Myles Cogrove, the ex-Louisville officer who shot Breonna Taylor in her home, was hired to be a police officer again in Carroll County in Kentucky. That makes me ill. https://www.wlky.com/article/hired-carroll-county-sheriff-kentucky-louisville-breonna-taylor-myles-cosgrove/43675237

"When asked about the decision to hire Cosgrove and possible community reaction, Miller said that the department knows "there will be opinions on both sides of the equation.""

@HuShuo @georgetakei That kind of response is just plain bullsh*t. This ā€œboth sidesā€ crap has to stop. There is no ā€œOh, I want to have a known killer on my local police forceā€ side.
@Porpentina2017 @HuShuo @georgetakei unfortunately, there is a "Oh, I want to have a known killer of 'undesirables' on my local police force" side in this country, and that side seems to have a much larger influence on our politics and justice system than it should have.
@Porpentina2017 @HuShuo @georgetakei It clearly depends on who's being killed.
@Porpentina2017 @HuShuo @georgetakei ā€œboth sidesā€ are decent ppl vs ppl who think it’s okay to kill protesters while creeping on teenagers https://www.salon.com/2023/04/21/convicted-murderer-greg-abbott-wants-to-pardon-sought-chats-to-meet-young-girls/

@Porpentina2017 @HuShuo @georgetakei when using the iphone you have to close the app (swipe up) then reopen it to get the app to load new stuff. Clunky, but Elon doesn’t own it so I can’t complain
