Police shoot, nearly killed 13 year old autistic boy having a mental health crisis. Mother says she explicitly told police he was unarmed. Somehow this gets relayed to police as he was βmaking threats ... with a weapon.βhttps://t.co/FVxNfOsAS0— Radley Balko (@radleybalko) September 8, 2020

Sadly, one of our officers had a bad experience @AceHardware store in Allston today. While in the store, an employee stated, βI smell bacon.β When the officer asked for an apology, he was told thereβd be none. In response, items purchased were returned and a customer lost. pic.twitter.com/ULodBWpiJy— Boston Police Patrolmen's Association (BPPA) (@BostonPatrolmen) September 9, 2020

In a show of some chutzpah, Houston PD fired four officers-who killed 'danger to themself' suspect during a standoff back in April-here on the same day as Gov. Abbott asked citizens to join him in signing a "Back The Blue" pledge and threatened to tack away property annexation powers of cities that defund their police.

I'm genuinely stunned. City council just stood up the mayor and overturned her veto. The defunding of the Seattle Police Department has begun.

5%-ish off the remaining budget for 2020. They can't do more for this year since most of it is spent already, but this lays the groundwork to cut the 2021 budget by 50% as demanded by the community. :)— vpellis (@_yesellis) September 23, 2020

why are no-knock warrants even issued? why is it a legal police practice to bust someone's door down in the middle of the night, anyway? especially when it's in an apartment complex. just because the suspect is most likely to be sleeping? in what circumstance is that preferable to surveilling and then approaching the suspect in the light of day when they come out to their car or something? wouldn't that reduce the likelihood of innocent bystanders being caught in the crossfire?

Kent Gilbert report on last night in Louisville:
Tonight protesters including many Louisville clergy were hemmed in on the grounds of First Unitarian Church. Mayor Fischer had asked churches to remain open for prayer, but LMPD declared the area a riot scene and arrested peaceful protestors both at and on their way to the church. As many as 200 people were essentially trapped at First Unitarian when LMPD instituted curfew 30 minutes early and began arrests and aggressive action in response to a broken window or windows on Fourth Street. I was contacted by clergy on the premises in my role as president of the Kentucky Council of Churches might be able to offer as police closed in on the church courtyard.
Witnesses report that Rep. Attica Scott was arrested steps from the church grounds on the pretense of inciting a riot. We also have reports that police told some clergy and protesters they could leave, but arrested many as soon as they stepped off the church property. If true, this is an egregious abuse of trust and a clear failure to "serve and protect."
In response to requests from clergy present at the scene from many different congregations, I immediately reached out to denominational leaders of churches in the area. I am very grateful for the work of the Unitarian Universalist Association President, Susan Frederick-Gray and for Episcopal Bishop Terry White whose churches were most directly affected.
We all reached out to law enforcement through various channels in an effort to communicate our desire that clergy and peaceful protesters not be confined by armed police, and that they be allowed to return to their vehicles and homes. After some arrests and a tense several hours, the police withdrew, and clergy helped the crowd disperse.
As church leaders who were ASKED TO OPEN OUR SANCTUARIES, the actions of LMPD are particularly disturbing. From clergy witnesses, there is reason to question their tactics of intimidation and confinement. This is a violation of faith community sanctuaries and of citizen trust, both of which should be of sacred concern to law enforcement.
Church leaders will be initiating conversation with the Mayor's office and the Attorney General's office about feelings of entrapment, violations of several first amendment guarantees, and the city's own stated policies for open churches. Feel free to express your own feelings to them on the matter. The more the merrier.
We are all grateful that none were seriously injured tonight, but remind all that until justice, peace and security is as equally available to brown and black citizens as it is to white citizens, we must continue to speak and act. Our faith demands better of us and of those who govern on our behalf.

and they know prosecutors won't actually pursue charges against most so anybody arrested will be released, after hours of being mishandled, crowded into tight spaces, and treated inhumanely. but of course the prosecution isn't the point. the point is they send the message that 'we're in charge, and we can put you in jail for whatever we want, and disrupt your life indefinitely, anytime you protest', in an attempt to suppress future protests.

and they know prosecutors won't actually pursue charges against most so anybody arrested will be released, after hours of being mishandled, crowded into tight spaces, and treated inhumanely.
and when they do that, they're going to end up "catching" several people with unrelated charges, warrants, etc, and keeping them in there, sometimes for weeks before releasing them with no charges, and sometimes for good.

This story regarding the Breonna Taylor grand jury is pretty nuts:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/29/us/breonna-taylor-grand-juror/index.html
Basically, one of the members of the grand jury retained an attorney and filed a motion to have the grand jury transcript/recordings released to the public. That is unprecedented afaik. The implication is that what the KYAG has been stating was presented to the grand jury was not accurate.
