@Seek and Destroy Thank you for your comment, in which you demonstrate a perfect example of the logical fallacy known as "ad hominem, abusive." If you would like to know, this fallacy is a logical failure in which the arguer attacks the person putting forth the argument instead of addressing the idea in the argument.
No if officers were not wearing any body cams or what not to record what goes does than the truth would not be shown. Without that, then how would we feel safe when they capture the real bad guys or if a situation gets out of hand to show the proof that officers are just doing their job.
Breonna Taylor would be alive today... Had her boyfriend NOT shot at the Police , while USING her as a Shield. BTW, they never explaind why she had a dead body in her rental car... Which wasd WHY she was FIRED from her EMT Job.
If no "Indictments" are coming afterward against any officer that policed in the manner of the report, then it is symbolic and not substantive! It is a system that is working perfectly as designed.
You are absolutely correct. I am so tired of hearings, studies, commissions, etc If the DOJ found a "pattern and practice" of illegal behavior, where are the indictments. This sounds like a RICO case, if there ever was one.

They will will never do it the government is involved with these crimes it could been stopped years ago they won’t Americans are a very unfair racist society
@@dennisg4053 you do realize that was investigated and she was found to have no involvement before she was ever shot in her home. She wasn't fired from her job. She resigned to take 2 other jobs with other hospitals. It's been widely reported. This isn't some secret covered up information that you discovered. You're just butchering the information. And if you came in my house without warning I'd shoot you too, badge or not.
Its heart breaking that so many black and brown people know in their heart this is reality and truth about how they have to live and who the police are.
there are some of their own kind who have done the very same thing too. Take the killing of Tyre Nichols as an example, those were 5 cops and were black or brown and they murdered him. So it's not always whites who do it. Seeing all this makes Dereck Chalvin's actions on Floyd like nothing and when you see those officers who used pepper spray, a taser, punched and kicked Nichols and used their batons on him, that's just out of line and it was like they knew what they were doing as you'll see from the recorded body cams. Where as in Chalvin's case he never did any of that besides using his knee to restrain floyd but he never killed him it was just Floyd died of fentanyl overdose it was just a coincidence that a cop happened to be there on May 25th. Since then the evil BLM and whites who join in betrayal have just torn too deeply and have divided America.
I just read another comment that she was fired from her emt job for having a dead body in her rental car. Is this true? Regardless police need to follow protocol and not be gangsters when dealing with gangsters and law abiding citizens.
yes they are informing us but I bet only 1 or 2 ppl go down if they even do anything further. the dont get to acting like this without some higher ups being aware. but I bet it will be a couple of relative newbies will be the only ones to take the fall
It's not just Lewisville police, it's police all over the United States. The whole law enforcement system in the United States needs to be investigated from coast to coast.
This is just a report! They need to do something about what they found. If a police officer finds that crimes are being committed they are duty bound to act. The DOJ is the chief law enforcement office in the land and they have found the laws of this land being broken. There should now be charges first to the police Chiefs and shift Sergeants allowing this culture infact they are the sources of this behavior. The Shift Sergeants typically help officers that terrorize and break the law by helping them write and rewrite incident report to either add fabricated charges or word reports so officers who are terrorizing black communities can evade punishment when they inevitably go to far with the daily crimes committed against black people. Violations of the 1st, 2nd and 4 mendments tto the constitution.
This isn't slamming them this is a horse and pony show. With charges like this we should be sending in the military on these officers. Using hostile force against them to subdue them incarcerate them and try them for war crimes.
2003 I was in Florida on a seasonal working and study visa, Im South African and always wanted to just go to the place where all my favorite music artists are from all the tv shows I watched growing up, my favorite sports after Rugby, Basketball. I love history so our country's histories are very similar we were colonized the same era you had the English and spanish french, we had the Dutch and the English rest of Africa, portugese french belgians germans italians etc. America always pointed fingers at South Africa but if it was not for the African slaves you would never be who you are today. So anyways i was stopped by cops multiple times for nonsense but when they realized i was a foreign student they always change their tone, they always started of very aggressive and dismissive and when you voice your opinion they become angered. I mean in a civilized country with all those prestigious universities you can't find it a prerequisite to have formal training in social skills and policing. Still like the cowboys in the movies i watched groing up. Our cops are horrible but what do you expect with the governing political party we have now. I respect police because they are custodians of the law and uphold democracy supposedly but the racism in america wont stop its in your roots just like in ours over here in south africa. Good luck with that.
