Of course, the people cops interact with and sometimes kill are usually those with anti-social tendencies. Less policing lets the those with anti-social tendencies do what they do; victimize others. But that sort of narrative isn't very lucrative.

It’s been posted on this forum numerous times showing less policing results in more crime/homicide. Are you somehow unaware that criminals exhibit more anti-social behavior than non-criminals?

Do what? I realize that you're unable to formulate a rebuttal to criminals having anti-social behavior, so you do this. So to volley your nonsense . . .

‘No One to Blame But Himself’: South Carolina Judge Doesn’t Mince Words In Decision to Uphold 20-Year Sentence For Ex-Cop Who Fatally Shot Walter Scott

A judge upheld a 20-year prison sentence on Monday for a former South Carolina police officer convicted in the 2015 shooting death of unarmed Walter Scott.

Federal Judge Richard Gergel rejected former officer Michael Slager’s claim that his attorney, Andy Savage, had offered ineffective counsel while he was on trial for shooting Scott five times in the back after a traffic stop.

Newark cops, with reform, didn’t fire a single shot in 2020

Newark Police officers did not fire a single shot during the calendar year 2020, and the city didn’t pay a single dime to settle police brutality cases. That’s never happened, at least in the city’s modern history.

At the same time, crime is dropping, and police recovered almost 500 illegal guns from the street during the year.

“This is significant,” says Aqeela Sherills, head of the Newark Community Street Team, a group of mostly former offenders who work to defuse violence in the city’s most violent wards. “It speaks to how reform has really taken hold in the city.”

Larry Hamm, the godfather of police protests in Newark as head of the People’s Organization for Progress, agreed. “Police brutality is still a problem,” he says. “But it’s fair to say the consent decree has had a real impact.”

The reforms are the results of a federal consent decree, the billy club used by the Department of Justice after a long investigation concluded in 2014 revealed the rot that had infested the department for decades. It found a rogue department that tolerated widespread brutality and racism, with no accountability, and zero training on how to de-escalate confrontations with civilians.

Imposing standards on Police forces them to be professional? I call bullshit. Talking heads say time and time again that such a tactic can't work because of, well, reasons.
 
Joy Reid: Breonna Taylor’s killer is turning her death into ‘personal profit, right wing stardom’
with some other clips following.
The Louisville police officer who fired at Breonna Taylor during the deadly raid on Taylor’s apartment is writing a book, but it won’t be distributed as planned by publishing giant Simon & Schuster. Joy says, “Lord, please grant me a country where killing Black people and those who support our right to survive to old age doesn’t make you a right wing celebrity … Jonathan Mattingly, who apparently will now seek to graduate from being a guy who ended the life of a young Black woman to a vampire who turns her death at his hands, into personal profit and right wing stardom.”

Joy talks about her experience speaking with grieving mothers who have lost their children to police killings: “I've spent a lot of my time as a journalist talking to grieving mothers, who become known in a sort of journalistic shorthand as 'the mother of.’ The mother of Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice … People ask me sometimes if we Black journalists take these stories personally. And the answer is, yeah. We do. Because each of us knows that at any time our husbands, our sons, our daughters could be the next ‘Black Lives Matter’ hashtag.”

Gwen Carr, Eric Garner’s mother, shares her thoughts on the Chauvin verdict, saying she was elated by the news. Carr is also saying to continue to advocate for police reform: “just because we got one guilty verdict, it’s time to rest. It’s no time to rest.”

Joy explains how the prosecution of Derek Chauvin ‘will surely be studied, analyzed, and emulated for decades to come.’

Crediting MN Atty Gnl Keith Ellison for his involvement in the case.

In the first one, that cop called himself a victim and he whined about all the death threats that he got.

Will right-wingers turn him into the same sort of martyr to capitalism that they've turned Sen. Josh Hawley into?
 
A couple of the grand jurors in the Taylor case are pissed.
