10 year old boy charged with aggravated assault...
3 months after the fact...
for hitting another kid in the face...
with a ball...
while playing dodge ball at school.

AND... the parents of the other kid KNEW he had a condition that made it easy for him to get head injuries, but still let the kid play games like dodge ball.

I just heard about this and posted another link in the Insane Social Justice thread over in Gen Pol. Couldn't believe it when I heard it on the news this morning.

'You're gonna kill me!': Dallas police body cam footage reveals the final minutes of Tony Timpa's life



Lot of examples of these officers claiming something that ended up being false when evidence started to come out.

Cause of death was cardiac arrest from cocaine and anxiety from being restrained. Same thing happened to a guy in Indy a few years ago.

Just a couple of thoughts. First, maybe the cop should have shut the siren off. Second, tasered the old woman ? Really ? Didn’t appear she was that big a threat. Maybe he ought to take some ground fighting classes. Surprised he didn’t call for back up and get 10 of his buddies to come and help him.

Perhaps a little discretionary judgement would have diffused the situation. Granted the old biddy was out of line BUT - is refusal to sign ticket a jailable offense ?

In some places just a ticket is enough reason to bring you to the station to post bond. Was this way in Illinois and Wisconsin, not sure about Indiana. The real jailable offense came when he told her she was under arrest and she did not do as ordered, resisting arrest. And then when she fled the scene, that is a felony in most places. As far as tasering her, he already tried hands on and she was resisting with force. Should he have beat the **** out of her? Dislocate a shoulder? Tasing is by far the easiest on the person that does not comply.

The only thing that would have been better if he broke the window, or she would have been screaming "I do not consent!"

The details say broken tail light, but it sounds more like an expired plate from the conversation (how did he know the duration of time?).

As a person whose OCD flares up when seeing an expired plate, watching this is satisfying.

A Cambridge student fell to her death after forcing a plane door open above Madagascar, police say


At first, I was thinking. .
She's not too smart.
Or, silly young adult that needs mommy to raise her.

But, reading comments, one pointed out that malarial drugs can have symptoms that would cause this.
So, now I wonder if she was having a bad reaction to the medicine.

8th Cir.: Handcuffing a 7-year-old who had disrupted his second-grade class after he was teased and then cried rather than go to the principal's office was not excessive force. Also, leaving him in cuffs in the principal's office was "a reasonable course of action."

As the husband of a teacher, I only wish this was more common. Kids are *******s in class because they know there's no punishment.

I have a teacher that works for me in the summer. She works inner city, poor school. The stories she tells, that she is not allowed to tell, are disturbing. Police are not notified of guns brought to school, knives etc. Her purse was taken during parent teacher conferences and it was the father of one of her students. The only time an 'incident' was reported was when one of the 'children' brought in their parents drugs and a few were consuming them and had to go to the hospital. And, the best (worst) part, she teaches 2nd grade.

Apparently you have never broken up a chick fight. Did you know some of them sharpen their nails.

Poor kid.
He's obviously been victimized. They need to go after the suspects he was shooting at.

Does not like white people in his hood?
In the darker hoods the white people are usually protected, by the thugs, because they are only there to buy drugs.
AND, nobody wants to interrupt the cash flow from the burbs........

Even one of Trump’s favorite foods has a hidden Russia connection

My outsider's opinion is that Tasering her was probably the best way to get her to comply without actually hurting her. Had that struggle continued, I can see potential for injury on her part. The second Tasering got her attention.

FTA: “Mikoyan shared Trump’s opinion of fast food. He was a great admirer,”

Umm, in 1937, I don't think Trump was on anybody's radar...

The only reason they didn’t get struck by all the flying lead was due to their white privilege.