I've often told people that the way they treat Negroes is not the same way as they treat everyone else. Even other Black people. I believe this is because in the USA they've done you no wrong, but I'm a constant reminder of their past and present evils against us without just cause.
You cannot train humanity into an inhuman monster. It takes a "special" kind of psycho, to be willing to constantly murder innocent people, without hesitation, and then celebrate afterwards. All while getting a nice, fat salary from the state.
Moses should have never drawn them out of the caves. Multiple attempts have been made to civilize cave imps but those attempts have failed. Their brute nature is inherent therefore in turn other groups in the society take on the characteristics of the brutes savage ways. It’s a whole mess of a situation that runs deep.
These are merely state-sanctioned abusers, no different from any other abuser, except that their societal role to "protect and serve" exempts them from the consequences of their weak, fearful brutality.
ITS NEEDED ASAP IN OTHER PLACES AS WELL BECAUSE AS A CITIZEN WHEN YOU SEE POLICE DOING THINGS TO PEOPLE STOP AND RECORD NO MATTER THE MORE THAT STOP AND RECORD THE MORE WILL BE RECORD FOR RECORD AND PUT IT ON LIVE.
In defense of non-abusive, good cops who place themselves in grave danger within an over-armed society every workday: If you take away qualified immunity from contracts, no one would be willing to do this very dangerous job of public law enforcement. It is just too dangerous in a nation where there are enough known guns out here to arm every single American man, women and child of every age.
When immunity is given cops break the law they were hired to enforce. They lie to get convictions. They plant evidence. They become more dangerous than the criminals.
@@billmitchell2080 yes, this is a case of that. They stand to be persecuted criminally imo. But qualified immunity refers to granting them immunity from civil suits that stem from damages they do during course of their job. We can sue the department and or city or town for damages stemming from police use of force but we can't sue individual officers involved in incident. As if they'd be able to pay out huge civil suit settlements, anyway. Yes, the do lie. They do lie to protect themselves and their fellow officers, if they can get away with it. And they do this BCS they there's really not enough money on earth to pay people to perform dangerous public service work for a public that hates you.
@@artimidz3451 TO BE ARMED IS YOUR RIGHT UNDER THE CONSTITUTION I WAS IN THE MILITARY AND THANK GOD I NEVER WAS IN BAD HARM LOAFS BUT I WORE THE UNIFORM WITH PRIDE UNTIL MY DEPARTURE AND THAT DOESNT GIVE POLICE THE RIGHT TO HARRASS,DISRESPECT AND KILL AT WILL PERIOD. THEYRE THERE TO PROTECT AND SERVE NOT TORTURE AND KILL BUT THATS WHY I SAY THE SCREENING PROCESS FOR THAT JOB MUST BE BETTER THAN NOW AS WELL AS THE PSYCH EVALUATION PROCESS
So I will ask the elephant in the room question. Who is held accountable for the procedural practices that the investigation has revealed are criminal and violations of the black citizens and against people with behavioral health disabilities of Louisville's civil rights by the Louisville Police for abuse of power and discrimination? Because the conclusion of this "scathing report" only indicates that the DOJ also announced the establishment of a consent decree with Louisville police and an independent monitor who will oversee police reforms. This is a beginning but is hardly full accountability. It amount to getting away with it. In Breonna Taylor's case they settled for a large settlement for wrongful death, but who is being fired, charged and being held responsible for the procedural systemic police brutality of the Louisville Police Department? I'll wait...No actually I will NOT wait because the answer is NOBODY! Until there are individuals criminally charged with substantial consequences this is just a big oooohhhh! And that where I call out BULLSHIT!
This pat on the back bull must stop. We know if it was other people 's children we would be hunted like animals and wrong people would be killed. We have begged you to stop killing us for years, instead you militarize the Cops more. What is it you want from us. We follow laws, even if we know they are wrong and target us. When you pull us over for nothing, first thing you do is lock our hands and puch us. What do you want from us. You're all in our neighborhoods waiting for something to happen. Report after report done on police departments and nothing happens. None are fired always an internal investigation and still nothing happens. Remove qualified immunity and make pay for violating us. And watch what happens. As long as they keep getting away with violating us with our punishment, Nothing will happen. We need to see results.
