Noticed a couple of articles but didn't read them. The headlines didn't sound good.

A friend of mine from high school lives just outside the downtown area there. Says it’s like something out of a movie.
Yeah the kidnapping people in unmarked vans part made me uneasy. Did not want to read.
And I thought Handmaid 's tale was surely far fetched. Silly me.
Regardless of justifications for the events (if there are any..) Makes you wonder what all those militia are doing now - in a state that is known to have many-that some of the feds are literally going after the American people and ignoring state s rights. Two things I thought those folks have been training to protect etc.
Oh that's right - they won't stand up because it's all posturing and what they really want is a government that suppresses 1st amendment rights of those they disagree with. Note I am not saying the left doesn't have its own issues there, but this is literally the governments power being unleashed on American citizens. Should be a very easy thing for those freedom fighters and patriots to disagree with right?
Hah! Those 2a types are not interested in helping ‘lefties’.
They’ll protest about their (gun) rights, but only as it affects them. They’re hardly constitutional scholars, or defenders for that matter.

Basically this...
They’re watching OAN wanking themselves silly over it.

Another illustration of how police overtime is out of control @choiboyx012
"Last year, Lloyd made a base salary of $101,000 but with overtime grossed more than $138,500, according to the city’s salary database. Larbi earned a base salary of $80,300 and $140,500 with overtime; Taylor made $135,000 with overtime on top of a salary of $91,800; and Diaz made $129,900 with overtime and a salary of $87,200. "

Maybe all these bad cops are just overworked?
Tbh those overtime amounts are pretty standard in law enforcement. I make about 15-20k in OT a year (no more due to COVID/budget cuts). Some might be voluntary details, some might be built-in OT depending on the position, court time, and some might be forced OT if there's staff shortage on the next shift. Or often times late arrests/reports. Look at transparentcalifornia.com and look up any police department, or any government job, and you'll find the base salaries and total overtime compensation. Pay attention to the Fire Dept, they pretty much double their salaries on OT alone. Personally I don't have a problem with it. I take more of an issue with top level commanders, assistant chiefs, and chiefs who bounce around from 1 department to the next, in essence double, and triple-dipping their pensions.
And from the looks of it, underpaid

Famously effective defence, "just following orders".
He genuinely thought that was going to work too. You can see the exact moment he realizes he really fecked up. Great conflict de-escalation, threaten to execute someone. The masses sure love that.
I'm scratching my head.

Those are some dumb motherphuckers.
I actually feel bad for the Cops on this one. Their automated plate reading system flagged the vehicle as stolen. It does seem extreme cuffing the entire family but their system needs to be able to distinguish between different states license plates.
It flagged a stolen motorcycle. You don't need training to know they have handled this badly.
The feck? They cuffed children and put them face down on the ground. Feck the cops.
Absolute scum of the earth.
That little girl with the pink hat looks particularly dangerous.
I hope they get a shitload of cash from suing them.

They're trained like that, it's their standard Operating procedure. In the land where anyone can sue anyone you can't blame them if COPs becomes robots and lose any sort of common sense and rational thinking. It's as if they're gonna be in trouble God forbid they forgot to cuff the 12 years old. I remember reading about Airport securities detaining a 5 years old toddler who bears the same name as wanted terrorist.
The whole culture is rotten I'd say.
Nothing like taking your family out for the day and committing grand theft auto.

LAPD respond to a call regarding a suicidal person by showing up, shooting his dog and then shooting eachother.
'friendly fire' is such a nice term
If there's one thing American cops like more than shooting minorities it's shooting people's pets. Cowards, every single one.
No wonder the justice system is so corrupt when they have to rely on these fecking idiots to do the leg work.

What the feck is wrong with these people

Both sets of people. Idiot walks outside with gun drawn, bigger idiots can’t see he is complying with orders & murder him.
One is a random civilian, the other a trained professional, so I'm not sure about "both".
You walk out your place with a weapon drawn, there’s always going to be scenarios like these. That’s massively unfortunate, but that’s the reality. It’s idiotic to put yourself in such a situation.
Why did they move away from the peephole when they knocked on the door? Anyway what a massive tragedy. I can agree that it's massively stupid to open the door with a gun behind your back, but he also probably wanted to make sure who was knocking at the middle of the night.

That may be true, but police must expect some people behaving like idiots without killing them. I can excuse a random joe being an idiot and making mistakes. I can't excuse the police behaving like idiots and killing a fellow crash bandiccot fan.
I don’t disagree, but the idiocy exists on both sides of the equation.
Fair enough.
Imagine following the law and getting shot dead anyway just because, and then you're called an idiot? feck me.
Come on. It’s just not that simple. There are consequences from decisions that are made, there really not many good ones that can materialize when rushing out of one’s place with a gun drawn, cops or no cops outside. The cat was murdered, no doubt, but he didn’t have to be.
