that whoever wrote that probably thinks that's what smart people sound like. "Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use." -Hemingway, who by all rights should be a conservative darling due to his rampant misogyny and love of guns.

I'm guessing the RW narrative is going to be "there, are you happy now?" with the officers prosecution held up as something people should be grateful for, rather than...y'know the normal kind of thing that happens when someone is murdered.

Please let this become a social movement that actually gets somewhere. I want to help. I have no other words for the outrageous crime I just witnessed. What the ever-loving gently caress.

I never even considered the idea of saying "he stole my taser" as justification for a shooting. That's pretty convenient. It's like you're walking around with completely above board tax payer funded evidence to plant right there on your belt. joeburz posted:Reminder that if there wasn't video evidence of this incident, the police officer's tale would be taken at face value. Yep. As far as I'm concerned the body camera debate is over. We need them on every officer and we need stiff penalties for incidents where they're magically turned off or not worn. Edit: However I still think the better solution is citizens recording every interaction with the police they see along with memorization of the phrase "It's rendering directly to youtube". It's not even like we need to catch every one of these shootings for it to be effective. Just the more you do catch the more an officer has to think twice before doing something lovely. Just don't end up like the dude filming Eric Garner....hand your phone to a less shady friend I guess. Intel&Sebastian fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Apr 8, 2015 |

Of course, all the other officers who saw him drop the taser, didn't report that the report falsely stated CPR was given, etc., are apparently getting away with murder. Should all be charged with conspiracy and with filing false police reports.

I think only the mega racists are going there. I think your average conservative will be using this as an example of how the system works and is fine, ignoring that the cop totally would have gotten away with it without the video and the local media was ready to believe the police story without any real skepticism.
