Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I swear, each month of 2020 will have its own history degree.

Consistently wrong since 2002

The math demands it!

Nevertheless, she persisted.

Verified, but limited!

It’s the corruption, stupid.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

How has Obama failed you today?

Mission Accomplished!

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

It’s not even safe to go out and pick up 2 days worth of poop anymore.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Historically it is a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Han shot first.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Reality always wins in the end.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

We have all the best words.

The revolution will be supervised.

‘Forty-two’ said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Screw the Judean People’s Front. Splitters.

… down to kool-aid drinkers and next of kin at the trump White House

Every Day the Bucket Goes to the Well

This post is in: Shitty Cops

New York (and New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island) has banned indoor gatherings at private residences of more than 10 people.  This useless shithead with a badge decided he needed to pipe up and comment on that: 

“I have no plans to utilize my office’s resources or deputies to break up the great tradition of Thanksgiving dinner,” Timothy Howard, the sheriff in Erie County in western New York, said in a statement.

“My office will respect the sanctity of your home and traditions, and I encourage you to follow your heart and act responsibly, as well as do what’s best for your family.”

I am so god damned sick and tired of these Republican sheriffs trying to make a name for themselves by opening their ignorant cakeholes and starting in with the “but mah freedums!” talk when a law is passed that they don’t like.  Fuck ’em, individually and collectively.  Can’t they keep their griping and bitching confined to anonymous posts on racist message boards like normal cops?

Erie County, which is Buffalo, has been doing the worst of any large New York county after we got the first wave under control, so someone who didn’t know Sheriff Howard might have thought he could at least keep his dumb opinion to himself. But what do you expect from a sheriff who said that supporters of body cameras were like the doubting Thomases who who didn’t believe that Jesus came back from the dead?

Of all the elective offices in county government that should be abolished, sheriff is at the top of my list. That said, this is not just a problem with sheriffs. Syracuse PD doesn’t seem to like wearing masks and Cuomo spends a good part of pretty much every press conference begging the NYPD to do some enforcement — most of the enforcement in New York City is done by the tiny New York County Sheriff’s Department.

I’ll close with some wise words from Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey:


Reporter: What is your message to the people who apparently are tired of wearing the mask over their nose as well as their mouth, they think its uncomfortable and annoying, and it’s just too much for them to handle, so they’re just not doing it?
Gov Murphy: You know what’s really uncomfortable and annoying? When you die. That’s my answer.

Texas Officer Charged With Murder

Texas Officer Charged With Murder

Updated to add a photo of Jonathan Price.

His name was #JohnathanPrice. In Wolfe City, TX he was known as a hometown hero. Motivational speaker, trainer, professional athlete and community advocate— he was dearly loved by so many.

Yesterday he noticed a man assaulting a woman and he intervened. When police arrived, I’m told, he raised his hands and attempted to explain what was going on. Police fired tasers at him and when his body convulsed from the electrical current, they “perceived a threat” and shot him to death.

Here is a link to support his family is.

I have spoken to the family and have agreed to do whatever it takes to get justice for JP. – Lee Merritt

WOLFE CITY: This statement from the Texas Rangers confirms witness accounts in the death of Jonathan Price.

Excellent (Heartbreaking) Read: “A mentally ill man, a heavily armed teenager and the night Kenosha burned”

by Anne Laurie|  October 4, 20203:53 pm| 8 Comments

A mentally ill man, a heavily armed teenager and the night Kenosha burned https://t.co/RDjU224dhG

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) October 4, 2020

Anti-police-brutality demonstrators were converging on Kenosha from all over Wisconsin for a second night of marches. An armed right-wing group had put out a call for “patriots willing to take up arms and defend [our] City tonight from the evil thugs.”

Joseph Rosenbaum — depressed, homeless and alone — didn’t belong to either side. He had spent most of his adult life in prison for sexual conduct with children when he was 18 and struggled with bipolar disorder. That day, Aug. 25, Rosenbaum was discharged from a Milwaukee hospital following his second suicide attempt in as many months and dumped on the streets of Kenosha.

