Police Behaving Badly

[old goat]

SAPD officer pulled out woman's tampon, did vaginal search on side of road, lawsuit claims.

https://www.ksat.com/news/sapd-offic...lawsuit-claims

the obvious problem of doing a cavity search in public aside--what right did they have to search her at all and why her car and why did she consent (other than the obvious fact that she's black and was trying to avoid getting the shit kicked out of her or shot if she refused?

[babybear]

said it before and I’ll say it again. i hate cops.
hope they got some nasty stuff on them after harassing that woman.
I’d like to make a citizens arrest on them for that shit

[Mazderati]

Post four in this very thread was a roadside cavity search of two women. The victims settled with DFW for $185k. The police officer received two years probation and a $1,000 fine. https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Fo...260398061.html

Fuck the police and all the white assholes with the blue tape across their back window

[Flyoverland Captive]

I had to google blue tape; that’s a thing?

[snoqpass]

Is 2” painters tape really a thin blue line when you can get 1” tape?

[TheSilverSurfer]

I see it all the time. I drive a lot for work. 3-4 hours a day is not unusual.

It's always a white male. Usually in a pickup truck, sometimes an SUV. Always look like a racist prick.

[Flyoverland Captive]

^^ huh. Learn something new every day.

I laughed.

These stupid fuckwits really use painters tape to show what assholes they are? What a world.

Sacramento PD take down another cell phone carrying black man. You gotta hand it to these guys--they're quick on the trigger. Wyatt Earp or Wild Bill Hickok wouldn't stand a chance against theme in a showdown.

shocking that any sane human much less trained, armed agents of the state could consider anyone any kind of threat after sitting in that smoke for that long in any condition, much less drugged. on the fucking interstate. totally surrounded. behind a fucking median. fucking insane.

Even though she was brandishing a steak knife, when Decynthia Clements emerged from her SUV and walked toward Elgin, Ill., law enforcement officers, it seemed as if the cops had everything under control. Clements’ truck was immobilized and surrounded by at least seven officers. A K-9 unit was on the scene. The officer in charge even informed the other police officers on the scene to use rubber bullets first, and then a Taser.

Instead, they shot her in the head.
On Friday, Elgin police released more than 30 unedited hours of footage showing the March 12 standoff that ended with the death of a 34-year-old black woman with mental health problems. The bodycam and dashcam footage, reviewed by The Root, shows police officers trying to coerce Clements out of her truck on the shoulder of an Illinois interstate. Police officers can be heard discussing tactics as to how they planned to handle her once she exited the vehicle.

Then, seconds after Clements steps out of her car, three shots ring out, killing her at the scene.

" color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: ElizabethSerif, Georgia, serif;">According to the Elgin Courier-News, the saga began when Elgin police discovered Clements parked on a dead-end street early on the morning of March 12. When police approached Clements’ car, she took off, driving through a stop light and entering Interstate 90, about 40 miles outside of Chicago.

Clements eventually stopped on the center shoulder of the highway after losing two tires, and police used two SUVs to block in her automobile. Authorities asked her to step out of the car, and the audio from the dashcams reveals police officers talking about a steak knife and small screwdriver, which were in the car with Clements.
In the video, Clements at times seems aggressive and incoherent. Officers indicate that they suspect that she is under the influence of cocaine, but the Courier-News reports that cops were informed during the standoff that Clements had been seeing a therapist and had previously revealed suicidal thoughts and hallucinations.
The police spent an hour trying to persuade Clements to exit her vehicle, and she informed them that she would get out after she smoked one more cigarette. In the meantime, officers discussed how they would handle her once she stepped out of the car.

“If she does exit out of the vehicle, we’ll try to order her back,” Lt. Christian Jensen, the man who shot Clements, can be heard explaining in the footage. Jensen, who indicates he is “the boss” at the scene, tells the other officers: “If she does end up brandishing the knife, we’ll go with the 40, OK?” “40” is the police nickname for less-than-lethal rubber bullets.
“And, if it ends up being closer, if she’s coming towards us, we’ll try to tase her then,” Jensen says. “Then we’ll take other options.”
But Clements apparently surprises the lawmen by setting something on fire in her car. As smoke fills the vehicle, Clements can be seen opening the door, gagging for air. Officers yell, “Put the knife down!” as she puts one foot on the ground. She takes one final step and multiple gunshots ring out.

