It was McLucas’ 50th arrest so far this year alone, yet somehow there were no other active cases against him. Bragg’s office told the Post they would have requested pre-trial detention, but prosecutors can only request bail on certain misdemeanors if there are other pending cases against the suspect.

This is crazy - the police allowed the criminal to steal multiple cars, drive erratically and put thousands in danger, over a course of three FREAKIN HOURS!! “The reason we have policies is to ensure everyone gets to go home. I know there will be questions about the length of time,” Jennings said. He said that it is unusual to see someone continuing to drive erratically when patrol cars are taken out of the mix. He also added that stop sticks were used multiple times in an attempt to end the chase. “We have to weigh the options and what is the most danger to the public. The last thing I want to do is have an officer behind a vehicle which causes that driving to escalate, and someone gets seriously hurt or killed,” Jennings said. Between Uvalde and Charlotte... hard to know which police department is managed more poorly... by the way, Uvalde Cop Asked to Shoot Gunman Before He Entered the Building — But Didn’t Get a Response https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/uvalde-cop-permission-shoot-gunman-outside-school-no-response-1379258/ A Uvalde police officer requested permission to shoot the armed gunman as he approached Robb Elementary on May 24, but he didn’t receive a response from his supervisor, according to a new damning report from Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center.

Tanooki | 4,930 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Wow just wow...3 hours? That's really bad, but I had no idea that piece of shit who wasted those kids was spotted ahead of time, but an armed officer who asked to take the coward out and was ignored(denied) I can't blame him at least, not fully, for acting... I'm sure he could have and hoped not to get fired over it, but that's a nasty what...if...? to follow. There should not just be firings but criminal and civil charges against departments that fail that hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job by Subway (and good publicity for them the TikTok complaint did catch the attention of Subway of Australia.

The police have made arrests in just 12% of crimes reported last year, according to a Chicago Sun-Times analysis. That’s the lowest level since at least 2001, the first year the data was made publicly available. A former commander says officers who regularly have had days off canceled are avoiding making some arrests because they don’t want to wind up in court during their time off. A beat cop who patrols downtown says prosecutors’ high threshold for approving felony charges has made officers second-guess whether to engage “criminals with guns” — a sentiment the former commander echoes. The beat cop says high-profile attacks on officers such as last August’s shooting in West Englewood that left Ella French dead and her partner Carlos Yanez critically wounded — “make us take a step back and think: Who really cares about us at that point? “As fewer arrests are made, the legitimacy of law enforcement gets questioned in the eyes of the people, the less respect people have for law enforcement because they feel and, quite literally, see that you can get away with almost anything in this city right now and not get caught,” he says. “Refusal to recognize that fact only makes Chicago all the more dangerous.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding police accountable is a must. Anyone who says "defund the police" is either a fool or criminal. The report found that last year Portland had a homicide rate of 13.5 per 100,000 people, roughly double the nationwide rate. The number of homicides in Portland surpassed more populous cities like San Francisco and Boston. The Oregon city had twice as many slayings compared to its larger Pacific Northwest neighbor Seattle. In 2020 Portland decided to cut the police budget by $15 million. We all know how well that worked In another article discussing homicides in Atlanta - which have skyrocketed https://www.ajc.com/news/crime/atlanta-no-3-for-highest-homicide-jump-during-covid-study-finds/HW37L6IMM5BFZLWH7DP6TZJSRI/ After a historically deadly 2020, Atlanta leaders hoped homicides would decrease last year.

Tanooki | 4,930 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 One side of it, I feel sorry for people who ended up being directly or indirectly (friends, coworkers, etc) on the losing end of things with the murders. But on the other it's hard not to get this smug sense of feeling with the I told you so type line of attacks on these idiots who felt the best way to deal with so called national systemic racism because all cops are evil was to cut the budget and put it back into feel good social workers/councilors, and other programs to just somehow make people feel better, talk it out, and just stop acing bad ok? already! Yeah...nope. You demonize the defense barrier and cut its funding horribly, stuff goes way out of control, then you attack the cops again for not doing their job which you made impossible to do. GENIUS! Such amazing reasoning skills and budgeting, however do they do it? As the line up there says, anyone for defund is a fool or one of the crooks.

Charter, which owns Spectrum, was also deemed responsible last month for $337.5 million in compensatory damages for the December 2019 murder of Betty Jo McClain Thomas. Negligence cases like Thomas’ rarely go to trial, and usually settle out of court – and out of the public eye – without the company admitting to wrongdoing. That’s often been true even when consumers were assaulted, tortured, raped or murdered. ...Thomas’ attorneys also contacted Thomas’ credit card company, and found another discrepancy: She paid her bill over the phone, not online. “So, we knew they weren’t telling the truth about that,” Hamilton said of Charter. The online terms of service documents also were copyrighted in 2021, two years after Thomas’ death. Damages in arbitration, Hamilton said, would have been equivalent to Thomas’ final bill, about $200. In its statement, Charter did not directly address the forgery allegations or indicate whether there would be any policy changes related to background checks. Well of course Charter did not address forgery allegations or anything of that nature. Because THEY ARE FULL OF SHITE! Just like many huge multinational companies, they will exploit what they can. Good for Texas to hit this company at it's only weak-spot, $$$. That is, after all, all they care about - murders be damned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,930 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Here's a genius. The setup is simple. Cop is walking down the middle of the street mistakenly on the wrong block looking for a possible burglar. He comes across this car backing out, and well, a non-mental patient when approached would have been calm, said I live here, showed some ID, and that's that. Of course that didn't happen, enjoy, right down the screeching stereotypical cry of the Karen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homicides and police funding are not a 1 to 1 relationship like vehicle speed and pedestrian surviving a vehicle strike. Just saying.... I'll wait for the statically data/study to prove that causation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
