Cops put a man in a stress chair and just left him in a freezer to die. Also his cell was just a concrete room with a drain to piss and poo poo in to. If only our boys in blue had more training and money this never would have happened.

I broke at Philando Castille because he was murdered at a spot I must've ridden passed on my bike 1000 times when I was a kid.

I was so loving ashamed, man. Before that I thought the cops were just badly flawed tools.

I can't even imagine. That video is so hard to watch.
One thing I noticed with Philando Castille's murder was the NRA showing their true colors in the deafening silence that followed a legally armed black man being outright murdered by the cops. I saw at least a few people flip from bootlicking "just comply and you'll be fine" to ACAB based on that video. Not enough, but anything that reduces the number of bootlickers in the aftermath of a police shooting gives me a little bit of hope.

The murder of Kelly Thomas was what pushed me from "gently caress these racist police" to "no, ACAB, every last one of them is at least complicit and they will do whatever they want to whoever they feel like doing it to. And they'll get away with it, no matter how heinous and clear cut it is". There is no denying the huge role that systemic racism plays, but it's certainly not the whole picture.

Daniel Shaver. The cops murder white people all the loving time too, they just don't do it for racist reasons. Poor/intentionally wrong training, militarization, police gangs, etc etc all lead to them murdering white people over and over. And then minorities get killed for all of those same reasons, AND because of their race because the cops are loving racist scum.

Mostly agreed. Memo or no, cops are only going to follow directives that they feel like following. It seems that their predilection for abusing the most easily abused just lines up with what works for the system overall most of the time.

I'm not sure why a mentally ill person would be less profitable for the private prison system, but I'll read into it.

Mentally ill prisoners just require more care time and infrastructure to support, which means more labor costs to keep them imprisoned which means less profits. Probably not more complicated than that

They also need care, can be disruptive and violent, and make messes. In a clinical setting, that's usually handled by trained staff and giving them a Haldol/Ativan cocktail until they can get on a regular schedule of meds and therapy to help them get control of their lives.

In a jail setting, you have a bunch of untrained sadists who just hate that there's this person who makes their jobs harder so they treat them with increasing brutality until they die.

Certainly. My thought was just that private prisons certainly aren't going to provide that standard of care, and would probably be content to fill every cell with someone who should be getting psychiatric care instead. Also, since lobbyists for private prisons get them so much leverage, I could easily see them adding a psych upcharge if they aren't already.

Big part of the problem is that people who are severely mentally ill often have a huge set of interlocking issues that need to be carefully teased apart and treated separately to help them regain stability. And for some of them the best we're ever going to get is maybe getting them into a supervised group living situation.

But if a person is coming from an abusive home, is living rough, on drugs, and is severely mentally ill the only apparatus of the state that they're likely to run into is the cops. And instead of getting their situation fixed they just get tossed in the slammer and at best left to rot.

It's almost like instead of investing in safety nets and mental health, the state's solution to everything is to hit it with more police!

man people were shooting roman candles straight at the windshields of cop cars, in the dark, and the cops were running backwards as fast as the car would go, I don't think the cops were deciding what to do based on how white the folks they were retreating from were
e: I guess a more likely explanation is they were just bribed to not intervene :shrug:

pretty much the A1 reason to bring a gun anywhere in public is the likelihood of encountering an unaggressive, unleashed dog. things are a loving plague out here in Colorado. every shithead thinks their precious baby is the exception to the rule, and are "OMG SO SORRY!" when they run at any non-white person on the trail
