BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled courts must assess the full context of a police encounter when determining what constitutes excessive force — not just the moments right before the lethal force.
Over 1,300 people were killed by police last year. This ruling will help hold the police accountable.

It sounds more like “he was having a bad day” would become a valid argument.
What am I missing? I’m no attorney and I’m in no position to argue with the ACLU.
I wholeheartedly agree with SCOTUS’s ruling.
Too many black and brown people are needlessly dying at the hands of people sworn to protect us.
Take the good news and smile, I guess. 🤷♂️
Maybe gunshot will drop down the order of highest causes of deaths.
Further these ppl killed are not persons of color with 40% of them being WHITE
This will hopefully help lawyers defend better. So many news segments show the few minutes before but neglect to show the police aggressively interacting which produces a fight/flight trigger.
Police are masters at escalating. Then crying victim.
Because they are looking to JUSTIFY the uniformed aggression
Their union will just hide them, like the Catholic Church does with abusive priests.
Like any human endeavor, the desire for power and a hoarding of resource (greed) has to be regulated in a society.
Many unions have simply become profit machines they supposedly protect people against, UFCW on top of the list.
And there are just too many goddamn Sapiens on the planet.
We did that.
The US is now pissed off at the world the US created.
I’ll take our 250 years and call it a day. Things need to change.

Know what would be a great step in putting a stop to that: making sure Trump's government doesn't create a national registry of Autistics. Will you sue to stop it?
Sex abuse insurance payouts reigned in the Catholic Church!
Lot's of jobs require an education. Why do some of the dumbest mofes in 'Murca get a pass?
Judge harassed (then vandalized) by a police officer
Her crime?
Impeding traffic.
Driving 5 mph below the limit in a residential neighborhood
Impeding traffic is a catch all used to justify Probable Cause.
It’s the counter to, I wasn’t speeding
Nope, you were “impeding”
Tune 🎶
Changed 🥁
"What part of me driving this car and living in this neighborhood doesn't add up for you?"
"I don't look like a judge? What does a judge look like?"
And when the racist POS says, "Why didn't you just tell me you were a judge?"
"Because you should treat EVERY citizen with respect!"
Instead of expanding context to protect victims of law enforcement brutality this will be interpreted to mean that whatever footage from previous twenty minutes or twenty hours will be used to JUSTIFY murder by LEOs
That needs to stop because they simply reoffend wherever they are
There is only one guy that trains police in deadly force and testifies for them in court.
Break that curse.

lord, let this one
get Viral.
The lawless biden years.
That's over, thank God.
They think they have the most dangerous job in the country. Actually, more landscapers die per year than cops. 826 deaths FY 2024.
Being a cop isn't even in the top 10.

1: Carry Personal Liability Insurance - Insurance company pays for any type of misconduct settlements lawsuit etc - NOT TAXPAYERS!
2: Body cams - any type of malfunction results in automatic suspension without pay.
3: End Qualified Immunity
They’re all dead from police interactions too.
It would also be cooler if the academy lasted longer than 21 weeks.
Be the coolest if you had to have a four year degree to be a cop.
Library, public works, etc. Next, collective punishment is unconstitutional, against the 8th amendment, specifically.
Could be done in a fairy land.

They left loopholes in how they phrased this INTENTIONALLY and it's crazy dangerous.
The very FIRST thing they will do is to begin considering social media history and criminal history to justify police killings. Guaranteed.
"Against all enemies foreign & domestic" includes the President, Congress, the Supreme Court, & cops.
To be an American must swear an eternal hostility to tyranny & traitors.
Who's on the front line? Are you?
Revolution is the solution.
We have a plan ready to go when Americans find their courage, rights, and freedom. I encourage you to encourage others & help spread the word that a revolt is on the rise in America. We all know this country ain't gonna fix itself. It's our duty, responsibility, & obligation.
Thank you. Unite and fight.
