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.
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. :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
