Mentally ill Florida inmate scalded to death by guards, and authorities don’t seem to care

Of course they don't care....he was "mentally ill" and an "inmate."

Good news for citizens, bad news for bad cops: The Bill of Rights isn't entirely dead.

Thank you, First Circuit Court of Appeals

Hey Minimalist did you hear about the one in Salinas the other day? Did you see the video?

I believe the protestor was the 4th person killed by police this year and I'm pretty sure all of them were Hispanic (though that could be a coincidence since mosty everyone there is Hispanic).

[Minimalist]

Yeah - apparently they shoot whatever is handy.

Great example of the American police state in action.

Same state where in 2008 police murdered a 92 year old woman executing a no-knock warrant.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A nighttime car chase in Cleveland that ended on a schoolyard where more than 100 shots were fired at the suspect's vehicle appeared to be over when an officer opened fire again, a prosecutor said in announcing charges against the patrolman and five police supervisors.

Cleveland patrol officer Michael Brelo stood on the hood of the suspect's car and fired at least 15 shots through the windshield — five fatal — at the two unarmed people inside, Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty said Friday.

McGinty cited a U.S. Supreme Court ruling this week that said police can't fire on suspects after a public safety threat has ended. He said the other officers on the scene had stopped firing after the November 2012 chase ended.

"This was now a stop-and-shoot — no longer a chase-and-shoot," McGinty said in announcing two counts of manslaughter against Brelo. "The law does not allow for a stop-and-shoot."

Brelo fired a total of 49 shots.

He stood on the hood of the suspect's car and fired at least 15 shots through the windshield? Sounds like a fucking execution to me, and not manslaughter.
