Assuming there was a traffic infraction (big assumption), what are the chances that if it were a bus full of white students that a search would have been asked for? Also, if it were a bus full of white kids, what are the chances anyone on the bus would have granted the search since there was no cause? Just disgusting.

Watering flowers for your neighbor while Black. This is the racist, fascist MAGA GOP's Amerika. When Michael Jennings went over to his out-of-town neighbors' house to water their plants, he thought he was just doing a simple, straightforward act of kindness. A longtime pastor at Vision of Abundant Life Church in Sylacauga, Ala., Jennings recalls that, when the police arrived at his neighbors' house, he immediately noticed the officers' behavior. During the 20-minute exchange caught on body camera on May 22, a Childersburg police officer approached Jennings; on camera, the pastor could be seen watering plants in his neighbors' yard. Following Jennings' arrest and being placed in handcuffs, an unidentified neighbor — the same one who called authorities about Jennings being a "suspicious person" — told the police officers that she recognized him. But despite the unidentified woman telling officers she indeed knew Jennings, he was still arrested and charged. The Childersburg Police Department did not respond to NPR's multiple emails for a request for comment on the incident. www.npr.org/2022/09/01/1120404218/pastor-arrested-watering-flowers-alabama

Equal Opportunity Police killing . . . shot and killed a White guy in a mental health crisis. A Colorado family is demanding accountability one month after police fatally shot their 22-year-old son who had dialed 911 for roadside assistance while in the midst of an apparent mental health crisis. Body-camera footage released this week brought new details in the death of Christian Glass after a Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Deputy fired five rounds at him in Silver Plume, a mountain town roughly 45 miles west of Denver. Glass’s parents, Sally and Simon Glass, are calling for prosecutors to bring criminal charges against the deputy. Speaking to reporters Tuesday after the body-camera footage’s release, the family sought to clear Christian’s name after they said law enforcement’s initial statement on the incident inaccurately portrayed him. The family accused responding officers of needlessly escalating the situation. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/09/15/christian-glass-shooting/

This kind of depraved indifference to human life has to stop.

No doubt these sadists are MAGA GOPers. More weaponization of the FBI/DOJ against "Republicans"? Six former Mississippi law enforcement officers pleaded guilty on Thursday to multiple counts of civil rights violations for a January raid in Rankin County during which they tortured and physically abused two Black men, the Justice Department said. The men were handcuffed and arrested without probable cause, punched, verbally abused with racist slurs and Tasered more than a dozen times, the investigation revealed. The officers threw eggs at the men, held them down while pouring milk and alcohol over their faces, and assaulted one of the victims with a sword, prosecutors said. One officer carried out a “mock execution” by inserting a gun into the mouth of one man, according to the indictment. When the firearm discharged, it broke his jaw. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/08/04/mississippi-police-torture-goon-squad-racist/

Need I add some keyboard symbol for sarcasm?
