This reminds me of how much people talked shit about Floyd protests on my college subreddit, which is in Toronto. “Oh I support black lives, but Floyd didn’t even happen in Canada. Why are they protesting here?” “Oh I support black lives, but why did they have to do it during the pandemic? They told us not to go out and now because of them the numbers will go up!”. Incredibly disappointed in my institution, looking at you. Buy it : Music Teacher Halloween Party Costume Shirt

First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action.

It is the same in Belgium, but the media and shitty tabloids always find ways to do as little possible to protect the anonymity of the suspect. Once it's a big news item or if it is a public figure it's a matter of days before everyone knows their names. They should enforce it more strictly imo. It's one of the cornerstones of democracy.And you should be. Almost no case is clear cut like that and name dropping potentially innocent people's names can be devastating for them.

Not sure about Belgium, but in the Netherlands a suspect's full name is not given before they are found guilty. Derek Chauvin would be known as Derek C. here. You can kill a dozen toddlers in broad daylight with multiple camera crews around and you'd still be anonymous until you're actually convicted.Here in Iceland the news outlet could also be liable for showing a person's face without permission through personal information laws but I am not an expert.

Don't forget nazi hatred of mental illness. They actually killed around 200 000 to 275 000 people with mental illness, half of them with diagnosis of schizophrenia. They attempted to exterminate every single individual in Germany who suffered from schizophrenia, and almost everyone with schizophrenia were either sterilized or killed.Even if the racists get rid of the minorities, they will one day turn on themselves, because at the first failure of their ethnostate, they will try to defect the blame on women/people with mental illness/the moderates or the extremists.

This happens a lot in my area, where police abuse the mentally disabled or unstable. That’s why we need separate services for them, someone other than the police; law enforcement officers aren’t capable of managing anyone who is distressed.I agree, but abuse of mentally disabled or otherwise defenseless people isn't limited to police. It's a common problem across any related industries including nursing homes that are explicitly setup to deal with one group of people.

The last thing you want is your picture on r all, saying that you are a rapist, especially if Justice decide that you are not one, because your life would be over before the judgement."Something seemed to be going on with my husband, he wasn't feeling well, but the police ignored my husband all night," said Mrs Chovancova.

There was a video they showed my squad of a prisoner being moved, he was feral and would spit etc, so he was sedated and eventually placed in a room on a mattress face down. They sat on him too, and he was saying "I can't breathe" he eventuality died. That brought about a lot of changes to how we work. Feral or not, you don't suffocate somebody.This is part of training for cops in America and is emphasized heavily as something you shouldn't do and should be held liable for at the academy level.

If it happened in 2018, it couldn't be George Floyd inspired (I'm assuming the cause of death had to be on the death certificate which shouldn't have taken until April 2020 to release.)

There is no scientific or medical evidence of any such condition as "excited delirium syndrome." Its a term police invented to retroactively justify killings and eventually became a thing that they can actually order paramedics to treat by forcibly injecting suspects with ketamine for. They often do this with no knowledge of the individuals medical history or possible drug allergies, which is how they so frequently kill people. This gives them a bullshit sciencey sounding word for their failure to deescalate situations. They throw this bullshit diagnosis at anyone who is on drugs or is naturally excited by adrenaline from having guns pointed at them or who they just feel like killing.

That being said, it's really disgusting it took this story to hit the news before things are moving internally. Police unions are throwing the woman under the bus with no attempt to excuse her, an internal investigation has been launched and the second in command of the federal police stepped down until the investigation is done. Keep in mind than the police here is way less militarized than in the US and are generally held accountable of their fuck ups comparatively more. The way they're playing dumb as if they didn't hear of the case in two years "but now that they know they must make a stand!" is quite revolting.

The case isn't getting buried. Belgian justice system is known to be slow because of a lack of fundings. However in this case, the family members asked twice for further investigation, with the latest demand being February of this year.

 You probably know this, but synthetic weed would probably be illegal if it was easy to ban. Problem is that manufacturers can easily change the formula a bit and suddenly it's legal again. I'm in favour of legalising cannibis for the record.In the UK they have banned all synthetic weed with broad enough terminology to cover whatever they like. The problem they face is that the police don't have the resources to care. It's everywhere.Part of the issue it's it's impossible to enforce. Look how well the war on drugs has gone. Drugs won a long time ago. Buy it : Laptop Coffee Leggings Virtual Teacher Shirt

This happend in 2018, the only reason it was in news yesterday is because his wife decided to do an interview to bring attention to the case.

Idk about Europe but in the states newspapers can't lay blame/intent, until it's proven in court.

This, together with the police union blaming the victim: "excited delirium syndrome which caused a deadly heart attack". (the cop's excuse in the George Floyd case) should make it clear they had no intention of punishing them or admitting any wrongdoing.No, they are actually dropped into a pile of shit if they get caught doing shit like this or other illegal things, it more depends on how corrupt the mayor or police chief of that department is and how he values public opinion.

I probably will get hated here in the comment section, since this is a striking difference to the American perception of justice, but I believe even criminals have a right to privacy, especially before being convicted of any crime.

Personally, I think that should be the case everywhere. Innocent until proven guilty doesn't exist without it, but guilty until proven innocent is almost always the case. Because the court of public opinion convicts based on so little evidence, even based only on a mugshot, and the public can do irreparable damage to not only an individual, but to their family and children.

There’s an intentionality behind using twitter — as Minneapolis and NYC among others have — to spread arrest records and addresses of protesters that isn’t reflected in the quiet but publicly-available record-keeping they do for other arrests.

America are pretty open about their (near as damn it) indefinite detention of people.

I think most modern presidents have willingly said, 'man, best of luck, this is gonna suck for you.' Trump, however, has literally made it look like they had never done anything and cheapened their efforts to be the best for the country they could. So, I could see them having some resentment there.More specifically: backing out of the Paris agreement. Taunting Iran. Acting as if Corona doesn’t exist, then failing to do something once it can’t be ignored. Trying to turn this country into a dictatorship by force. Blatantly ignoring the constitution and citizens’ rights on multiple occasions, with the right to assembly only being the most recent example. His childish disposition. His fat fucking face.