His confrontation hours later with Kyle Rittenhouse, a heavily armed teenager who had answered the call for “patriots,” kicked off a chain of violence — the deadliest of the summer — that left Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, dead. A third victim, Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, lost a chunk of his right biceps but survived.

Within hours, the three men and the teenager who shot them were assigned roles in the country’s churning partisan drama. On the right, Rosenbaum, Huber and Grosskreutz were cast as antifa foot soldiers, bankrolled by shadowy forces and determined to set fires and spread anarchy. On the left, the three shooting victims, all of them White, were celebrated as anti-racist martyrs battling armed vigilantes who had coalesced to support police departments accused of racism and brutality…

show full post on front page

The real story of the Kenosha shootings offers a different view of the sometimes-chaotic protests and counterprotests that have shaken American cities this summer. The confrontation between Rittenhouse and Rosenbaum, and the bloodshed that followed, was more accidental than political — the product of anger, alienation and a tragic, chance encounter between a mentally ill man and a heavily armed teenager.

This story is based on court documents, videos from the demonstrations and interviews with more than three dozen of the victims’ friends and relatives. Some of them, such as Rosenbaum’s fiancee and Huber’s girlfriend, spoke at length for the first time, providing the most comprehensive account to date of Rosenbaum’s and Huber’s often painful childhoods, past encounters with police and paths to the protests that night.

Each of the three shooting victims was drawn for different reasons to the demonstrations that erupted after the Aug. 23 wounding of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a White police officer. Their lives, forever linked by the bullets from Rittenhouse’s assault-style rifle, had proceeded along different routes, and each carried objects that shed light on their journeys and motivations…

The story doesn’t discuss Kyle Rittenhouse beyond the barest description of the shooting, but he doesn’t seem to have had the most salutatory background, either:

To be clear about this. At event sponsored by the Waukesha GOP in Wisconsin, the mother of the 17-year-old boy who took a rifle across state lines to Kenosha, and shot three people, killing two… Received a standing ovation. Led by one of the right’s most notorious racists.

— Charlie Sykes (@SykesCharlie) September 25, 2020

Lawyers for Kyle Rittenhouse have raised nearly $2 million for his defense by depicting the alleged Kenosha shooter as an American hero. Some legal experts say that rhetoric may draw donors, but it could hurt the teen's chances before a jury. https://t.co/pC7M20ECsO

Excellent Link: “Correcting the misinformation about Breonna Taylor”

by Anne Laurie|  September 26, 20205:22 pm| 43 Comments

This post is in: Criminal Justice, Excellent Links, Shitty Cops

Tonight, I’m thinking of Breonna Taylor’s family who is still grieving the loss of a daughter and sister.

We must never stop speaking Breonna’s name as we work to reform our justice system, including overhauling no-knock warrants.

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) September 24, 2020

Radley Balko, at the Washington Post:

Wednesday’s announcement from Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron about criminal charges in the Breonna Taylor case set off a frenzy of misinformation on social media. Based on what we do know — which I’ve culled from my own reporting, reporting from the New York Times and the Louisville Courier-Journal, as well as from conversations with the lawyers for Taylor’s family — the decision to charge Detective Brett Hankison with wanton endangerment was probably correct, as was the decision not to charge the other officers involved in the shooting. If ballistics had conclusively shown that one of the bullets from Hankison’s gun killed Taylor, he could be charged with reckless homicide, but according to Cameron, the bullets that struck Taylor could not be matched to Hankison’s gun. There’s the problem that the police who conducted the raid were relying on a warrant procured by another officer, which was then signed by a judge. There were many flaws and abrogations in that process, but it would be unfair and not legal to hold them accountable for any of that.

