Protecting And Serving: Cop (mis)behavior and consequences general discussion

[Abhorsen]

So I note that there's a lot of these that show up in the Five minutes of hate news thread, so I figured I'd make a thread that could focus on cops, specifically in regard to abuses of power.

Obviously, the situation in Uvalde is a big example, but there are other big and small examples nearly constantly. I figured I'd open with one to discuss: the Breonna Taylor killing just resulted in indictments. Obviously, these are only coming because it's politically expedient for the DOJ under Biden to be seen as doing something, but I think they (or at least some of them) have merit despite being politically motivated.

Four Cops Implicated in Breonna Taylor's Death Now Face Federal Charges

The U.S. Department of Justice today announced federal charges against four current or former police officers who were involved in the drug raid that

Is there enough to convict? I don't know. But enough to indict and do more searching? Certainly.

It doesn't matter what the facts are anymore. Since it's a politically motivated hit, it will be driven by politics and not justice.

Which is why we don't have elected judges and and juries. So no, Justice will be a large part of what happens.

Same way they did when their founder was around blackmail and threats of violence.

They organize/stage crimes. They convince impressionable people to commit them, and then arrest the people for those crimes. Crimes that wouldn't have happened without their meddling. All so they can say to congress, "look at these criminals we caught. You need us!" And then congress gives them more money.

Or they steal credit from local law enforcement that's a classic

The FBI, ATF and NSA all need to be abolished I am sure there are some other agencies that need to fuck off but those are the three biggest threats to the citizenry.

the ATFs basic mission statement is a violation of the consitution, they never should have been created in the first place.
