Fuck the police.

A group of Georgia cops so fucking dumb that they did the Big Lebowski bit and dumped a paralyzed guy out of his wheelchair, then accused him of faking it reason.com/2025/04/11/g...

is fulton county okay?

vickiecarey.bsky.social•45 days ago

It gets worse.
1 they didn't investigate the allegations.
2 they assumed he was guilty when he was arrested
3 and they overstepped their Authority by physically assaulting him during the arrest.

flypusher713.bsky.social•45 days ago

While I obviously know nothing about the dynamics of their old relationship, anyone who would make such a blatantly obvious false accusation is one nasty piece of work.

flypusher713.bsky.social•45 days ago

Also damn most of those cops have switched their brains completely off.

lfgr1994.bsky.social•45 days ago

We’re going to wake up one day with them busting down our front doors.

"So now that's gonna be up to you and the courts and your lawyers and her to establish your innocence" - why are the people entrusted with enforcing the law the most unfamiliar with it?

bookishdemocrat.bsky.social•45 days ago

This is absolutely horrible!

markwallace101.bsky.social•44 days ago

Jesus people, do yourself a favor and don't read the article. The headline is actually not the worst part of all of it.

"that's gonna be up to you and the courts and your lawyers and her to /establish your innocence/"

We get no respect!Can’t figure out why

rivetgeek.aggregatecognizance.com•45 days ago

What's fucking disgusting about this is the footage of the other cop, supervisor or whatever, being all, "It's a ruse, he's just trying to avoid going to jail." The entire situation embodies many of the problems with American law enforcement.

i read the whole article hoping to learn that the false-claim issue was being pursued, but i see she appears to be free of repercussions

not even pretending they have an investigative role

Assholes, some or most. Ugh. No trust.

michiganchris.bsky.social•45 days ago

Biden and his neoliberal pals turning their backs on BLM in favor of the police state still infuriates me.

One of my big hopes is when this is all over there's a serious talk about dismantling the US police state and an even deeper conversation about the kinds of people we allow to become police.

davidsp72.bsky.social•44 days ago

This would have made for a side-splitting Monty Python sketch.

hwestiii.bsky.social•45 days ago

i’m sure they probably accused critics of being insensitive to violence against women. I could totally hear that coming from the White House in an analgous situation like we are hearing about with respect to Mr Garcia

mstrobel.bsky.social•45 days ago

If the Ms. Jensen actually knew Mr. Read, she’d obviously know she’d be found out for such a ridiculous false report. Seems to me they should have gotten her on the phone and asked her to describe the guy. Hair, eyes, height, what the (nonexistent) tattoo on his arm looks like, etc.

mstrobel.bsky.social•45 days ago

Like, they get an actual TV police show trope handed to them on a silver platter. Probably the most interesting thing they’ll deal with all year, and there’s ZERO interest in doing actual police work?

44lights.bsky.social•45 days ago

“So now that's gonna be up to you and the courts and your lawyers and her to establish your innocence,"

A**holes, it’s innocent UNTIL proven guilty

gregg-apfsds.bsky.social•45 days ago

My fav part of this story:

“So now that's gonna be up to you and the courts and your lawyers and her to establish your innocence,"

andy-pearce.com•44 days ago

That famous principle of law enforcement: guilty until proven that it’s someone else’s problem.

princessjemmy.bsky.social•45 days ago

I’ve always said this: cops wouldn’t get half the hatred if they at least tried to do the fucking job. Instead most of them are LPS (lazy pieces of…).

ttuk.bsky.social•44 days ago

shit.

darwinwoodka.bsky.social•45 days ago

It's innocent til proven guilty, not guilty til proven innocent.

cantard.bsky.social•45 days ago

Innocent until proven guilty. Now go prove your innocence.

...wut?

gibodean.bsky.social•45 days ago

Meanwhile a guy who was found guilty of 34 felonies is the president.

This is the worst timeline.

daltonator.bsky.social•45 days ago

I guess we're at the Cardassia stage of jurisprudence

Fav substituting for infuriating in order to avoid screaming into the void

stephielynn204.bsky.social•45 days ago

The cops could have easily proven he was telling the truth.. as a paralyzed man he would have handicap parking privileges.. so they should have been able to verify that information in a government database!

danlather.bsky.social•45 days ago

Can't be said enough.

I don’t want them fucked…. I want them out of the solar system….

kipwilliams.bsky.social•44 days ago

It's just a few bad apples who give the rest a bad name. The others are decent, law-abiding chaps who look away from the bad ones, and when the bad ones find themselves in court for their behavior, the good ones attend the trial in uniform and glare at the jury the whole time.

gastropoda.bsky.social•44 days ago

Start out as slave catchers and…

aegtx.bsky.social•44 days ago

This is why the full proverb is "one bad apple ruins the barrel."

kipwilliams.bsky.social•44 days ago

Precisely. It was obvious enough when people knew how barrels in apples really behaved.

canuckchuck.bsky.social•45 days ago

A local billboard with their names and faces needs to go up. Hard core public shaming. Make it so they can’t eat a meal in public.

May they be sued into pennilessness and squalor.

tbati.bsky.social•45 days ago

Amen.

snakeman49.bsky.social•44 days ago

I've been saying that since 1969. It was as true then as it is now.

shelleybleu.bsky.social•45 days ago

Cop says, "you are innocent until proven guilty", but he also said, "we have to treat you like you did it until proven otherwise"??? I am paraphrasing here, so don't come after me.

somedonuts.bsky.social•45 days ago

Were they Protecting or Serving? 🤔

urusobu.bsky.social•45 days ago

Do you say this as an officer of the court?

heptaglemious.bsky.social•45 days ago

Saw this on Lehto's Law.
Absolutely disgraceful. This could literally have killed him.
