Yes, but it will be powered by solar panels. So there is that.

Completely untrue. No prior relationship exists.

GREAT!
Do,you know how long it's going to take to electrocute me with solar power?!?!

Yep... we do.
My daughter sent me the quote.
I thought it kind of fit in the thread "The riots in America and the attempted overthrow of the United States"
The riots are kind of a symptom.
I do think the greatest threat to this country is from within.

That’s a powerful quote, and a stark perspective on the predicament we find ourselves in.

I'm sure city leader scumbags are celebrating tonight.

Document Shows Former Memphis Police Officer Took Photos of Badly Beaten Tyre Nichols and Texted Them to ‘Female Acquaintance’


One of the former Memphis Police officers charged in last month’s brutal beating death of Tyre Nichols used his personal smartphone to take photos of the handcuffed and bloodied black man, according to records released on Tuesday.

The latest revelations shine the spotlight back on rumors being investigated by The Tennessee Star that Officer Demetrius Haley and his fellow Scorpion Unit law enforcement colleagues were targeting Nichols because of a relationship he allegedly had with Haley’s ex-wife.

“On [Haley’s] personal cell phone, [Haley] took two photographs while standing in front of the obviously injured subject after he was handcuffed,” states the document obtained through media public records requests. “[Haley] admitted [he] shared the photo in a text message with five people; one civilian employee, two MPD officers, and one female acquaintance.”...


Could be why, despite utterly dominating news coverage for many days, this story has disappeared.

I’m no Sherlock Holmes but the math doesn’t add up, but then again it may be Memphis math.

Or he took the photos to brag about it, like the dipshit thug he apparently is. Now it is coming out that all 5 officers either didn't activate or TOOK OFF their body worn cameras prior to the beating.

Going to call it as I see it and have heard from a couple former Memphis Officers:
1. Hiring people (or folks ) that shouldn't have been hired.
2. Retention: retaining officers, especially those who check certain box(es), who would have been fired a few years ago for bad behavior.
3. Supervision: Either it is bad or non-existent. You think this is the first beating they did? No way. More will come out and there will be a pattern of body worn cameras not being turned on or taken off. In the supervisor area, there are a lot of sergeants and lieutenants (usually street level supervisors) who have or are retiring (in my small 40 officer agency, three experienced sergeants will retire between April and August this year). Those positions will be filled with new supervisors, some of whom check certain box(es), which will result in bad supervisors supervising bad officers.

I left training out of the above because there is NO training that says to kick a suspect in the head (unless lethal force is needed), hit a suspect in the head with a baton or ASP (unless lethal force is needed), or two officers holding a suspect up while a third officer beats him.

Stick a fork in 'em, 'cause they are done.

I don't see plea deals in their future.

Could be rough in the joint for those mugs.

Get da butter, get da jelly, 'cause they. are. toast.

Ex-Memphis cops charged in Tyre Nichols' death 'swarmed' Black Army vet and beat him 3 days earlier: lawsuit

Attorneys allege Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse evaMADISON, Wis. (AP) — Attorneys for a man shot and injured by Kyle Rittenhouse during a protest in 2020 are asking a federal judge to give them more time to serve Rittenhouse with a civil lawsuit, alleging that he is purposefully trying to evade them.

Attorneys for Gaige Grosskreutz filed the request on Wednesday, the deadline that U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman had given them to serve the lawsuit on Rittenhouse and the other defendants. Grosskreutz added Rittenhouse as a defendant last week in the lawsuit that also targets the city of Kenosha and local officials.

The lawsuit, originally filed in October 2021, accuses Rittenhouse and other defendants, including a host of local law enforcement agencies, of causing the injuries that Grosskreutz suffered that night. It is seeking an unspecified amount of damages.

The lawsuit is similar to one filed by the father of Anthony Huber, one of two men Rittenhouse shot and killed that night.

Rittenhouse was charged with homicide, attempted homicide and reckless endangering for killing Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum and wounding Grosskreutz with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle in the summer of 2020 during a tumultuous night of protests over the shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a white Kenosha police officer.

Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges in November 2021 after testifying he acted in self-defense. Rittenhouse’s actions became a flashpoint in the debate over guns, vigilantism and racial injustice in the U.S. He was 17 at the time of the shootings and is now 20.

An attorney for Grosskreutz said in a legal filing Wednesday that all of the other defendants, except for Rittenhouse, have accepted and waived service of the lawsuit. Rittenhouse’s attorney in the Huber lawsuit said he was not authorized to accept service and a person believed to be Rittenhouse’s mother who answered the door at a home in Florida said “Rittenhouse had been gone for a while,” according to the filing.

Grosskreutz “is currently unaware of Mr. Rittenhouse’s current whereabouts and is concerned that Mr. Rittenhouse is attempting to evade service,” according to the filing seeking a 60-day extension to serve him.

Rittenhouse last week changed attorneys for the Huber lawsuit, going back to one of his defense attorneys from the trial, Mark Richards. Richards said Thursday that he does not represent Rittenhouse in the Grosskreutz lawsuit.

Richards also said he does not know where Rittenhouse is.

“I don’t know how to find Kyle,” Richards said. “I do not currently know where Kyle is.”

Adelman, in the Huber lawsuit, earlier this month denied a motion by Rittenhouse and other defendants seeking to dismiss the case. The judge said in that case that Huber’s death “could plausibly be regarded as having been proximately caused by the actions of the governmental defendants.”

Attorneys and private investigators for Huber’s father spent over 100 hours trying to locate Rittenhouse, tracking down addresses in seven states before they found the home of his mother and sister in Florida. The lawsuit was served on Rittenhouse’s sister, who said that he wasn’t home. Adelman said that was sufficient to qualify as being served in the Huber case.

Rittenhouse’s attorneys had argued that the Huber case against him should be dismissed because Rittenhouse wasn’t properly served with the lawsuit. Adelman dismissed that, saying that Rittenhouse “is almost certainly evading service.”

“Rittenhouse has been deliberately cagey about his whereabouts,” Adelman wrote earlier this month. “Although he denies living in Florida, he does not identify the place that he deems to be his residence.”

In 2020, Rittenhouse went to Kenosha from his home in nearby Antioch, Illinois, after businesses were ransacked and burned in the nights that followed Blake’s shooting. He joined other armed civilians on the streets, carrying a weapon authorities said was illegally purchased for him because he was underage.

Rittenhouse first killed Rosenbaum, 36, in the parking lot of an auto dealership and as Rittenhouse ran from the scene he stumbled and fell. Huber, 26, struck Rittenhouse with his skateboard and tried to disarm him. Rittenhouse fell to the ground and shot Huber to death and wounded demonstrator Grosskreutz, who was 27 at the time.

Rittenhouse has maintained a high public profile, particularly on social media, where he is an outspoken advocate for gun rights. He has nearly 1 million followers on Twitter and has spoken at conservative gatherings.

He tweeted a fundraising plea this week in reference to the Grosskreutz lawsuit, saying: “This lawsuit is an attempt to drown anyone who legally and justifiably defends there lives from attackers in a mountain of legal debt. We can not let them win. If they can come after me they will come after you.”

Grosskreutz, who testified at the trial, last year sought to change his legal name because of what he now says was continued harassment related to the case.

$100 million reparations bill calls for formal apology to family of George Floyd

Minnesota Democrats have introduced a $100 million reparations bill that would require the state to issue a formal apology to the family of George Floyd and acknowledge the “systemic racism in the state.”

Introduced by Rep. Samakab Hussein, DFL-St.Paul, the “Minnesota Migration Act” begins with a list of “findings.”

“The legislature finds … that structural institutionalized racism in Minnesota and all of American society has led to overwhelming Black-white disparities in housing, business investment, economic prosperity, health and wellness, life expectancy, and infant mortality,” the bill states.

^^^^^ Tommyrot! Balderdash! Poppycock!

The legislature finds … that black people cannot be racist... because... shut up!
