    More shit out of the Lousville Kentucky PD (the ones who murdered Breonna Taylor). They apparently wiped hundreds of thousands of records in a case of at least 3 of their officers sexually abusing children.

    Seriously, at this point, the appropriate response to this police department is to roll up to their station with a wrecking ball and start swinging. Then roll in a salt truck behind it. This organization cannot be reformed. It must be destroyed utterly, then the possibility of replacement can be discussed.

    Further news in the Ahmaud Arbery case. The murders apparently contacted the local DA after the shooting to try to get him to interfere with the investigation.

    And news on another police murder in Florida, cloaked for 2 years as "excited delirium".

    Holy shit.

    This is what Trump has inspired.

    "New filings claim there was a Plan B the militiamen had drawn up, that involved a takeover of the Michigan capitol building by 200 combatants who would stage a week-long series of televised executions of public officials."

    ...

    "And, according to government documents now on file in lower Michigan court, there was also a Plan C -- burning down the state house, leaving no survivors."
    Y'all Qaeda is alive and thriving, and I hope the sherriff who defended their actions saying, "MaYbe TheY Just waNTed to aRreST heR" falls into a beehive.

    Right ring extremism is a clear and present threat not to just normal people, but to the operations of state and the federal government.

    Let's be realistic a bit - just because someone crazy plans it, it does not mean it is realistic at all. Someone somewhere across the world regularly gets arrested because of similar ideas, does not mean this had a lot of chance to happen. No one would allow a week of executions to proceed unimpeded.

    And in the close to zero chance it would have happened it is naive to think that there would not be consequences for the far righters afterwards.
    P.S.
    Not entirely sure this goes together with the topic of this thread.

    The Department of Justice has failed to use its full powers to address police misconduct and restore confidence in policing, according to a new report by the Office of the Inspector General, the DOJ’s internal watchdog.

    The report identifies public confidence in law enforcement and the protection of civil liberties as two of the most pressing challenges facing the DOJ, the only federal agency with the power to force reform in local police departments. The problem is particularly acute in light of the wave of protests this year following the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, Inspector General Michael Horowitz found.

    “The need for action to effect actual change is even more urgent,” the report said.

    In 2015, under the Obama administration, the DOJ used a wide variety of tools to improve American policing, including technical assistance and partnerships between federal and local agencies, improved data collection on use of force and most controversially, “pattern-or-practice” investigations — broad civil rights inquiries that often led to legally binding reform agreements called consent decrees.

    Since then, the DOJ has “cut back” on the use of those tools, according to the report, the latest installment of an annual publication on management and performance challenges facing the DOJ.

    “We believe that among the most significant challenges facing the Department is responding to the potential erosion of confidence in law enforcement, as evidenced by [a Pew survey on race and policing], as well as embracing its leadership role and using all available tools to address these issues to the fullest extent practicable,” the report said.

    The report also highlighted the DOJ’s controversial prohibition on federal task force officers wearing body cameras and the deployment of federal officers without clear identification to police Black Lives Matter protests after Floyd’s death.

    Cool, so the domestic terrorists that wanted to "arrest" Governor Whitmer and leave her stranded on a disabled boat in the middle of the lake, also wanted to burn down the capitol building.
    Just asked my dad about this and he said that it was a made up boogeyman story like what Hitler did in Germany. He was never like this in the past before Trump. I swear there is some kind of collective paranoid schizophrenia that has gripped people and making them terrified of some secret cabal that is controlling America and/or trying to overthrow America? It's never clear.

    A divorce settlement that would have given most of ex-Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin's assets to his wife was rejected by a judge who cited the possibility of "fraud" for her decision.

    You could see this a mile away when she immediately filed for divorce after he was arrested. This is nothing but a tax scam and to protect assets.

    I don't know her but it doesn't sound that unreasonable to me wanting a divorce from a cold blooded murderer.

    You must then be ignoring all the plots that the FBI intercepted.

    It's not the request for the divorce that's iffy.

    It's the demand that she be granted most of their marital possessions. That would put them beyond the reach of any penalty by the courts for recompense to his victims' families.

    If she's willing to accept the divorce and half of what's left after those lawsuits are done with Chauvin's estate, that's perfectly fine. Hell, even just half the extant estate could be arguable. Not more than 50%, though.

    I mean...you can hold that general view and not think that cops should be killed...you can just think that the garbage cops should be fired and never allowed to hold a law enforcement job ever again.

    The cases which happened. And yes, FBI intercepting stuff before it happens again goes with what I originally said.

    I mean we know they don't but the examples they keep bringing up for these riots doesn't help their cases much.

    It would be refreshing if they hitched their wagon to someone who wasn't in the process of assaulting someone or ignoring instructions.

    Well besides the fact that even criminals have due process and don't deserve to be executed in the street even if they are resisting arrest, there's been tons of examples of trigger happy cops killing innocent people. Then the precincts cover it up or find no wrong doing or just move the cops to another precinct so they can continue their aggressive behavior leading to more violent interactions with innocent people. If you aren't seeing these cases being protested, I think that's on you.
