Had to stop reading. I have no words.
Insane. Fucking disgusting.
They didn’t include it in the article, but this fuckin “good squad” was called to the place because “two black men were staying with a white woman.” Thats was the call.
Who the fuck made that call? They obviously knew this type of outcome was likely, because that’s not fucking illegal. No one makes that call without knowing these types of fucking scum would be responding. So where the fuck is that indictment.
This means the Goon Squad already had a reputation as this town’s KKK.
They’re just a publicly funded lynch mob.
I heard an NPR piece on it last week, and that was more than enough for me. When are we going to start holding law enforcement to a higher standard than everyone else? Instead of qualified immunity, we should start saying that an officer found guilty of a crime gets double the punishment of a regular citizen. Yes, that means fewer people will want the job - I'm okay with that.
They should be forced to carry malpractice insurance just like a doctor.
Many cops make up to 300k a year with overtime. They can afford it.
jfc. I hope they go to prison for the maximum. That shit was hard to read.
Unfortunately, I suspect there is no way they agreed to a guilty plea without an offer on the table.
unfortunately, i think you're right. They deserve nothing less than the maximum
