[Thermodolia]

Again it must be really nice to be rich

After Philly cops heard gunshots, they fired at the wrong car, into a crowd (where the shooters were not), and killed an 8 year old girl

The teenage boys who fired the shots and killed nobody are being charged with murder

The cops have now been charged with manslaughter, prosecutors promise to withdraw the murder charges against the teenagers

Nice

Officers followed procedure but activists still want some form of justice, thoughts?

The following may probably be why:

Kerwin Pittman, a social justice activist with watchdog group Emancipate NC, said Turcios spoke limited English. That, combined with being knocked unconscious in the crash, made it difficult for him to understand police officers' demands, Pittman asserted.

"The reality is that because this man had been in a very serious car accident and was very likely disoriented. The question is whether or not any of that was taken into consideration by the officers on the scene as they interacted with him," said Dawn Blagrove, executive director of Emancipate NC.

I've found it's 1000 percent easier to pay someone else to do pretty much anything around the house.

Boy that privilege must be nice.

Lord Finchley tried to mend the Electric Light
Himself. It struck him dead: And serve him right!
It is the business of the wealthy man
To give employment to the artisan.

That, and "followed procedure" isn't an excuse anyway when the procedure is evil.

What I said. Whether you're rich or poor, it's nice to have money.

Even that isn’t too hard. It’s not impossible to wire your own outlets or fans

I’m watching the local news, and they zoomed in on the suspect, and he has a gun

He also literally just woke up. I mean it's not the best action but nothing that really makes what the police did any better.

Like i've actually listened to cops on these issues. Even when i disagree with them on so much they would've agreed that these people were way too cocky and should have SOME deescalation.

Not a suspect. He's not suspected of anything, and his gun ownership was apparently legal. So: Innocent bystander, and familiy member of a suspect.

But apparently he had violent tendencies so it was OK for the police to kill him because #noangel.

Are someone actually making that claim? Because as the article says:

Crump and Storms said Locke has several family members in law enforcement and has no criminal history, and he was in legal possession of a firearm at the time of his death. Locke would not have been required to have a permit to possess the weapon in a private residence.

One of Amir Locke's cousins said Thursday there was nothing violent and hot-tempered about him.

"He was totally the opposite," said 21-year-old Ervin Locke Jr., who recalled the two of them catching up on the phone just last week. "All he did was crack jokes."

He said the man he's affectionately known all their lives by the nickname C-Mo "was no street person. All he was into was music and playing basketball. He stayed to himself."

If someone broke into my house sounding like this and I had a gun you can bet it would be in my hand. Thank whatever gods may be I'm white so I wouldn't get shot dead in my own home.

Minnesota Governor authorizes National Guard to deploy in reaction to George Floyd federal civil rights trial, Amir Locke slaying. Because that worked out so well in May 2020.

It's single digits in the North Star State so the protest tonite was a drive-by of the county courthouse with lots of horn blowing. The cold weather may keep the riff-raff away but those of us who can stand to live here aren't fucking crazy.

Thank God that Gov. Walz has initiated the National Guard. We don’t need any riots anymore

do you like anarchy?, after all the police prevent chaos and create order, you young rebels with nothing in your head think the police are bad and you like criminals who burn cities and kill police because you are not children of police and you don't be afraid that your father won't come back, you only care about you, the police are honest yes, few policemen have no honor, criminals like you distrust the police because it makes their work easier with the support of many rich teenagers who don't know the pain of always waiting for the father to arrive in the morning and receive someone informing him of his death. hypocrites, do they like it when they kill our parents?, there is no difference between those who support and those who kill our parents.

[Reino Brasileiro]

Your like the dead?