But “not illegal” should not mean “immune from criticism.” Part of the problem was Cameron himself, who was selective in what information he released to the point of misleading the public about key facts in the case. (This raises real questions about whether the grand jury was also misled. That’s why an attorney for Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker, who fired at the police during the raid, is demanding that Cameron release the evidence that was presented to the grand jury.)

Furthermore, Taylor’s death was not, as Cameron suggested, simply a tragedy for which no one is to blame. The police work in this case was sloppy, and the warrant service was reckless. Taylor is dead because of a cascade of errors, bad judgment and dereliction of duty. And it’s important that the record on this be clear. So here are some correctives for the misinformation I’ve seen online…

“This is just an all-around tragedy. We shouldn’t focus on who to blame, whether its police, prosecutors, Walker or Taylor.”

The most serious questions here concern the investigation itself, and why these officers were asked to serve a warrant on Taylor’s home in the first place. There’s the lie about the postal inspector. There is the fact that despite the surveillance on Taylor’s home, the police didn’t know there was another person inside. There are the police bullets that were inadvertently fired into surrounding apartments. There’s the cut-and-paste language used to secure the no-knock portion of the warrant. There’s also the fact that the officer who procured the warrant was not part of the raid team. There’s the fact that five officers involved in the Taylor raid were involved in another violent, botched raid on an innocent family in 2018…

show full post on front page

To simply blow this off as a tragedy for which no one is to blame is an insult to the life and legacy of Taylor, but also to the dozens of innocent people who have been gunned down in their own homes before her. And the effort by Cameron and others to make all of this go away by feeding the public half-truths that blame the victims in this story — Taylor and Walker — for Taylor’s death is inexcusable.

We could prevent the next Breonna Taylor. We could ban forced entry raids to serve drug warrants. We could hold judges accountable for signing warrants that don’t pass constitutional muster. We could demand that police officers wear body cameras during these raids to hold them accountable, and that they be adequately punished when they fail to activate them. We could do a lot to make sure there are no more Breonna Taylors. The question is whether we want to.

It should outrage Americans and Kentuckians that two ?@DailyCaller? reporters were arrested while covering protests in Louisville, despite identifying themselves as press. #FirstAmendment https://t.co/GwIohTkvw4

— Ali Velshi (@AliVelshi) September 24, 2020

Here’s CNN’s report on the arrests.

the cops should release your reporters but you motherfuckers spent the last three months licking badges & cheering them on as they beat & arrested innocent civilians and I’ll be goddamned if I forget it https://t.co/99nmhheZcg

— kilgore trout, non mini-stroke haver (@KT_So_It_Goes) September 24, 2020

This is from a Fox News interview with one of the reporters arrested:

… Ventura said he was surprised to find that a majority of the men he was detained with had traveled from Louisville from out of state to take part in the protests.

“Most of the men that I was in the holding cell with were from out of state. We had some folks coming in from Indiana. Multiple folks coming from Detroit and Ohio. They all came in angered off the [grand jury] announcement,” he recalled.

Ventura said he was told that since many of the men “were held in the cell for so long, they said that they are actually not coming out to protest anymore, and if they do come out to protest, they will actually be coming home before the curfew.”

Outside agitators, y’know. Bet those guys learned a lesson!

There’s No Comfort in Responsibility

by Four Seasons Total Landscaping mistermix|  September 6, 20204:46 pm| 44 Comments

This post is in: Shitty Cops

I’m finally back from taking care of my parents in the Dakotas, having my time there increased by my sister and brother being exposed to COVID+ individuals and having to quarantine (both tested negative in the end).  I got back just in time for Rochester to be the center of yet another police homicide of an unarmed black man.

For those of you who’ve missed this one, the short recap is that Daniel Prude was killed in custody on March 23 (he died a week later but he essentially choked to death that night).  Here’s a tick-tock from CNN that covers the details of his death, which has been ruled a homicide by the county medical examiner.