In multiple viewings of the footage, The Root estimates that somewhere between .44 and .66 seconds passed between Clements’ exiting the vehicle and the first shot. She did not take more than two steps.

"Congress just attached the CLOUD Act to the 2,232 page, must-pass omnibus package. It's on page 2,201.


The so-called CLOUD Act would hand police departments in the U.S. and other countries new powers to directly collect data from tech companies instead of requiring them to first get a warrant. It would even let foreign governments wiretap inside the U.S. without having to comply with U.S. Wiretap Act restrictions.


Major tech companies like Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Oath are supporting the bill because it makes their lives easier by relinquishing their responsibility to protect their users’ data from cops. And they’ve been throwing their lobby power behind getting the CLOUD Act attached to the omnibus government spending bill.


Read more about the CLOUD Act from EFF here and here, and the ACLU here and here.


There's certainly MANY other bad things in this omnibus package. But don't lose sight of this one. Passing the CLOUD Act would impact all of our privacy and would have serious implications."

Passed.

Looks like some typical knifefaggotry to me. A knifefag brought a knife to a gun fight.

What's the problem?

and BTW, it all could have been avoided.

[neufox47]

^^ It could have been avoided, if only 1 of the 7 heavily armed police officers weren’t a coward.

We just had a similar one here in Nevada. Guy with a kitchen knife comes out the front door. One cop fire's a tazer. As two other cops empty thier guns into him before he can hit the ground. Disgusting

WATCH: Cops Sexually Assault Innocent Man in Broad Daylight Because They “Smell Weed”

http://thefreethoughtproject.com/wat...-smelled-weed/

“Am I free to go?” Levine asks before the sexual assault. “Not at this point, no” Whitmore tells him.
“Am I under arrest?”
“Yes. you are.”
“For what?”
“You’re under arrest for the odor of marijuana.”
“So now you can get arrested for somebody smelling something? What is that all about?” Levine says.
The officers tell Levine they might bring him back to their station for a strip search.
“If that’s you guys trying to scare me into telling on myself for something I didn’t even do wrong, then it’s not going to work,” he says.
Later in the video, Drew then pulls Levine aside and begins the search.


“If you think this is the worst thing I’m going to do to you right now, you have another think coming my friend,” trooper Drew says as he searches the outside of Levine’s pants, premeditating the public sexual assault.
“Try not to rape me, already,” Levine says, halfway joking, not knowing that this was actually about to happen.
For several minutes, Drew proceeds to savagely poke, prod, and molest this innocent man as he finds nothing.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” screams Levine as the the trooper physically grabs his penis while violently ramming his fingers into the innocent man’s anus.
Drew then yells at Levine to stop squirming as he sexually assaults him — as if it is easy to sit passively by as an armed man who has kidnapped you on the side of the road attempts to sexually assault you in search of a plant.

No way this shit would be happening if Hillary wasn't robbed by the Russians.

You must be absolutely insufferable in meat space.

[wyeaster]

no that's me

[FLS]

Too anti-Trump ?

[old goat]

That shit was happening under Obama and it will keep happening if Bernie gets elected president. It will keep happening until DA's start indicting these assholes, juries start convicting them, and the public refuses to pay the judgements but insists that the guilty cops pay.

Bernie can get fucked. Just Sayin.

Criminals caught on film and the boot steps down harder.

Another step closer to a complete police state, thanks to SCOTUS.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.3af287383aab

"The court ruled Monday in favor of an Arizona police officer who shot a woman outside her home in Tucson in May 2010. Officer Andrew Kisela shot Amy Hughes four times after she emerged from her house holding a kitchen knife at her side and did not respond to commands to drop it.

Hughes sued Kisela claiming the officer used excessive force, but the Supreme Court ruled this week that Kisela was entitled to qualified immunity, a legal doctrine that says police are immune from excessive-force lawsuits as long as they don’t violate “clearly established” rights that a “reasonable person would have known,"

Who the fuck even knows what that means?
