F is for Fascism (Ferguson MO)

Of course, this is the same region where a cop mistook doughnut glaze for meth.

"But after running a check they found he was on probation for marijuana and cocaine charges in 2015. Cashe says a K-9 alerted on his vehicle and an officer's field test was positive for cocaine."

....

"The Oviedo Police Department told the station it plans to reevaluate its field testing procedures. They say their field test kits are 99 percent accurate."

Yeah ok. Your "field test" thought drywall was cocaine. Right.

Note that the lab tested negative for any drugs and it still took another month for him to be released.

This is what counts for justice? Why is this "legal standard" acceptable in our country?
 
Just think of how being held in jail for 90 days could upend your life.
 
It's as if they don't really think ALL lives matter.

"The brain tumor had left Hannah blind in one eye, deaf in one ear and partially paralyzed, so when the guards grabbed each of her arms, it startled her, she said. “I tried to push away,” she said. “I tried to get away.”

The guards slammed Hannah to the ground, her mother said, smashing her face into the floor, which the complaint alleges left her “physically and emotionally” injured."
"Hannah disappeared behind a door, then went to a hospital, and finally to the Shelby County jail. After 24 hours apart, the mother and daughter were reunited in the parking lot of the jail."
 
Just saw the date of that story is July 2nd 2016. It must have popped up on my twitter feed because of the date. I don't remember hearing about that last year.
 
LOL. There are plenty of incidents with a "racial angle" that don't make national news.

The truth is police violence is extremely common.

Oh look, 3 conservatives who approve of our current police state jumped into this thread to make snarky jokes and avoid even mentioning the events posted.
 
TULSA, Okla. -- For the third time in less than a year a jury deadlocked on Friday and forced a mistrial in the murder case of a white former Oklahoma police officer accused of killing his daughter's black boyfriend, astonishing prosecutors and frustrating the boyfriend's family.

Judge Sharon Holmes declared the mistrial after four hours of jury deliberations over the fate of former Tulsa police officer Shannon Kepler. He was accused of fatally shooting 19-year-old Jeremey Lake in August 2014, not long after Lake started dating Kepler's then-18-year-old daughter, Lisa.

....

Kepler told investigators he was acting in self-defense because Lake was armed, but police didn't find a weapon on Lake or at the scene. Lake's aunt said her nephew was reaching out to shake Kepler's hand to introduce himself when Kepler fired.

An early story:
http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/crim...cle_18d43ac8-3feb-5230-bb2d-9af10860562d.html


Police say Jeremey Lake was killed Aug. 5 by Officer Shannon Kepler, who was arrested the following morning.

Lake, 19, was walking with his girlfriend — Kepler’s daughter Lisa — in the 200 block of North Maybelle Avenue when the off-duty officer pulled up in a black SUV and fired multiple shots, police say.

Two of those bullets struck Lake, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The teenager was struck once in the neck, on the right side just above the clavicle, and once in the right side of his chest, according to the report.

...


Kepler, according to testimony given by police investigators during that bond hearing, had inside his home a report detailing a time Lake had been arrested while still a juvenile. On that report, police said, Kepler had hand-written Lake’s address, the home outside where he ultimately died.

I assume there will be more snarky comments from conservatives instead of actually addressing this.
