In most circumstances, it shouldn't be a prison sentence either. Some common sense needs to be applied when it comes to stolen stuff. If it's not worth it, let it go. Floyd lost his life over a fake $20 bill. If someone tries to pass you a fake $20 bill, just give it back to him and tell him you don't accept it. It's not that hard. If someone steals a bag of chips and a candy bar, don't call the cops. Maybe try talking the person stealing. Offer to buy it for them. I've actually done that before. I was out $2 and the kid got a bag of chips. No big deal.These officers are horrible humans beings and should be treated as such. From the initial confrontation to all this, they are trash. All over a bottle of detergent of a woman with dementia.
The Lowes by my house, people are always stealing stuff from there. Lowes makes no attempt to stop them once they reach the door. They will call the police, report it and give them the video.
Now i know why. Yes, trash stealing stuff is terrible, but Lowes probably is saving lives by doing that. Stealing shouldn't be a death sentence...
Even worse is that she did try to pay and they still refused. So when the police stopped her on the side of the road, she didn’t even have any stolen property on her. WalMart recovered it before she even left the premises. They dislocated her shoulder and wrestled her to the ground and all of that over $13 worth of stuff she didn’t even leave the premises with then proceeded to talk about her for a great deal of time like some waste of human life. I swear... this has me heated.In most circumstances, it shouldn't be a prison sentence either. Some common sense needs to be applied when it comes to stolen stuff. If it's not worth it, let it go.

Ive said this before on this board. I sold a laptop on LetGo app, Like a dummy i took a $100 bill. I put it in my wallet, it was there for about a month. I was at McD and i decided to break it there. The Manager told me It was fake. (the McD was connected to a gas staion), I took it to the gas station part to see if they had one of those makers, and sure enough it was fake. The manager at McD said its ok, i've seen you in here before. I paid for my food with my card and walked right on out. If they would have called the police on me, I have no doubt i would have went to jail over something that i had ZERO knowledge of, because i guarantee the cops would have not given 2 craps about how i got it..In most circumstances, it shouldn't be a prison sentence either.

Killing a weeks old puppy, regardless of the breed, is inexcusable. You can kick it across the property if it's "vicious" or attacks (highly unlikely for a puppy that young) without killing it. If a citizen shot and killed a puppy that young, they'd likely be charged.Sad.NOPD officer's killing of Apollo the puppy was his second fatal shooting of a dog since 2012
The killing of an 18-week-old puppy by a New Orleans police officer earlier this month marked the second time that officer shot and killed a dog on the job inwww.nola.com
That was disgusting. This is exactly the kind of power trip many of these a holes are on. You can tell that the female officer is somewhat conflicted yet still goes along with the bullshirt. Shame on her.
To be frank, it will take a majority of White Americans to care enough. And it is my solemn, sincere belief that not enough White Americans have been educated about this country's historical legacy of policing, its direct ties to racial animus and generally about race itself. Too many are "trapped in a history they don't understand" and without understanding there can be no empathy and this won't change without an overwhelming sense of empathy.

=============
.......White people, these killings are cruel and urgent reminders that we must sprint, not walk, to dismantle white supremacy. Black lives are an inexcusable price to pay for our unwillingness to act.
If you're a white person who considers yourself anti-racist and you don't think this applies to you—it does. The truth is, too many white people "doing the work" continue to treat the bare minimum of anti-racism work like it's the most.
We treat it like a checklist that we get to pat ourselves on the back for. Post a black square? Check. Read an anti-racism book? Check. Join the diversity committee at your workplace? Check. March in a protest? Check. Stand up to your racist aunt? Check.
But a checklist won't dismantle white supremacy. We need to deeply embed anti-racism into our identity, our purpose and every facet of our life. This work requires our full-throttle empathy and total commitment to dismantling an archaic, dangerous white supremacist system. And if we can't even muster empathy and the energy to do the bare minimum, then we should at least be informed on how white supremacy hurts white people too....
If being actively anti-racist and setting boundaries feels risky to you as a white person, maybe it is. Maybe you risk irreparable rifts in your relationships, repercussions at your job, awkward family gatherings, or being labeled as "so serious all the time." But when Black people's biggest risk is their lives, our low-stakes risks don't get any priority.
Our proximity to white people who may never hear anything about anti-racism elsewhere is where it is most important we speak up. It is our responsibility to be intentional, consistent and loud.........
I don't doubt it, but I wonder what that would actually look like.Among the many stupid things about this holding onto racist systems is that dismantling them would most likely be a net positive for the economy - by a LOT

i don't even know what to say to this
The Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police canceled an event with controversial police trainer Dave Grossman after video resurfaced of him telling a group of cops that killing people can lead to having great sex.
Grossman, director of the "Killology Research Group," made the comment in 2015 as part of a training session filmed for the 2016 police militarization documentary "Do Not Resist."
As part of the training session, Grossman said that cops have "the best sex" after a gun fight where the "bad guy's down."
"Both partners are very invested in some very intense sex," he said in the course. "There's not a whole lot of perks that come with this job. You find one, relax and enjoy it."...........
