Folly's getting pretty fucking close to this level.  It's like the only lives that deserve safety are police lives, and it would be totally ok to some people if they killed half the people they ever met in the name of safety exclusively for themselves.

I'm not saying that the police are always right. A lot of what they do is really fucked up.
But there does have to be a line somewhere. And imo, taking a cop's weapon and firing it at them is clearly on the wrong side of that line.
You start shooting at a cop, even if it's just a taser, then you deserve what you get.

Fucking horseshit. Tasering someone, anyone, is not, in fact, grounds for extrajudicial execution. You don't "deserve" to be shot in the back for anything that went on there. Especially not failing to taze someone, when their partner is standing right goddamn besides them and after they tried to assault and taze you. There is zero goddamn grounds, justification, or reason outside of fucking bloodthirst for that man to have been murdered by a pair of cops in that parking lot. If it weren't a cop doing the killing there's even odds (assuming the victim was white, anyway ), they'd be in jail right goddamn now for it.

The main issue here is the alleged racism. BLM* even burned the Wendy's down because of it.
But there's zero reason to suspect that it was motivated by racism.

There's every reason. Cops (and others, for that matter) deal with belligerent drunks (nevermind you'd have to be fucking wrongheaded to think that was what was going on there to begin with) all the goddamn time. Most of the time, and especially when they're white, the drunk ends up going home mildly scuffed up at worst, even if they struggle, even if they yoink a fucking teaser or some shit. Instead this one gets capped in the back after running away, and the primary difference is real goddamn evident.

Par for the course, really? Jacksonville's too far away to like... do anything about it, assuming anything's to be done. Covid stats wise we've never really, like, slowed down much, far as I've noticed. Fuckers under head fucker desantis have tried to portray things otherwise so they can sacrifice everyone they can to mammon, but the crow plague hasn't gave a damn about their murder/suicide economic idolatry.

Expect a lot of the attendees to catch the plague, though

Eh... I don't think most folks really think of the FBI as police, no. Like, they're a law enforcement agency, yes, but they're more domestic intelligence service (Think MI5 or somethin') than beat cop. They tend to deal with more specialized (federal level, i.e. inter-state or what have you) issues than general enforcement. FBI folks are generally referred to as, well, FBI or FBI agents, not police.

Similarly, for all their (especially SWAT's) problems, stuff like investigators or SWAT aren't the primary face and force of the police corruption in the US. Contributory, don't get that wrong for even a second, but they don't catch as much flak or generate as much cause for AA fire. Plus there's some grounds to see their presence and mandate as legitimate. Much of what regular police do... less so, especially given how much they make situations worse.

E:fucking autocorrupt it's too early for your shit

Edit: Odds on either major-party candidate saying this is bad?

Staggeringly low to even talk about it at all. I'd expect the amount of time any of them spend on the campaign trail talking about messed up urls to be exactly zero

... they have those?

In all seriousness, it took me a moment to realize the thing on the right wasn't supposed to be a puppet. My initial thought was, "Why is there a nightmare fuel warning on a picture of a ventriloquist?"

Then I noticed the context, heh.

They've had half a dozen commissions already, they've done the prison reform. The problem is the underlying poverty, not what happens after people go to prison.

I mean, no, if folks are dying in custody there's probably problems with what happens after people go to prison, too. If your clinks are still killing people the prison reform prolly ain't actually done. Poverty might be a larger problem, but that don't somehow invalidate whatever ones the prisons have.
