"He said 'Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me,' as they were putting him on the ground," Angelo Quinto's mother said.

A Navy veteran who was going through an episode of paranoia died after a Northern California police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes, his family said Tuesday. The family of Angelo Quinto called police on December 23 because the 30-year-old was suffering a mental health crisis and needed help.

His family says a responding officer knelt on Quinto's neck for nearly five minutes while another officer restrained his legs. Quinto lost consciousness and was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he died three days later.

"He said 'Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me,' as they were putting him on the ground. They handcuffed him and one officer put his knee on the back of his neck the whole time I was in the room," said Quinto's mother, Cassandra Quinto-Collins.

A video recorded by Quinto-Collins shows her son listless, with a bloodied face and his hands cuffed behind his back. She said she began recording after seeing her son's eyes were rolled up in his head.

The family filed a legal claim against the Antioch Police Department last week, which gives the department 45 days to respond.

A cop was on the phone, drinking and driving, admitted to killing a woman, and he was not arrested, much less even fired.

This is infuriating! This is not some case with no evidence or disputed facts. He admitted that he caused the death and police even found an open Dos Equis beer in his truck. Double standards like this create profound distrust!

Grand juror said AG Daniel Cameron misrepresented the deliberations. Cameron agreed to release grand jury recording.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said he would comply with a judge's order to release the grand jury recording in the Breonna Taylor case after a grand juror alleged that Cameron had misrepresented the deliberations.

The juror filed a motion calling for the release of the transcripts on Monday so that "the truth may prevail."...

An attorney for the juror told The New York Times that Cameron "misrepresented" the deliberations and "failed to offer the panel the option of indicting the two officers who fatally shot the young woman."...

"I never had faith in Daniel Cameron to begin with," Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, said after the decision. "I was reassured Wednesday of why I have no faith in the legal system, in the police, in the law..."

So not adding on to the existing post because well, the thing @lilacstables said, but this has also um been on my mind lately and all that:

The thing with blues and abuse isn’t rate.

Like, there’s the thing where blues don’t usually date out of caste as primaries, so it’s going to be mostly side partners and that might affect things. And there’s the thing where people are more likely to tell themselves well this is how it goes isn’t it. And there’s the thing where the kind of abuse that’d be more blue people might be way less likely to notice аs it - we’re getting better as a society on the hitting, mostly, and getting better on some of the other things even, but ‘you partner who just bought you something so very nice you could never afford makes argument that you can’t say aren’t reasonable...’ -

But that’s not even the point.

The point is that regardless of what’s going on in a caste on average, every caste is going to have people who are, well, fucking horrible.

And the point is that blues get away with it.

(Which also of course means they can keep doing it - an orange who chokes their partners till they nearly die is probably not doing it again, to say the least. A blue whose grandparents get them out of it and nudge them to the kind of people who’ll be noticed less is.)

And yeah it happens in Anitam too. And yeah statistic and averages and all that are things and of course it matters if it happens somewhere more. But that doesn’t really help you when the minority statistic is you.

A newly enacted law criminalizes people who "harass" cops with a bias and allows cops to go after citizens who are accused of harassing them.

As of January 1, 2021, a new law went into effect with the Orwellian title of “Bias Motivated Intimidation of First Responders Prosecution Act." This will be used against, folks. Guaranteed!

A newly enacted law criminalizes people who "harass" cops with a bias and allows cops to go after citizens who are accused of harassing them.

This new law will now give police a valid legal excuse to arrest first amendment auditors, cop watchers and any bystander who disagrees with the behavior and treatment by police who might be abusing or harassing a citizen. This is not good!

Daniel Pantaleo suffered the absolute minimal consequence for killing Eric Garner. The fact that the police union is throwing a tantrum is sick and outrageous.
