Brian Elton I disagree. Same sentence but always with zero chance of parole. Make sure they serve the entirety of the sentence, no good conduct early releases. A cop doesn’t have fun in prison as it is, so serving the entirety of what the jury gives them, one could argue, is more sever than your average citizen’s time (and rightly so).

Abortion and No-fault Divorce also were critical in destroying the Black community. All these things intimidated them into giving up their greatest treasure: good character. Before the Sixties. Most Black households had a father and mother living together with the father working outside the home. After the Sixties were over, this took a turn for the worse as the quality of public education declined among all the other factors.

@Ryan Carlen Why do you feel the need to lie and insert a false narrative? It was not a domestic violence call. When the girlfriend called the police she explicitly stated he did not hit her or use violence. It was a domestic dispute call and the two issues are not anywhere close to the same in terms of Fourth Amendment protections. The courts have stated repeatedly that a report of a domestic dispute does not demonstrate exigent circumstances. The officers did in fact need a warrant for entry given that there were no exigent circumstances indicating a person at the residence had been harmed or was under imminent threat of bodily harm. Officers are not legally allowed to bust down your door and drag you away because you had a loud argument with your spouse. Your claim that the officers would be "at fault" is also false. Law enforcement officers are not "at fault" if they do not investigate and cannot be held liable in such a claim. Lastly, the officers spent a lot of time surreptitiously attempting to gain entry without ever knocking on the door or attempting to contact the resident. If the officers were interested in gaining access to the only occupant to conduct an arrest, they had all the time in the world to call for a warrant.

[@shimmyshimmyko-ko-bop594]

@ROOTSCONTRA You are certainly welcome to your ignorant, misinformed, and irrational opinion. Go read the background of the encounter. Officers knew exactly where the women was and that she was safe. She wasn't in the house. She had already spoken with the officers in person outside before the officers attempted to pick the lock. Furthermore, they knew that she hadn't been the victim of violence or abuse. She even told them that the guy was alone in the house. What part of this is difficult for you to comprehend? Yes, things can escalate quickly when officers choose to break the law. I suppose if you are a color-blind moron then everything appears to be in a "gray zone" of sorts. Like I said, you are welcome to your ignorant, misinformed, and irrational opinion. We can only hope people aren't suffering because of it outside of this website.

The scariest were Hawaiian islands under martial law post Dec.7,1941. We were a 'continuation of government ' cell post nuke bombings. There is no sunset on these laws meaning they are valid today. President Carter insured these special 'writs of mandamus' would be independent of FEMA etc. The trouble is we are aging out.

The problem is that being a cop is a shitty job with shitty pay, so the standards have to be low just to keep bodies on the street. So you end up with very low requirements which means that youre gonna get absolute scum in positions of power. Want better cops offer better pay and raise the standards. Cops where I live have a starting pay of around 9 or 10$ an hour. Compare that with jobs where you can easily be payed more and NOT get shot at. Now exactly what kinda people do you think are gonna be applying for a job as a cop?

[@gwhitty12]

This is kinda of a silly thing, low IQ has nothing to do with how people act. So saying a Downs syndrome person is more likely to be jerks like these cops are. Most serial killers are very above avg IQ with most being genius level. Low IQ has nothing to do with it, it is humans placed in a position of power using that power to act this way because they got away with it for decade. Reason we see a uptake in police crap in last few years is because idiots after 9/11 militarized the police and gave them more power.
