There's overlap, so it's a fair mistake to make. The average sovcit is just a harmless annoying weirdo, but there's also varieties of them that will pull out rifles and shoot anyone who "creates rejoinder without their consent" or whatever.

quote:

“The use of lethal (deadly) force by the Georgia State Patrol was objectively reasonable under the circumstances of this case,” Christian wrote. “No criminal charges will be brought against the Georgia State Patrol Troopers involved in the shooting of Manuel Perez Teran.”

Police said Teran was camped out along with other protesters on the grounds of the planned training center when Georgia State Troopers moved in to remove them. Teran is accused by police of shooting at officers through their tent four times with a 9 mm pistol, injuring an officer.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation alleged Teran had gun residue on their hands. But an autopsy from the DeKalb County Medical Examiner’s Office and another independent autopsy did not detect the presence of gunshot residue.

The independent autopsy also found that Teran had their hands raised in the air when they were fatally shot.

“Manuel’s left and right hands show exit wounds in both palms,” a statement from attorneys representing Teran’s family said at the time. “The autopsy further reveals that Manuel was most probably in a seated position, cross-legged when killed.”

Georgia State Troopers are not required by law to wear body cameras, but nearby Atlanta Police Department body cameras did capture an officer suggesting that another officer had been shot by friendly fire. There was apparently no footage of the shooting itself.

"Objectively reasonable"

We had reason to believe the guy sitting cross-legged with his hands up was actually secretly the X-Men character Wolverine so we couldn't be sure the threat had passed after the first magazine was empty

pretty cool that journalists will still print naked lies from cops even after all evidence proves them wrong with no pushback and just a "on the one hand <reality>, but on the other hand our boys in blue say otherwise. It's complicated!" format.

It's nice to know the exact flavor of cop bullshit they're trying to use since it would be the only account if they had their way, and often is. I dream of the day someone with gently caress you money to spend on lawyers tries to use "cops lie all the drat time in and out of court" as a legal defense against cop testimony being inherently untrustworthy, with a mountain of news stories as evidence.

But yes it would be nice if the format is this was what actually loving happened instead of here's what both sides say, this makes us look objective right

what’s our dipshit mayor have to say about the protection racket?

“Frey said the city needs its officers working more on-duty, rather than off-duty, which he acknowledges will cost more. In other words, pump up their regular pay so they’re less inclined to take the lucrative off-duty work.”

oh
A lot of pds have these sort of bribery situations with off duty cops working in uniform as security, I wonder how many have this straight up protection racket.

Yeah, and what it really matters is that he makes "justice" by executing bad guys on spot, which is what they feel the police should be allowed to do

now check on the municipal level instead, hell just google "police highest paid employees" and you will probably get a dozen local to you towns and cities talking about how their highest paid employees in 2022 were police

I'm well aware of the absurd overtime, pensions, and endowments given to police. My city has a shithead cop mayor who has demanded 15% cuts from every single city agency while giving the cops unlimited overtime to stand around subway stations reading twitter on their phones.
