Last night I was made to remove the line about cops brainstorming additional charges to make themselves look better about fucking up (ALL charges were dropped eventually) from a report, right about the time cops were brainstorming charges for a 12 yr old they shot at, multiple times judging by the plethora of tiny cones marking the shell casings.

1. Thank fucking DOG cops are shit shots or there might be three dead 12-year-olds right now.

2. The practice of standing in FRONT of a vehicle while firing at it is the MOST INANE FUCKING THING ever to have originated in watching too much television.

3. Cops ABSOLUTELY DO OVERCHARGE AND JUST MAKE SHIT UP when they know they're in the wrong, in order to deflect and make it look like they've done something impressive. We really have to look at cases where charges get dropped or reduced through that lens, ALWAYS.

4. Since there really is no such thing as accountability for police, I have developed a petty and omnipresent urge to see them do more paperwork and be embarrassed by the actual wrong that they do.

I'm going to start calling for public inquiries into everything. I don't actually think the fucking inquiries are going to do a fucking thing except make paperwork and embarrass them.

Much like I don't think the SIU investigations do anything except make paperwork and embarrass them, but it is the tool I have and it is the tool I'm going to use.

4. I'm endlessly impressed by the size of my information and rumour network at this point. You'll see why shortly.

@Gigi Watching the CBC news report, I see the car has bullets in it. But they say the driver and passengers got out of the car and ran. And now one of the teens is in hospital. Which makes me wonder if the police also fired on the kids as they were running away.

@PapyrusBrigade

Does that piss you off? There is currently a Black child in the back of a cop car for HAVING A WATER GUN.

Right fucking now.

I'm waiting for one of ours to arrive on scene.

@Gigi @PapyrusBrigade Cops, aaaaaargh. Let me know if I can do anything. Hope there's no need for jail support, but cops...
@Gigi Actively traumatizing children.

@PapyrusBrigade

Apparently because of "low morale".

Maybe they should skip the no-knock warrants in the future. Or just reserve them for people they know didn't actually do anything except throw paint at buildings, who won't defend themselves.

Fascist fuck faces.

@PapyrusBrigade @Gigi

โ€œWe have a murdered police officer and the suspect is alive, and so you struggle with that internally.โ€

You struggle. Really. With which part?

If knowing that one of your colleagues has died is whatโ€™s hard, then I sympathize - but thatโ€™s where the sentence should stop.

If you find it hard that the suspect is still alive - then fuck yourself right into the sun. That stance is morally incompatible with the very idea of public service.

@DavidM_yeg @Gigi Indeed. Mourning a colleagues death, and stress of World Cup can't justify shooting a 12 year old. (Not to mention "struggling" with the idea that a suspect wasn't summarily executed).

@Gigi @PapyrusBrigade

I know weโ€™re in violent agreement here but in the interest of combatting the awful supremacist framings they infect our language with, I have to point out: itโ€™s not justified no matter who the gun is pointed at.
