OT Black Man In Minnesota Dies After Cop Kneels On His Neck/ Portland Riots

The cop who kneeled on the guys neck, he was trained for that? I was listening to a podcast and they were talking about that was an approved restraint tactic and he could use that as part of his defense.

I guess Floyd tested positive for COVID in April but was an asymptomatic carrier.

 

Good For You.

 

You're so accommodating. Hang in there.

 

LA's mayor and city council will be cutting $250million out of LAPD's budget.

So, they will have less training and shittier cops? That ought to work great!

I will enjoy watching LA destroy itself.

 

How is defunding gonna help anything? Means putting more out of work, less protection on the streets, longer wait times, more violence, more death, less justice.

 

I don't care what they say, you aren't supposed to put your knee on somebody's head. It happens because it works, but that's not SOP, Can't be. In the military we were trained to put a knee into their upper shoulder blade.....it pins them down.

 

If he was trained to do it, even if he deploys it negligently, its a legal escape. They can question when was the last time he received supplemental training.

 

that doesn't seem to make good policy

however, just about every government is facing massive budget shortfalls right now. I'd need to gauge the cuts to LAPD vs the inevitable cuts across the board. There's simply not enough context to that tweet

I just looked it up and the LAPD budget is about 1.9 billion annually. If that 250M was cut all in one budget cycle (year), that would be a 13% cut. However, projected cuts are often over multiple years, so maybe it's smaller than a 13% cut

but again, the critical context is how much is projected to be cut out of LA's overall budget.

 

They are redistributing it to social programs. I guess its 250 mil total, and 150 from LAPD.

He's funneling this money somewhere. It was weird last month Qatar donated $5million to "The Mayors Fund". There's more than meets the eye

 

Wonderful...

Former members of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) weighed in on the fact that looters arrested in New York City are being quickly released under New York’sbail reform law, telling “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday that the new law is “wonderful” for criminals.

Host Steve Doocy noted that the NYPD arrested more than 700 rioters over the past two days, “but they won’t be staying behind bars for long” because most are being released without bail due to the city’s recent bail reform law.

Doocy asked former NYPD detective Dr. Oscar Odom how many of those people arrested “went out and went back to looting and then wound up getting rearrested?”
“Probably 99.99 percent,” Odom said in response.

Under previous New York law, prosecutors would determine whether to make a bail recommendation or agree to have the defendant released on their own recognizance. The case judge would then make a determination. Defense attorneys would typically make arguments that bail would be inappropriate, or should be set at a low amount, which judges would take into consideration.

Under the new law, courts are now prohibited from setting any monetary bail or keeping defendants in custody before trial in almost every type of misdemeanor case, and for a long list of felonies as well. (CONTINUED..)

 

Money well spent!

 

He better pray his left tackle isn't black!

 

All these bail reform prosecuters invading major cities.

 

Depends on what they're defunding with the police. If they're defunding training programs, that's obviously silly. If they're defunding the purchase of military surplus vehicles and weapons, that's addition by subtraction.

 

you see teammates interact. Im sure some don't like each other other.
Think it could go so far as to pull a longest yard moment?
The whole line takes a dive and lets him get pummeled?

thats crazy! I wouldn't blame them though.

 

Was gonna say that as well. Maybe that 150 million comes out of the purchase of tanks and military style gear. That's a good thing. Police shouldn't have that shit.

 

Trump knew little about General Mattis (he knows little about anything) but liked the Mad Dog nickname. He thought wrongly Mattis was like him.
