As a Paramedic I work with LE every day. Most are decent, hard-working, regular guys/girls doing a damn hard job with little pay nor respect.
But in every dept there's always a few knuckleheads. Everyone knows who they are. Most are also part of the SRT teams (or NC Highway Patrol
) and they are the guys laughing as they recount a no-knock warrant in a nice neighborhood at 0400 hrs, shooting the family dog, rousting all the females from 10 yo to 50 yo naked from sleep and proning them out, flashbangs into the living room .... cuz the 16 yo high school student allegedly sold a $30 bud at school. These are the same guys that eventually are involved in a clearly bad shoot, fired for assault, etc.
Though some of what the BLM movement is asking for is asinine, imho, I have to say there is definitely an issue with rogue cops. This kind of thing happens all too often. Not just with black people. Been on the receiving end of a cuffed ass-beating myself.

CLARENCE JAMISON, Plaintiff, v. NICK MCCLENDON, In his individual capacity, Defendant.
https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7013933/Jamison-v-McClendon.pdf
· Clarence Jamison wasn’t jaywalking.
· He wasn’t outside playing with a toy gun.
· He didn’t look like a “suspicious person.”
· He wasn’t suspected of “selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.”
· He wasn’t suspected of passing a counterfeit $20 bill.
· He didn’t look like anyone suspected of a crime.
· He wasn’t mentally ill and in need of help.
· He wasn’t assisting an autistic patient who had wandered away from a group home.
· He wasn’t walking home from an after-school job.
· He wasn’t walking back from a restaurant.
· He wasn’t hanging out on a college campus.
· He wasn’t standing outside of his apartment.
· He wasn’t inside his apartment eating ice cream.
· He wasn’t sleeping in his bed.
· He wasn’t sleeping in his car.
· He didn’t make an “improper lane change.”
· He didn’t have a broken tail light.
· He wasn’t driving over the speed limit.
· He wasn’t driving under the speed limit.
· No, Clarence Jamison was a Black man driving a Mercedes convertible.
As he made his way home to South Carolina from a vacation in Arizona, Jamison was pulled over and subjected to one hundred and ten minutes of an armed police officer badgering him, pressuring him, lying to him, and then searching his car top-to-bottom for drugs.
Nothing was found. Jamison isn’t a drug courier. He’s a welder.
Unsatisfied, the officer then brought out a canine to sniff the car. The dog found nothing. So nearly two hours after it started, the officer left Jamison by the side of the road to put his car back together.
Thankfully, Jamison left the stop with his life. Too many others have not.
The Constitution says everyone is entitled to equal protection of the law – even at the hands of law enforcement. Over the decades, however, judges have invented a legal doctrine to protect law enforcement officers from having to face any consequences for wrongdoing. The doctrine is called “qualified immunity.” In real life it operates like absolute immunity.
In a recent qualified immunity case, the Fourth Circuit wrote:
Although we recognize that our police officers are often asked to make split-second decisions, we expect them to do so with respect for the dignity and worth of black lives.
This Court agrees. Tragically, thousands have died at the hands of law enforcement over the years, and the death toll continues to rise. Countless more have suffered from other forms of abuse and misconduct by police.
Qualified immunity has served as a shield for these officers, protecting them from accountability.
This Court is required to apply the law as stated by the Supreme Court. Under that law, the officer who transformed a short traffic stop into an almost two-hour, life-altering ordeal is entitled to qualified immunity. The officer’s motion seeking as much is therefore granted.
But let us not be fooled by legal jargon. Immunity is not exoneration. And the harm in this case to one man sheds light on the harm done to the nation by this manufactured doctrine.
As the Fourth Circuit concluded, “This has to stop.”

Sounds like some shit they would do in San Diego. The stuff that goes on is insane and the fact that the public refuses to see it baffles me. Absolute corruption.
Maybe when one sees it first hand it opens the eyes to the truth.
At long last, Curtis Flowers is free.
The Mississippi man endured nearly 23 years behind bars, six trials, four death sentences and, most recently, months of house arrest for murders he always maintained that he didn’t commit, and for which the evidence of his guilt was weak.
His legal odyssey ended Friday when the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office, which had been reviewing the case since February, submitted a motion to dismiss the indictments against him for the 1996 murders of four people in Winona, Mississippi. Judge Joey Loper then signed an order granting the motion. The move brought the State of Mississippi v. Curtis Flowers to a decisive close.
“Today, I am finally free from the injustice that left me locked in a box for nearly 23 years,” Flowers said in a statement released by his attorneys. “I’ve been asked if I ever thought this day would come. … With a family that never gave up on me and with them by my side, I knew it would.”
Flowers’ case became the focus of national attention two years ago after an investigation by APM Reports’ podcast In the Dark found that his conviction was based on unreliable evidence.
District Attorney Doug Evans had tried Flowers an unprecedented six times for the murders at the Tardy Furniture store, which shattered the rural community of Winona.
Flowers’ first three trials resulted in death sentences that were overturned by the Mississippi Supreme Court. His fourth and fifth trials ended in hung juries. Flowers’ sixth trial, in 2010, sent him back to death row at Parchman prison, where he might have remained had the U.S. Supreme Court not decided to take up his case.
In June 2019, the High Court reversed Flowers’ conviction and death sentence, sending his case back to Montgomery County for a possible seventh trial and touching off a string of legal victories.
The degree of control they want over us is simply that of a standard police state. Do what I say and comply ... because I say so.
