Re: The Yes 4 Minneapolis charter amendment, explained
My guess is Potter will walk. You gotta do something like Chauvin for a cop to be convicted. She'll get away with manslaughter.

Yeah but she’s gonna cry. She’ll totally walk, no accountability once again.

‘The Mayor’s Nightstick’: Loner Cop Tears His Department Apart
This city is finding out the hard way what not to do. It's going to end up costing them a ton of money. Cowboys always do. It's why some of the smart cities are taking proactive measures to stop them from being hired in the first place. In some cases it's not the morals, but the money. Cowboys are expensive. Some cities can't afford the lawsuits.
‘The Mayor’s Nightstick’: Loner Cop Tears His Department Apart
[bold] It was the first mistake noted. i lost track at a dozen. i was only through half the article.In August 2020, after a summer of rage over police violence, 11 of the 15 members of the police department in Westover, West Virginia, turned on one of their own.
In a letter hand-delivered to the mayor, Cranston “Dave” Johnson, and later shared with the media, the cops boldly declared the city was in danger. “The safety and perception of this City, it’s staff, and it’s [sic] Officers for years, has been threatened and tarnished due to the actions of a singular Officer, Lieutenant Aaron Dalton,” it stated.
Dalton, who joined the Westover Police Department in 2013 after being asked to resign from the nearby Fairmont Police Department in the midst of a racial-profiling lawsuit, was accused of horrific acts. Among other things, his fellow cops wrote that Dalton, who is white, routinely violated the civil rights of citizens, threatened to kill other officers, destroyed evidence, and used “racial profanity” to “incite” residents of color.
“His disregard of, or nonexistent respect for the Badge,” the letter stated, “cannot go on any longer without action.”

Texas Board Withdraws Clemency Recommendation for George Floyd - NYT
I love how this article refers to an area depleted for over a century and a half due to segregation by race, as "a historically black neighborhood." :problem:
Any time you see that, just substitute the phrase "segregregated as hell," because typically, they still are, a century and a half later.

Thinking of him, as they do Nelson Mandela, as a perpetual criminal helps conservative whites rationalize dehumanizing him. No, he is not Nelson Mandela. But we all look alike, to them.Mr. Floyd, who had been a longtime resident of Houston’s Third Ward, a historically Black neighborhood, before moving to Minneapolis, initially fought the charges but eventually pleaded guilty in exchange for a 10-month sentence.

It's weird, I am white and I never understood how that made me better than anyone else, I did understand it meant I was privileged, I saw that when I was 10 yrs old.
I also recall it being taught to me that Black people were different and somehow less than, not by my parents but by society. Never made sense.
As for assholes like the cops giving the white power sign, I truly believe they will not allow a future without violence.

Attorney: Family 'flabbergasted' by killing of Amir Locke - WP
Here we go, again.
Nice going, MPD.
No, I am not watching the released bodycam footage/porn for conservative whites.
It's not a new lesson.

Well, Ben Crump is wrong about that. They definitely learned from it, in that they learned how non-accountability for the police works.Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison will join the review of the fatal shooting of a Black man by Minneapolis police, authorities said Friday, shortly after police released body camera footage that showed SWAT team officers entering an apartment and shooting the 22-year-old man, who was wrapped in a blanket and had a gun in his hand.
Amir Locke was killed in the shooting just before 7 a.m. on Wednesday. Police said Locke pointed a loaded gun “in the direction of officers.” An incident report said he had two wounds in the chest and one in the right wrist.
Activists swiftly denounced the killing, noting that Locke wasn’t named in a search warrant.
“The mother in me is furious and sick to my stomach,” said Nekima Levy Armstrong, a prominent civil rights attorney who confronted the city’s mayor and interim police chief late Thursday night after the video’s release. “Amir never had a chance to survive that encounter with police.”
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump said during a Friday morning news conference that Locke’s family was “just flabbergasted at the fact that Amir was killed in this way” and disgusted at how the SWAT team raid was conducted.
“They didn’t even give him a chance,” Crump said. He said it was shocking that Minneapolis police had not learned from the killing of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky.
It's not a new lesson.

Judge sentences cop who killed Daunte Wright to 2 years - AP
If she even serves a year for slaughtering this man, I will be very, very surprised.The former suburban Minneapolis police officer who said she confused her handgun for her Taser when she fatally shot Daunte Wright was sentenced Friday to two years in prison, a penalty below state guidelines after the judge found mitigating factors warranted a lesser sentence.
Kim Potter was convicted in December of first- and second-degree manslaughter in the April 11 killing of Wright, a 20-year-old Black motorist. She was sentenced only on the more serious charge in accordance with state law.
For someone with no criminal history, such as Potter, the state guidelines on that charge range from slightly more than six years to about 8 1/2 years in prison, with the presumptive sentence being just over seven years.
Now watch as all the board cons crying about “court of public opinion” and how unfair the world is to killer cops recite how many C’s Daunte Wright got on his report card.

Crocodile tears from the damn judge, demanding empathy for a killer cop, as she quotes MLK I mean Obama or whatever about standing in someone else's shoes.

Judge Regina Chu began to cry while sentencing Kim Potter, saying that the ex-cop deserved empathy. The judge also evoked the words of former President Barack Obama about empathy. “Officer Kimberly Potter was trying to do the right thing,’ Chu said. #DuanteWright

I’ve got sympathy for Kim Potter. I think as soon as she saw what she had done, she had terrible regret. She didn’t mean to do it. She didn’t have that dead look in her eyes like Derek Chauvin did. He murdered in cold blood, and enjoyed it.
Having said that, the sentence is way too lenient. She DID kill someone, and a price must be paid for it. She deserved the max.

When a sentencing judge cries big tears and lets them off easy -- as this judge did, like the judge in the Amber Guyger/Botham Jean case did -- that kind of performance is meant to send a message about what justice supposedly is.

Agreed. “I’m sorry” really isn’t a defense. Justice isn’t about forgiveness. I’m quite sure that, once sober, a drunk driver is sorry they caused an accident that got someone killed. But that doesn’t mean you don’t pay the price.carmenjonze wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 12:29 pm Both of them are just more white cops killing more unarmed Black people and expecting to get away with it.

It’s the old “God forgives me, why can’t you?” Being sorry might get a murderer into heaven, but it doesn’t mean you don’t pay the price here on earth.
The judge should have cried while giving her the maximum sentence.

To conservatives, a year is too much for killing a Black person. They're used to no accountability for it, whatsoever. We're all criminals who have it coming, to them.
