Liberal 💩hole. They keep voting blue and expect different results.
RIIIIIIGT BECAUSE DOJ IS NOT BIASED.
DOJ found what the DOJ wanted to find.
Why is NBC Censoring the victims and the settlements?
I added nothing to the National Police Funding Data. I didn't list the graphic details.
Just the people, and the amounts in 2022 it's a matter of Public Record.
My point showed that it is unsustainable for the Minneapolis Taxpayers to pay for the Qualified Immunity Violations. It took Garland 2 years to come out and say nothing, I figured it all out in 4 hours.
The Supreme Court developed qualified immunity as part of its interpretation of the Civil Rights Act of1871 (also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act). The portion of that statute now codified in Section 1983 provides a cause of action for “the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws” by any person acting “under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, orusage, of any State or Territory.” As applied to the conduct of police officers, Section 1983 provides alegal remedy for individuals claiming that their constitutional rights, such as the right to be free fromexcessive force under the Fourth Amendment, were violated by state or local police acting pursuant tostate or local law. According to the Supreme Court, Section 1983 is a “vital component … for vindicating cherished constitutional guarantees,” as the law has been viewed much like common law tort claims that deter wrongful actions.
The Supreme Court has set forth a two-part analysis when determining whether an official is entitled to qualified immunity: (1) whether the facts alleged by the plaintiff amount to a constitutional violation, and (2) if so, whether the constitutional right was “clearly established” at the time of the misconduct. (Some circuit courts also include a third prong, which asks whether the conduct was “objectively reasonable” inlight of clearly established law, but the Supreme Court has not expanded its two-part analysis to date.) Both conditions must be met for a suit against the official to proceed. Conversely, if either condition isabsent, then the official is immune from suit. The Supreme Court grants courts the discretion to decide
which prong to first address in light of the circumstances of the facts of the case at hand. Whether a rightis clearly established depends on whether “the contours of a right are sufficiently clear” so that every“reasonable official would have understood that what he is doing violates that right.” When conducting this analysis, courts look to see whether it is “beyond debate” that existing legal precedent establishes the illegality of the conduct.”
Lawsuits to settle allegations of misconduct by more than 7,600 officers from around the country have amounted to more than $3.2 billion over the past decade, reports the Washington Post. The alleged misconduct led to nearly 40,000 payouts to resolve lawsuits and claims of wrongdoing at 25 of the nation’s largest police and sheriff’s departments between 2010 and 2020. More than 1,200 officers in the departments surveyed had been the subject of at least five payments; more than 200 had 10 or more.
whats the real number? these are just the ones that have been caught. do the numbers!
National Police Funding Database, A project of LDF"S Thurgood Marshall Institute.
We identified 217 publicly reported settlements that resulted in policy changes and over $2,340,780,094.00 in monetary compensation to victims.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT TRANSLATES TO IN PAIN?
The feds ought to slam JobCorps for Aiding a bedding and harboring Gang members for years
A city ran by democrats for decades. Democrat mayors and police chiefs.
At this stage of human evolution, I just assume that most people are mentally ill and carrying a gun.
Wait, you mean to tell me that law enforcers are racist? Next you’re going to tell me that they’re corrupt. Pfft! 🙄
I find it hard to believe that people are just starting to realize this. This has been known and taking place for generations now.
Liberals actions towards police Departments by defunding and installing go easy on crime liberal DA's has only led to further violence and deaths especially among the black community.
Police departments need restructuring, better training and better vetting practices. A national data base is required where all police officers personnel files can be accessed by Departments hiring to better track bad officers and have them removed before they become a serious liability.
Police officers should and must be held to a higher standard.
I offered to buy them a few, they declined
No differt than Monroe MI, they grin about not having body cams.
What happened to Floyd was horrible but the police there weren’t the cause I believe it was setup as we all know Floyd was a drug addict and high when that took place I also think it was a deep state move to incite violence
the war is not global but within in itself
Floyd was a druggie and criminal
Why am I not surprised …
Three years after, why do long & what's the point. Are they really worse than any other city?. There's nothing left of the Police Dept that was there in '20 anyway. Feels like they're looking for scapegoats to keep attention away from Federal issues. Very disappointing.
Anything to distract from the Joe Biden bribery case involving foreign Nationals.
Did I miss something or once in Minneapolis they defunded the police so now you got more problems cuz there's less police and the ones that are there are getting and most of them are probably fending for their own lives the law is the law
Pot calling the kettle black. Merrick Garland has helped undermine trust in Law enforcement more than Minn Police.
The DOJ has room to point any fingers or virtue signal anymore. They need to examine their own backyard
A gang of thugs, not peace officers.
Well duh! Policing was created to control slaves and to protect white women from black men. It’s fact, not fiction. People could keep their heads in the sand before cameras were so easily available, but now people can see the brutality just by logging onto social media. Racism is embedded in the fabric of this country. Heck that’s what built this country.
In other news water is wet
It's not far-fetched at all that the police are brutalizing the people that they vowed to protect. The unconvincing part is that the DOJ only cared to say something after we reached a breaking point and the country was nearly burned down, so now they pretend as if they are doing us a favor by making changes that should have been implemented generations ago. Too little, WAY too late.
I remember it happening, was wishing for something to fall on the officers head from about 10 stories. Like a brick or something.
Nothing about the jail Epstein died in
So who slams the DOJ for all the crooked stuff they do. Probably way more corruption than the Minneapolis pd. What a joke these reviews have become, they use to mean something now they are worthless, documents drafted by even worse human beings than the criminal they are supposed to be policing.
The DOJ has zero credibility.
6x more likely to use force against blacks but fail to mention blacks are 6x more likely to harm the police. You get what you deserve. Clean up your culture maybe the world will have a different outlook on you.
It's like blacks have to face the consequences of their actions??
Come on man , this is a democracy!!
Why can't the Police just live up to their own 'Hight Training and Standards' they keep telling us about ? Oh yeah, because they have qualified immunity, can legally lie, and any officer complaints are investigated by who ???? Themselves !!
Used imagine the DOJ pretending like they have any public trust.
Well, ain't that the pot calling the kettle black. ⚖
The DOJ is worse then any cities PD
Very interesting commentary but let's just wait and see what change .
Genuinely asking here….where's all the body cam footage of all these alleged unlawful stops?
What about the riots? Burning buisnesses, homes and BLACK OWNED BUISNESSES that cant be rebuilt? Oh I forgot ANTIFA and BLM are just "ideas" not terrorists.
Garland is below average and the DOJ watched that city burn. Innocent people 😢
85% of the murders and violent crime victims and perpetrators are Blk. Of course there will be a disparity in race in policing.🤷🏽♂️
Black Lives Matter is racist
