Speculater, in Texas man jailed for DWI is beaten to death in custody

Controversial opinion: If they were actually inebriated and driving, they deserved it.

Cops don’t hold that authority (and I’m guessing this was ACAB material), but king for a day, DUIs would carry the death penalty. Fuck drunk drivers. I’m all for full legalization of all drugs, but if your habit puts my life at risk, bye.

Silverseren,

He was charged with "suspicion of DWI" and the timeline to when he was known to be at home washing his car and being arrested was 1 hour.

So, apologies if I don't believe a word the Texas Ranger pigs say about what happened.

Controversial opinion: Anyone in favour of the death penalty should be forced to undergo it before inflicting it on others.

Sorry mate, the comment you’re replying to was already removed by the mod (me). With Lemmy, that means your reply (and my reply to your reply) are invisible to the world. It’s a pity though — loved your retort. :)

Cool and good to know. I’m still figuring out how Lemmy works… when Lemmy works…

Drusas,

So someone who_might_ have been driving under the influence should immediately be killed? You sound like a child.

uranibaba,

Thanks!

MacGuffin94, in Mayor of Kansas town defends police in newspaper raid: "I'm not sure exactly what they did wrong"

This is essentially him saying “well it didn’t hurt to ask” which is shit. These are police they should have to have a reason to ask in the first place.

RiikkaTheIcePrincess, in Florida perp fires five shots at marked police car, but is arrested without bloodshed or brutality… because he's a cop

Ah, de-escalation. So they do know how to not just mag-dump! ... Actually it seems like they just sat there getting shot at doing practically nothing. Amazing restraint they suddenly developed. Maybe they were also drunk and couldn't get their guns out of their holsters.

...Nah, they probably have plenty of experience and/or training to handle that just fine. ACAB.

Melkath,

ACAB.

AnonTwo, in Mayor of Kansas town defends police in newspaper raid: "I'm not sure exactly what they did wrong"

Pretty sure the mayor was in on it from what I recall

WilliamTheWicked, in Mayor of Kansas town defends police in newspaper raid: "I'm not sure exactly what they did wrong"

This is garbage. If his constituents have half a brain in their head, they will vote him out next cycle to give him some time to reflect. Clearly, he’s got too much going on a mayor to ponder things like the constitution.

Treczoks, in Mayor of Kansas town defends police in newspaper raid: "I'm not sure exactly what they did wrong"

The Mayor as a former chief of police does not want to blame the police. While the people who signed a search warrant without seeing any evidence are clearly at fault here, they did not sign those out of thin air - the police or the DA asked the judge to do it, well knowing it had no base.

So there are several people who belong in the slammer for this violation.

AshMan85, in 'Astonishingly cruel': Alabama seeks to test execution method on death row 'guinea pig'

This is a more human way of execution, my only problem with it is, if a state is pro-life then state execution should be illegal.

There is no humane way of execution.

AshMan85,

It’s humane for potential victims

Try again please. I don’t understand.

andrewta, in Muslim woman sues Tennessee sheriff's office after she was told to remove hijab for mugshot

I’m not taking either side here. The question is, what does the law that the legislators wrote say?

If the law states that the head dress must be removed then blame the legislators and change the law if you want it changed.

If the law says it can be left on then the police in question broke the law.

And from what the article says, or at least as I understand the article : the lawsuit claims state law was broken.

It should be interesting to see how this plays in court

reverendsteveii, in Delaware police chase, shoot, and kill suspected shoplifter

Ok but is the property okay? Did anyone check on the stuff? I hope no items got hurt.

BourneHavoc, in Delaware police chase, shoot, and kill suspected shoplifter

Well, the police are there to basically protect the property of wealthy individuals and corporations. They don’t do jack shit for private, middle or lower class individuals except “file a police report” for the stolen belongings. But if you try to walk out of a store with merchandise, you’re fucked, because it’s the wealthy that they are paid to protect.

MaxPow3r11, in Missouri man found a lost dog, and called the police. Cops came, took the dog to a park, shot it, and dumped it in a ditch.

abolish police.

negativeyoda, in Delaware police chase, shoot, and kill suspected shoplifter

I literally thought this was the other story about them killing the pregnant woman. What’s it say about the police and society in general that I’m like, oh, a different one from the same thing that happened last week

kool_newt, in Bodycam shows Ohio cops were in no danger as they killed black pregnant woman for alleged shoplifting

What he doesn’t have is a name or a face — as often happens, the police haven’t been named, and their faces have been blurred in the video.

It doesn’t matter, cops are fungible and all deserve consequences.
