Don't fall for their bullshit, being a "civilian" actually means something.

LEO are *not* members of the military, military personnel are not civilians.

They gave up certain rights when joining the military, making them *not* civilians until discharged.

Cops actually believe they are above all other citizens and have special rights not afforded all other civilians.

They get special rights not afforded to other citizens. Makes it pretty easy for them to believe it.

Sucks for the rest of us though. Sucks for them too, in a way. It has corrupted them.

And a murderer.

Historically, the fact the blacks were "still here" after the civil war ended..and that they started families who are still here, is "evidence" enough to produce anger in racists..

"All in a day's work. Treat it as a well-earned vacation.

"Could've been any of us, right Mike?" Sound of back slapping.

Hannah Arendt got it so right about the banality of evil.

I am so, unbelievably disgusted, saddened, horrified by what is happening that I can't even wrap my head around it. And nothing is being done to stop it. Nothing. No one cares.

I can't help but think this is very deliberate. That the killings, the incarcerations, the fines for petty bullshit, are part of some plan. Whether preconceived or just an offshoot of other plans, it is meant to systematically remove the black man from existence, to make sure that the poor are kept well under thumb and that the corpocracy are well protected.

Sickened by the whole thing

been more like "You better get an attorney" because that video is pretty damning.

are you babbling about? You're making no sense.

including other white males. Relevance?

sludge of bad humanity. We need to stop apologizing for them and put them in jail where they belong.

Goddamn yahoos with skinheads, beer bellies and wrap around glasses fucking people up just because they can.

I watched some as a kid.... did not remember how much shooting and killing was in those shows. We grew up with that crap!!

Is it any wonder our society's police officers are so trigger happy?

culture of racism

big fixes are needed

That they didn't immediately go with the "oops I meant to taser that guy. My bad." defense.

since he WAS tazered and that was recorded by the coroner. But I wouldn't put it past them.

but it worked in Oklahoma last week.

Glad I live way the heck away from most of that. I'll take my spartan life with few frills or travel to be far from that part of society. I've had my bad experiences with cops and regular folk who have a problem with my skin color. In this remote place, I know most everyone and vice versa and we have to get along to survive.

I think I'll just stay put.

It has certainly not been my experience that rural police departments have a culture that's any different from big city departments.

Actually, in a small town of <1500 in Montana. I know all the cops and they know me, some I knew before they became cops. Even the two dirty cops we just ousted were not violent. We don't have much crime here until the tourists arrive... then it's different but I don't have any problem with the community, and tourists have to go way out of their way to find me.

BART police in 2009 with the shooting of Oscar Grant. Another "I thought it was my taser" shit.

and don't believe the story

uggh. Slager laughs. He laughs.

Killing an African-American male is a joke.to these racists.

Sadly for them one of these days a young 'Serpico' will spill the beans on official policy and the methods for the official coverup.

the laughter. I myself have laughed out loud not long after the conclusion of a firefight in which guys I knew and liked had been killed. A full blown adrenaline rush, and the deficit which follows it can't be explained, it has to be experienced; and not everyone reacts the same way.
Slager is a murdering, evidence-planting, dirty cop, and I hope he is found guilty of second degree murder; but not because he laughed.

except that this wasn't combat, and it wasn't a firefight. It was a traffic stop. The officer could have just ticketed, or arrested him later at his house if need be.

My point: The nation is in the grips of blowback from out of control police state.

The memo is from the National Archive, so that's a fact.

The memo is about George Herbert Walker Bush, the guy who would become President one day, so that's a fact.

The memo says Bush told the FBI he was in Dallas on the same day President Kennedy was shot dead, so that's a fact.

The memo says Bush warned the FBI he heard someone say they were going to kill JFK, but Bush waited until JFK was dead to report it, so that's a fact.

What part really bothers you, the facts or that I brought them up?

inappropriate circumstance.

And here's a different memo of what I'm writing about -- the direct 51-year long line of government corruption stemming from that day in Dallas.

FBI de-briefed a "Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency" about the assassination and its impact on the anti- and pro-Castro communities in Miami.



Lots of important conclusions can be drawn from that document, including the extraordinary effort the CIA made to distance its former director and later president, the same guy who was in Dallas a few days earlier, GHW Bush, from the "Mr. George Bush" of the CIA it mentioned. For those so interested, details.

Here's one important way how the corruption at the top affects the cop on the local beat:

The Nasty Blowback From America’s Wars: The Brutalizers and the Brutalized (Ray McGovern)

Let me know if you find anything else inappropriate in what I write, Codeine. I'll let you know if I find anything of interest in your posts.

The warrant for Scott's arrest was, if this report is true, for failure to pay child support.

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/walter-scott-shooting/walter-scott-shooting-warrant-over-child-support-court-records-show-n339151

Slager's shooting Scott means that Scott will never be able to pay the child support. Should Slager pay it?

My point is that shooting a suspect who is fleeing from arrest on a bench warrant for failure to pay child support defeats the purpose of the warrant.

What good is arresting a person for failure to pay child support anyway? What you insure is that the person sitting in jail for failure to pay child support will not earn any money during his time in jail and be even less able to pay the child support.

We need some other method for helping people who are owed child support.

Didn't one or more cops show up and standby while the 'killer cop' planted the taser next to the dead body? They need to be locked up for keeping their mouths shut.

following any altercation..a robbery etc etc etc..he was a witness to his own crime....IMMEDIATELY - not some pie in the sky story...go home relax - not have to answer questions for days..who's shittin' who....this guy committed murder...hateful bigoted sob.....and anyone who supports him.....

that's all he had to do in some places.....
