ChevJames00755? That is the apparent minimum for limited access highways, with no maximum, even the statutory “safe and prudent” for Montana. That’s when the police decided their badge numbers all had a 00 prefix and even the “good cops” adopted the Mafia doctrine of omerta, which gets them killed in the line of duty while the “bad cops” get promoted to a safe command job.
“I heard yesterday that in Chicago one black is killed every week by a law enforcement person.”Where on earth did you hear that? No apologies for the egregious killings of unarmed people, but I’m seeing the number for Illinois is 7 black men killed by police in Illinois so far this year, at least several outside of Chicago. The only thing that I can think of, is someone confused police involved shootings with people who actually died. Even then, that number seems suspicious. You don’t need to resort to false statistics to make a strong case against police resorting to unnecessary violence.
Thinking back to when truncheons were used against Irish and others in New York, like in the 1800’s, class warfare waged by the “upper crust”, using the police, is nothing new, here or abroad. It’s our supposed “sophistication” that makes egregious behavior embarrassing today, for cops too.
“Rubbish. It started in the 60s when conservatives decided that kids with long hair were dangerous and had to be put in their place by the police.”Seems to me that the notion that cops should automatically assume the worst about any black person doing something a cop felt he shouldn’t do or being in a place where a cop felt he shouldn’t be, predates the 1960s. It predates the 1860s, too.

Now that video(s) have come out, I’d like to see the official reports of the other police who witnessed the crime.
Will the police who deleted the BK videos be indicted?
