I forced myself to read the sentencing notes from the Christchurch fuckwit and aside from being one of the worst things I've ever read, the judge sentenced him to somewhere north of 4000 years in prison.

That pass sucked. 5 penetrations total tonight. We hit a lot of updrafts and had to do a bunch of speed adjustments to keep things smooth. Not too many big hits though. Some negative G’s as well.

We were seeing 137kts on the surface but we couldn’t find enough to call it a cat V. NHC is going with 130kts officially to keep it a IV.

We do see birds in the eye sometimes. We hit one a few years ago and didn’t know it. It got power washed off by the storm but we had a big dent in the leading edge of the wing that needed fixing.

Following the track do you fly out of Polk County?

Police had the Patriot's owner Robert Kraft getting a blowie ON VIDEO in a sting op and he still all but walked free... I think the trial itself is still up in the air but the video evidence is thrown out due to invasion of privacy and lack of "minimization" by police. It doesn't matter if they have you dead to rights if you're rich.

The better interpretation is that this PD was blatantly disregarding the law and constitutional rights and was only called on it when they charged people with enough money for lawyers to not just plead out.

Oh, and the human trafficking stuff was completely fabricated.

We are based out of Lakeland now. From 1992-2017 we were at MacDill AFB in Tampa, but they kicked us off to make room for some extra tankers that never wound up coming. The old hangar is still empty.

We / our other historical iterations and agencies were at Homestead AFB in Miami before that, but Hurricane Andrew wrecked that.

Lakeland is... very central Florida. They market it as being right between Orlando and Tampa, but I find it’s not convenient to either unless you live in the suburbs and work in Lakeland. The airport director has some crazy plan to make it a giant commercial airport - amazon runs cargo through there now too. They did custom build us a gigantic hangar, and are further expanding it now so we can fit like 14 planes of various sizes inside. The rent wound up being significantly cheaper than the other local competing airports too.

Yeah I’m sorry but the motto of “make it home alive” is practically a mantra. This justifies maximizing the use of force and then saying you feared for your life for anything including a dude walking away from you with empty hands. Those cowards if they were truly so concerned should have gone hands on. No excuse. Zero. Except that he was a scary big black dude not listening to directions. Instant death sentence.

Apparently tazed (I haven’t seen any video of this) and missed? Don’t see any wires and darts.

Police Academy was a mistake and I should have gone straight into the military. We have infinitely more accountability than your average police.
I’m not 100% ACAB. More like 95% but those 5% I’m very disappointed they don’t do more to bring change about and I won’t defend them. They on their own to prove they are needed and not a drain on society.

LivePD or whatever that show was called felt even grosser. Turning people’s worst day ever into a live sports broadcast where you cheer on your favorite officer and a table of experts sitting in the studio analyzing the replays never felt right to me.

Not just cancelled, but cancelled after they destroyed footage of cops killing a guy before it became evidence.


https://www.statesman.com/news/20200619/prosecutors-focus-on-destruction-of-lsquolive-pdrsquo-video

quote:

[District Attorney] Moore and her civil rights unit will continue to investigate the use of force by Williamson County deputies that led to Ambler’s death in March 2019. Details of the death of the 40-year-old father came to light last week when the American-Statesman and KVUE-TV obtained bodycam video from one of the officers involved showing that deputies repeatedly used a Taser as Ambler pleaded that he had congestive heart failure and could not breathe before dying on the ground.

Williamson County Deputies J.J. Johnson and Zach Camden both had “Live PD” crews with them, records show.

The deletion of that footage has been a major source of frustration among investigators after the show’s producers confirmed that their cameras captured the deadly encounter but that the video no longer existed. That has raised questions about how aggressively investigators pursued the video days after Ambler’s death and the circumstances that led to it being erased.

Officials for Big Fish Entertainment, which produced the now-canceled show, and the show’s host have said that they were told by sheriff’s officials in June 2019 that the investigation into Ambler’s death had concluded and that they destroyed the video at that time.

I have a lot of friends on the sex worker side. Frequenting isn't the right word. They feel since sex workers sell their time, as cops they are owed freebies. Consent is optional. And rarely given. It's one of many reasons cops love to have massively inflated trafficking numbers. It gives cover for rape. "We're helping get billions of women safely off the street. Of course some will show gratitude by loving us. And the gun to their head was because they like some kinky roleplay." which also benefits funding. For all of the fundie groups that talk about sex trafficking you'll notice some things. The first is that they equate all human trafficking to sex trafficking. Labor trafficking tends to be more common but it never gets the headlines. And the fundie groups tend to have nothing advocating for treatment of sex trafficking victims beyond using them to get at the people who trafficked them. If the DA needs to charge them with prostitution to get them to plead down, and the victim has to spend a few years in prison and have a criminal record...well then they were whores for getting into it.
