Today in cops gone feral

I do know that is what you meant, but the point was worth making and you did open the rhetorical door for me to make it that way.

The thing is, they aren't all using lethal force as a first resort. The ones that do need to be told it's time time to find a new profession.

 

As noted, riot gas deployed.

And, now a Dollar Tree is being looted.

The officer has been identified, 25- year veteran. Strib has it.

 

Fair point

 

Live TV is fun.

A quick scan of Minneapolis's local TV outlets seems to show that they are not streaming live, unlike a year ago during the Floyd protests. I don't disagree with that decision, but I'd be interested to know what was behind it.

 

Different scale, I’ll hold back on what else I was going to post

I've never heard of this company before today

Some of the company’s policies, including the use-of-force policy challenged by Jackson’s family, depart in significant ways from recommendations by mainstream policing organizations. The National Consensus Policy on Use of Force, a collaboration between 11 major law enforcement groups, requires cops to try deescalation techniques before using force if possible. Lexipol discourages police departments from requiring them. Lexipol’s policy allows officers to shoot at moving vehicles in some circumstances, a practice that the Police Executive Research Forum recommends against because it may injure or kill civilians and officers.
