Look into this cop's eyes, and tell me he has a soul. One criminal cop taken down is no solution to the problem. But it's a start. And a bit of retribution. And I'll take both of those.

When prosecutors get cozy with cops.
From the Chicago Sun-Times comes this report on one of the many ways that the American criminal "justice" system is biased in favor of cops and against people of color: prosecutors can unscrupulously, or unconsciously, manipulate evidence in favor of cops. Prosecutor who detailed Toledo shooting video put on leave because he ‘failed to fully …
Occupying Forces.
I remember when, as a White kid, at least, I used to think cops were the good guys. You could tell them by their uniforms, like the good cowboys wore white hats. And I remember when I was doing fieldwork in a third-world nation, and you couldn't tell the cops from the dictator's military forces. …
2020: The year cops lost my respect.
I've struggled with cop culture for well over a decade. But no more. I have officially given up even trying to respect the profession.

Derek Chauvin Trial Begins.

Chauvin’s trial to begin Monday
I'm completely biased about this one. Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd, right in front of our eyes, with all the reptilian callousness of a true sociopath. Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd in front of the whole world on May 25, 2020 George Floyd's death was far from the beginning of my awareness of …

Your pigs are showing again.
This is classic cop culture: see the Press as your enemy, and hassle them whenever you can. Use your badge and the law against them, whether or not it's justified or necessary. And enlist your local prosecutor, too. From AP News, March 5, 2021: Reporter faces trial in case seen as attack on press rights …
After the Insurrection: Update on Pigs “Under Review”
From The New York Times today, with pullout quotes added. Editorial trolling by The Tumalo Lookout is bracketed and separated, to spare the NYT the indignities of my own cynicism. Note: The title of this Times article is ignorant and misinforming. See my comments following the story. Police Forces Have Long Tried to Weed Out …
