Is 'being disrespectful of law enforcement' worthy of getting you a death sentence?

[Still-alive]

On the spot too, no due process at all. you get to be shot right there for 'being disrespectful'

by the way if anyone is wondering Renee Goods final words on this earth to law enforcement:

‘Not mad at you’

Yeah respect their authoritai or be shot dead!

The fuck is wrong with America right now?

Someone should arrest him already!

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."

Anne Frank, 83 years ago today.

Have you noticed they've stopped pretending she was violently running over the man who walked away and moved to calling her words to the effect of "uppity", and that she should have known her place?

[Still-alive]

yup all the pretense and phoniness has been stripped away. all it is now is naked barbarity. they hate her and all women like her and just want to murder. there's no other explanation now.

[MisterWack]

They ran out of straws to grasp in terms of reality shifting,
so now they don’t feel the need to mask their true feelings.

Here's something else that has come to light:

"Border Patrol agents have deliberately stepped in the path of cars apparently to justify shooting at the drivers and have fired in frustration at people throwing rocks from the Mexican side of the border, according to an independent review of 67 cases that resulted in 19 deaths.

The report by law enforcement experts criticized the Border Patrol for “lack of diligence” in investigating U. S. agents who had fired their weapons. It also said it was unclear whether the agency “consistently and thoroughly reviews” use-of-deadly-force incidents.

U. S. Customs and Border Protection, which had commissioned the review, has tried to prevent the scathing 21-page report from coming to light."

This is from 2014.

They "reject[ed] the two major recommendations: barring border agents from shooting at vehicles unless its occupants are trying to kill them, and barring agents from shooting people who throw things that can’t cause serious physical injury." at the time.

Annoying the police is not criminal and most definitely not justification for killing another human being.

There was this “are too”, “are not” ignorant type of back and forth with an officer of the law and a peaceful protestor. Which then the officer instead of walking away or backing up or stops engaging, they scream out a “I will arrest you if you keep this up!”

Talking to the cops in a disrespectful tone in an annoyance to them isn’t criminal in any way. If it were a threat or an admission to a crime or whatever then there would be justification, being an annoying kid in an adult’s body ain’t going to do anything to them so they shouldn’t do anything to you.

Know your rights, because you have rights under jurisdiction of United States of America.
Which applies to noncitizens too. Know your rights.

[goaded]

Good advice, except it doesn't help when the authorities don't care about your rights.

[MisterWack]

@goaded Yes entirely true. So tread carefully and lightly, while knowing your rights as a human being.

But wasn't America known for freedom to speech? Like I can say any shit I want and I'm completely safe unless I'm confessing to a crime or threatening someone?

He wanna be Kim now? Wanna make America North Korea? What kind of witch hunting ruling is this.

[TwoDecisions]

No, I'm VERY fortunate not being around a country where those with guns are the judge, jury and the executioner.

Doesn't surprise me it happens in the US, always found it messed up there, so many ways to murder without consequences.

[loveslongnails]

Your profile says you're in the United States?

[loveslongnails]

This is why I'm leaving the USA, because it's not worth dying or going to prison for what the enemy within deserves. It's a combination of that and what, fighting for the oligarchy the USA "used to be" before it became a "fascist oligarchy"? This was kind of easy: dying for billionaires isn't worth it, no matter how benevolent OR malevolent they might be.

[DrPepper12]

Contempt of cop IS a death sentence. They are gods among men! Don't you know that?

[Wiredone]

Apparently these days it is. You can't say shit to the " kings".

[Mike_Hum]

accelerating your car towards law enforcement is worthy of that officer defending himself or herself.

[Still-alive]

That wasn't what happened. we all saw the video. stop lying you stupid sack of dog shit. :)

[loveslongnails]

Except that didn't happen, so stop living in denial. The new angles on the video show him LEANING into the car. That's not a guy who felt threatened. Then it clearly turns away from his lean, he backs off as she's driving away, and he murders her.

Sorry you can't handle the truth, Scump supporter.

[queenofcardio]

No.. wow
