After shooting Brooks, Rolfe said "I got him" and kicked Brooks, and Brosnan then stood on Brooks' shoulder, Howard said. The officers did not provide medical aid to Brooks for over two minutes after shooting him, Howard said.

Their demeanor after the shooting "did not reflect any fear or danger of Mr. Brooks, but reflected other kinds of emotions," Howard said.

One of Rolfe's gunshots also hit an occupied vehicle nearby in the Wendy's lot, endangering the passengers inside.

enjoy prison. maybe the police officers can get a degree and stop being useless pieces of shit.

where's that resident jarhead to turn up and tell us that, ackshually, kicking people who are bleeding to death is part of the policing code, section 4.17 ...

re: public service

It's such a weird place to dig in at:

"Let me know what public service you've done so that we can be on equal footing. Let me know how many years you gave up of your youth."

Zero veterans I know talked like that until Jay. Tons of civvies have that kind of awkward bootlicking approach to the military, though.

Our youth need to...sacrifice their youth in the military so they can have..."public service" credentials...to be credible/"on equal footing" in a political argument? What kind of proto, dystopian Starship Troopers crap is that.

how many innocent people were killed or displaced by the iraq/afghan wars? for what purpose, again, exactly? it sure as hell had nothing to do with defense of america or the american people. saddam hussein and the taliban didn't do 9/11. that was america's own allies, the saudis and the CIA-funded bin ladens.

very strange form of 'public service'. causing global humanitarian catastrophes and leaving a country in a state of twisted rebar and IED craters.

i'm fine over here helping to disseminate learning and research for the betterment of the humanities, science, and medicine, thank you very much. not a single crying orphan or maimed child involved.

One mention completely overlooked in Jay's reply.

Me: "Leukemias, cancers, and birth defects."
Jay: What public service have you done, so we can be on equal footing?
Jay: No one forced me to join.



He's right in one respect, though. Volunteering at a school probably doesn't put you on "equal footing" with an occupying force that dumps radioactive waste on a village.

I don't even like mentioning my time spent doing that. Feels like I'm fishing for praise. Gross.

As a rule, I'd take anything Hollis says about police rules with a grain of salt. Apparently Brailsford was "within his rights" to customize his service rifle with crass language. Despite it being against department policy. Not to sideline all the vicious killings and maimings elsewhere.

I guess department policy is more like guidelines than rules. American police must be run by pirates. Of the Caribbean.

I'm still not sure about its admissible status legally in terms of a cop being on trial, though I read about a lot of other cases where a judge goes harsh or lenient based on seemingly anything from a person's history to whether or not they like the cut of their jib.

Zeroing in on someone filming a scene from like a block and a half away and waddling up to initiate conflict. GG cops.

weren't you just defending him 4 posts ago?

In August 2015, Rolfe and two other officers opened fire on Jackie Jermaine Harris, who they chased after he was caught driving a stolen truck, the Guardian can reveal after reviewing court documents on the incident.

Harris rammed a police vehicle and officers shot at him several times inside the truck, striking Harris once and collapsing his lung. Harris survived and later pleaded guilty to charges including theft, property damage, fleeing arrest and damaging a police vehicle.

Judge Doris L Downs, during a 2016 court hearing, called the case a “disaster” and said “it’s the wildest case I’ve seen in my 34 years here.”

oh look, he's guilty of doing the exact same shit i accused him of all along. turns out the 'got him!' mentality is not good for policing.

chasing people at all costs, shooting them .. is this guy a policeman or a sheriff in a western?

Rolfe was apparently not disciplined, according to a personnel file released by Atlanta police on Tuesday, which listed the 2015 incident only as a “firearm discharge” but did not say how the department addressed the incident. Rolfe could not be reached for comment.

Harris’s attorney Serena Nunn said police admitted in their report that Harris had been injured during the incident – but not that police shot him.

She said: “Being shot in the back and ultimately having your lung collapse is something more than an injury that was caused during the incident.”

“We do expect officers to uphold the law. I cannot think of a plausible reason as to why they would have omitted that information [about the shooting],” Nunn told the judge.

enjoy prison.

I'll give you a +1 if you rescind your police application. Pig men

Deciding between two piles of shit still means you're picking up shit.

So is Oxferd going to stop taking Rhodes money?

Whats Imperial going to change its name to?
I bet it happens.

Kings? We can't have that.

every college of the university of london (including former imperial) has some sort of unsavoury connection, except perhaps goldsmiths and st. george. royal holloway was established in the name of an imperial queen by a 19th century snake-oil salesman trying to do good deeds (thomas holloway, seller of morphine cures). king's college and university college were thoroughly imperial enterprises -- to say nothing of all that whiffy utilitarianism around bentham/mill. queen mary? lol.

meanwhile oxford has no qualms about taking mega-million donations from ukrainian crooks like blavatnik or the sackler family.

i look forward to trinity college, cambridge, one of the main centres of academic excellence anywhere in the world, dissolving because it was set-up by a 'wife abuser', henry VIII.

@larssen: yes, higher education is a financial racket between investors and vice-chancellors. the administration is overweening. the academics get scraps from the table.

Supreme Court ruled that the president cannot end the DACA program that allows illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to stay and work. I know one Filipina who is covered under the program. She is studying to become a school guidance counselor.

So in the last week the SCOTUS ruled in favor of expanding protections for LGBT people and protected a group of illegal immigrants through the election. Interesting moves from a conservative SCOTUS. Most notably the Chief Justice John Roberts a Republican appointment sided with the liberals each time.

let's play a little game. 'how many comments until the deep state gets mentioned' ...