His death wasn’t an issue until the family obtained bodycam footage through a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request and held a press conference on Wednesday to release it.   There have been demonstrations ever since.  Last night, a group of protesters with three elected officials at the head was met with pepper balls from the police — one of the elected officials was shot in the head with a pepper ball.  This occurred immediately after the police declared that the protest was an unlawful assembly – which, at that point, it clearly wasn’t.  After that declaration, the crowd pitched water bottles and other debris at the cops, and the cops shot a number of reporters in the head with pepper balls.

Here’s a shot of another city council member confronting police:

NE District City Councilman Micheal Patterson – photo credit unknown pic.twitter.com/sQ5FPdMOxV

— Brian Sharp (@SharpRoc) September 6, 2020

Throughout this crisis, Mayor Lovely Warren has been, as usual, awful.  Her transparently false excuse that she couldn’t make any announcements about Prude’s death because it was being investigated by New York Attorney General Tish James was rebutted by James’ office.  The day after a shambolic news conference where she made that claim, Warren suspended all officers involved in Prude’s death.

This afternoon, at another weak news conference, (video link) Warren and Police Chief LaRon Singletary outdid each other in the quest to form words into sentences without conveying meaning.  The main announcement at the press conference was that a local pastor was going to form a group of “elders” who would create a buffer between protesters and police.  Reverend Myra Brown will lead this group, and volunteered to do it, after protesters sheltered in her church to avoid pepper balls — in other words, she’s pushing Warren to agree to have a set of pastors and community leaders act as human shields.

So, this is where we are right now.  The police are so out of control, and Warren is such a weak leader, that someone from the community has to step up to serve as a human shield.  I predict injuries, because our cops are as bad as all the rest, which is to say, pretty bad.

The kid who murdered at least two people in Kenosha seems to have been a softer, dumber version of the guy who murdered Heather Heyer in Charlottesville — a dropout whose uneasy classmates ‘joked’ about becoming a school shooter, someone whose only strong affiliation or interest was a Protect & Serve! fantasy of blue knights standing guard over a grateful community against the forces of disorder. In the Reuters video with the best short summary, he runs away from people attempting to disarm him, literally trips over his own feet, and starts spraying bullets in all directions when they catch up to him. Then he walks toward an armored police vehicle with his hands up — only to be waved past by LEOs in search of the real threat, mouthy Black protestors and stoners armed with skateboards.

And then the Worst People in the World leapt to his defense, because after all this ‘misunderstood young man’ was just doing what they’d been urging all their listeners to do.

Wednesday Evening Open Thread: Just How Broken *Has* 2020 Made Us?

Broken enough that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion needs a warning label:

Extremely irresponsible for the @FBI to do this without offering context — that it's famous racist propaganda in their possession because they've investigated the people distributing it. Issuing it like this is vulnerable to "endorsed by the FBI!" spin on this infamous racism. pic.twitter.com/TZkoxSDVtx

— MadAtTiresHat (@Popehat) August 19, 2020

Per the Daily Dot:

The FBI’s Records Vault Twitter account is facing criticism after it tweeted out a link to a PDF that included the Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic hoax, without any context.

The Records Vault account is automated, and tweets out links to Freedom of Information Act requests that are now public. However, the account tweeting out the hoax literature without context has generated a heap of criticism…

The PDF the FBI tweeted out does include a 1964 report from the Senate Judiciary Committee where it explicitly calls the document “fabricated,” however, it is toward the end of the 139-page PDF, after several copies of Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion, which the FBI apparently had in its records from when people sent it to them.

Given that the FBI’s tweet was just a link to a PDF with no context, it quickly was condemned online as “wildly irresponsible” and “vulnerable to ‘endorsed by the FBI!’ spin on this infamous racism.” …

Do better, FBI!

Context: FBI Records Vault tweets out files it is releasing by including the subject. Without context.

Judging by the responses, it did not go well this time. Quite the contrary.

The context of the antisemitic hoax is there, deep inside the documents.

Context REALLY matters. pic.twitter.com/pnSk2N3KtG
