Fucking Cops
RE: Fucking Cops
And off we go!

Quote:NYC cops arrest human rights lawyer waiting outside restaurant while her kids used restroom

Quote:According to the lawsuit, police approached Huq outside of the Ruby Tuesday’s and instructed her to “move along.” She explained to the officers that her husband was escorting their children to the bathroom inside, and that she was waiting for them to return. At that point, “without any legal basis, [one officer] grabbed Ms. Huq, turned her and pushed her against the wall and placed her under arrest.”

Quote:Texas cops shoot mentally ill man armed with pellet gun until ‘he had no face’

Quote: “I’ve been in contact with all six of the officers from that evening through today. They seem to be holding up. No officer goes to work thinking they’re going to kill somebody.”

Yeah....but its better than a donut sale at Krispy Kremes when it does.


And then, judicial theft...

Or involved, apparently. Civil asset forfeiture is a joke - forfeitures are sought far in excess of the severity of the crime (often without a conviction), and are often sought even when the owner is not even alleged to be involved in the alleged criminal activity.

The only way that cop could have fucked up worse was arresting a judge.

Hence the term "judicial theft." As the line in the Godfather goes, 'one man with a briefcase can steal more than 100 men with guns.'

Trying to figure a way to finish that line with a joke about one man with 100 guns in a briefcase.

But the facts of the case is that he is a murderer whose lawyers have found a minor problem with one excluded juror over the death sentence and convinced an appeals judge to throw out the expensive trial over a death penalty sentencing issue that is now a mute point now that the death sentence had been commuted to life by the governor. The man's case does not warrant any sympathy at all.


This drives me crazy. The word is "moot". Please don't use words unless you understand them completely.

Please don't correct people's typos with unwarranted personal attacks. It was obvious the word "moot" was intended and its use would have be in the perfectly correct context. I'm not the best typist and I make lots of typos and I don't always catch everything, but that is not a call to act like I don't "understand" something with the implication that I'm uneducated. That was uncalled for.

This is an older story, but HOLY FUCK!




But there is some good news.

These cops are such pussies these days. One bunch is afraid of a water hose....this bunch of shits was afraid of a pen, wielded by a man in a wheelchair no less.

Quote:Houston police shot to death a double amputee in a wheelchair who they said was trying to stab an officer with a pen.

That is beyond the pale. He had a *felt-tip pen*! Why not just tip the nutcase over? Throw a blanket on him? Something, anything besides shooting him nearly point blank in the skull?

Wonder how long it will take Brakeman to swoop in & tell us how much a threat this mentally disturbed double amputee was?

The 'officers' felt the tip of the pen was a threat to their safety.
