This is just going to happen more and more. This is the cost of justice denied and justice deferred that police have exploited for decades.

When people lose trust in a system, they will take matters into their own hands. It wont be clean or fair. It will be retribution, like what happened here.

The new age of the Wild West. Law and retribution is the hands of whoever makes it up.

Takes it up. Whoever takes it up. Justice in the next life, in this one there is only the law , and all men are equal before the law. Because Colt Firearms made them equal. Hammurabi in his grave is rising. Not to judge who is right, but who is left. So many lives broken by a broken straw of pressure on a sliver of metal pulled by an ignorant finger that should know better than to pull when someone is running away. We can’t sprinkle crack, drop a throwaway, and call it a day. Not now, not ever really, not any more.

We want peace. Piece by piece. Our land slips the dogs again. We say be aware. They say beware. We say be wary. They beg for war.

Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio said in a statement on Friday that he had been briefed on the investigation, adding that he was “sickened by what appears to be an intentional act of violence.”

We’re all sickened by the intentional violence of police murdering whoever the fuck they want.

Weird, there's two acts of violence in the article, but they say it in the singular form... Wonder what that's about.

You cannot commit violence against filthy suspected criminals in their eyes, they are not considered human and have no rights.

when a man loses everything and has nothing left to lose, he loses it.

Suddenly a whole lot of terrorist organizations make a lot more sense. Now that I have a family, including a son, nothing would radicalize me faster than some cop or higher fucking with them. If I lose them, so too do they lose a pacifist civilian.

The prosecutor’s office has contacted faith leaders, asking them to encourage their congregants to “let the process work,” she said.

What, the process where cops kill with disregard and get their actions get rewarded?

The process of sending “immigrants” to CECOT without due process or judicial overview.

Freak accident, weird

Not guilty.

There was a time when I would have thought this was terrible. That time has passed. Its clear the police allow these malfunctioning humans in their ranks and the courts are unwilling to punish them. I know if I was on that jury I couldn't convict that man.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

That should be a standard reaction.
It would mean there are 1000 less fascist pigs per year.

Here, an MSM approved headline:

A killer cop involved in the murder of someone's son, appears to have been involved in a fatal car crash that ended their life that happen to belong to the father of the murdered son. The Hamilton County PD seem content in prosecuting the man whose's vehicle found to have been involved in the crash as a homocide, instead of a tragic accident. The name of the killer cop has not been released in fear of further retaliation by the community.

The owner of the vehicle is accepting legal defend donations at 27054750810.

Chief Theetge said that city police officers responded to a residential cul-de-sac on Thursday, where they found a car that had been reported stolen in northern Kentucky.

One of the four people, identified by the authorities as Ryan Hinton, had a gun in his hand, Chief Theetge said.

the officer called out that Mr. Hinton had a gun.

Mr. Hinton fell to the ground and the responding officers provided first aid, Chief Theetge said.

A firearm was recovered at the scene, the chief added. Another gun was found inside the stolen car, the police said.

And we all know how much we can trust what the police say.

Not until the jury decides to acquit on ethical grounds.

Nullification

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

I see no connection. The fact a leader was made responsible for their poor descisions through an act of god is extremely ironic and I am sure the jury will see that.
