I'm really learning to loathe how they make everyone shot by police a beautiful, innocent, angelic, wonderful, faultless ray of sunshine in the media. Just an innocent, carefree, pillar in the community recklessly gunned down by a Barney Fife.

The reality is never close to this... I often wonder how many pictures they have to filter through to find one that doesn't reveal their true character.

exactly, she is not the innocent little snowflake some make her out to be and knew what was going on.. Unfortunately, she chose to put herself in that situation with a drug dealer.

Exactly, if you don't have an extensive record, and/or hang out with known dirt bags, this shit never happens to you.
Must be because I'm white.

Woman had a TDS meltdown over a MAGA street corner rally then proceeded to hit the vehicle in front of her while police were behind her

Unless the car in front of her moved very quickly when hit and then stopped just as quickly, it doesn't appear she hit the car, but this is good enough. I think the cops lit her up because of hanging out the window with the double birdies, as well as failing to maintain control of her vehicle, if they want to give her a hard time. Insane twat. She's embarrassed herself thoroughly, and this will multiply by a factor of infinity when she realizes this video made it to Twitter.

I have an engineer in Louisville that is staying home today. He called yesterday to say that things were getting tense.

While she was not the main target she was certainly a known associate at conspirator. She likely never handled any of the drugs directly but that does not matter. She provided shelter, transportation, and moved money.

She knew EXACTLY what she was involved in.

This is a hard lesson that has been going on forever with parents of daughters.

This girl, while looking to do the right thing in the real world, liked hanging out with the bad-boys and ends up being an accessory or, worse.
She liked the thrill of being with a thug or, a guy who at least acted like it: gimmie a man that's got some roughneck in him
Lay with dogs, you get the fleas.

Got a good friend who's sister is like this, everyone else in the family has figured-out how to live in the world, yet she continues to make bad decisions, including raising a kid without a father, because she wants to be-real. Why don't you get a guy who's got a career going, has his shit together?
What like some square? A buster? Hell no!

A large area of Downtown Louisville has been barricaded off with limited access points.

Mayor Fischer has issued 2 “Executive Orders” concerning actions that will occur to control any problems that might (WILL) result when the Grand Jury announcement is made.

The officer that was wounded in the arrest and gunfire sent an “open letter” to his fellow LMPD officers; he didn’t hold anything back in calling out LMPD administration nor the Mayor.

So it's a bad idea to hang out the window looking to the side and using both hands to flip people off.

Distracted driving? Careless driving? Reckless driving? Being a stupid twat infront of the police? So many options...

So when is the grand jury announcement.

I was just wondering if things had calmed down since the head progs told the thugs to stop burning things or if things were just not being covered

I agree with these sentiments, with just one thing to add: Fuck you "Dr." Ricky Jones.

Whether they indict the cops or not they are still going to burn that city down

I think at this point, that is a given.

Seattle City Council votes to override Mayor Durkan's budget veto

https://komonews.com/news/loca...-durkans-budget-veto

The Seattle City Council voted 7-2 Tuesday evening to override a veto by Mayor Jenny Durkan of three budget bills that would have halted sharp cuts to the budget of the Seattle Police Department.

The council's vote capped several hours worth of public debate about the controversial measure, all of it carried out online because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The two council members who voted against overriding the veto were
Alex Pedersen and Debora Juarez.

“When I look back in this moment in time, I want to be able to tell my daughter, who I’m currently holding in my arms, that I did the right thing, and that I voted on the right side of history,” said council President Lorena Gonzalez.

“In my mind, the choice is clear,” said Councilmember Tammy Morales, who began her comments by reading the names of all of the men and women killed by Seattle police officers over the last decade. “We owe our black and indigenous community members about 400 years of investments.”

As part of the amended budget proposed by the council, which has now been officially adopted, the spending plan calls for:

Cutting the police department staff by roughly 100 officers;
Eliminating the department's Navigation Team, which serves as an outreach effort to the homeless. The council voted 7-2 to override this budget bill, while voting 9-0 to override the other budget bills.
Trimming the salaries of SPD’s command staff.

The Council’s 2020 amended budget will strip the department of roughly $3 million, which equates to less than a 1 percent defunding of the department’s 2020 budget.

These suggested cuts will now fall on the Durkan Administration for implementation.

“Council, as a legislative branch of city government, can pass legislation and budgets,” Gonzalez said. “But we cannot force the mayor to spend or not spend as we have directed.”

Kelsey Nyland, a mayoral spokesperson, said they’re now looking into legal concerns of elements of the budget approved by the council, including implementing layoffs and potential salary cuts to the police department's top brass.

“Votes do have consequences," Nyland said in the statement. "Because of Council’s actions today, the Navigation team will be eliminated, severely restricting the City’s ability to move people out of homelessness and deal with encampments for the rest of this year. The City will move forward with layoffs for the City staff who are coordinating and helping individuals experiencing homelessness at encampments across the City.”

Nyland said it’s unclear if this override vote will impact Durkan's 2021 budget, which she is expected to submit to the council for consideration next week.

For those on the Council, today’s vote reflects an important step in reforming policing in Seattle.

“Everyone in our city deserves to feel safe in their community," Gonzalez said. "But the countless videos and names of black and brown lives lost here in Seattle and across the country has shown us that not everyone feels safe in their communities, and that in fact, not everyone in their community is safe."

The council on Aug. 10 voted 7-1 to approve the spending plan that will reduce funding to the police department by 14 percent for the remainder of this year. The budget approved by the council, however, was far below the 50 percent reduction that some members had lobbied for and community groups had demanded. But the vote led to a formal and informal efforts to recall some council members.

The council took up the vote one week after it returned from its summer recess.

There was talk yesterday of a budget compromise that would have rolled back the suggested cuts to the department. But the council was able to rebuff that plan when it had the votes needed to override the Durkan veto.

quote:

“Everyone in our city deserves to feel safe in their community," Gonzalez said.

And what you're doing, you ridiculous moron, will insure people will never feel or be safe again. Welcome to third world status Seattle.

People deserve to BE safe, whether they FEEL safe or not. Some people will never feel safe, no matter what is done. And some people will never be safe, because they continually make bad decisions and associate with bad persons.

It’s both. The local news had already stopped giving live updates on all the violence before Don Lemonhead et al had “concerns.”

An announcement in the Breonna Taylor case is expected at 1:30 today. There is a very large contingent of federal law enforcement on the ground and some national guard units have been activated but not yet deployed. In addition to unrest in Louisville, Lexington and Frankfort also expect at least minor disturbances.

The good news is the Anarchist Cities aren't seeing the writing on the wall and they're plowing full steam ahead into it. Who are they going to tax to cover the shortage in tax revenue? Amazon is already relocating 25,000 workers to Bellevue Wa.

He said more than 100 businesses in the area have exited since March. Blakeney points to a combination of factors, including coronavirus-related closures and social unrest. But in the case of Columbia, he said he believes it has a lot to do with deteriorating safety conditions at the corner of 3rd Street and Pine Avenue.