Who actually appoints the 'independent monitor' who oversees the police reform? And HOW would such an important judiciary position ensure that any off the record conduct would comply with the new regulations? One cam 'oversee' a legal process, one can oversee incident reports and records , documents, review hours of body cam footage, and like any investigator, arrive at a recommendation. But what the hell difference would it make if it is STILL implemented and managed by the same Police Dept, who will be 'over-seeing' the over-seer and probably making deals before signing any 'consent decree' ??
This is an example of why the Federal government is important, because if everything was handled at the state level, a.k.a. states rights, this investigation would not have happened, and the powers that be at the state level will continue these patterns and practices.
I am so angry about the way police operate and go unpunished. I also hate that when we sue the police the law suits are paid out of our taxes. The whole system sucks and it has to stop.
Since police departments run largely on local and or state property tax dollars, where else would it find any money for civil suit settlements? Also, even if individual officers could be sued, they have never made enough money on the job (which is naturally public funded) to even begin to be able to pay out multimillion dollar settlements.
Don’t make excuses for them by saying their trained to behave that way. They are completely grown adult men they was raised to believe what they believe and they act accordingly. Whom ever hired them are responsible for that but they are responsible for their actions.
God Be the Glory. Some people can learn by hearing. Others can learn by seeing. White people, police officers, choose to deflect and ignore to avoid truth. Sadly, God intervention is needed and I pray he uses the Same measures pattern they exhibit on Black people Be used on them. There is a time coming many will hate them selves because they don't know how to do good. Law and order will be broken and let God be the Glory for what ever we need and want.
Breonna Taylor would be alive today... Had her boyfriend NOT shot at the Police , while USING her as a Shield. BTW, they never explaind why she had a dead body in her rental car... Which wasd WHY she was FIRED from her EMT Job.
Well this didn’t start with garland. This has been a problem since white people were allowed to force free black people into slavery. The federal government has always done as little as possible to protect us.
Qualified immunity =unconstitutional policing .but alas the current norm across USA , even FBI , ATF is doing unconstitutional policing. But who going to hold then accountable, not Congress, not Senators , not Supreme court , not the president.
These findings should be of no surprise to anyone who lives across the country. It's great that they publicly acknowledge these investigative findings ... but the real trick is, to see if anything will actually be done about it. I mean, for decades, we had investigations and acknowledgement, one after another ... which is telling us what we already know, by them just confirming it, but action to stop any of this has been slow to none. I'm 67 years old, and seen this going on for decades, and it's as bad, if not worse, than the 1960s, today 🟪
Took them 3 years? Why is there a lame D. O. J. TAKING THIS LONG? This has been going for years. No arrests for any politicians! He better start doing a better job. From one american citizen.
This is the systems purpose and they operate with full intent. You can't train an organization to act outside of its mission. I wonder how much money was spent proving what was already known. How many times do you have to study something before you learn from it? A solution was never the goal. They keep the public to keep chasing its tail. This wasn't vindication.
How can you sue someone when you entered their home without allowing them to know...innocent that's just way of getting back whoever attorney butthole this man was defending himself how can someone sue you for defending yourself black attorneys get on it
Change starts with voting! Until citizens start electing Legislators who will vote to Abolish their Qualified Immunity bs, nothing is going to change in Policing.
@@Iconolaste Country’s like Singapore have a voting rate of 95%. The US voting rate is only 62% in a general election. It’s even worse during the midterms where after the gerrymandering takes place. So don’t say that we vote in the US. 62% isn’t a passing grade on any exam.
Sadiqa Reynolds has the clearest vision of what’s wrong and needs correcting! I would love to see her head a national task force to do just that! I don’t know the young lady frankly I had not heard her speak prior to this! Thank you for the work you do Sadiqa.
I know the overall solution: get rid of Qualified Immunity and actually punish rogue officers. If they know that there are actual consequences for their egregious actions, then they'll think twice. So just what are they planning to do about the findings in this "report.". Kristen Clarke has a lot of nerve to even open her mouth after trying to get the killers of Amaud Artery plea deals behind his family's back.
BIDEN is the president he can over step those Republicans who does not want qualified lmmunity until this happens nothing will change. When trump was in office he did whatever he wanted so what is wrong BIden ??? He needs to do his job
It's been since the 80's when I was a kid you count they killed my cousin with his pregnant girlfriend in broad daylight with his mother having a gathering in front of her house the whole neighborhood kids and everyone else seen it it literally ruined us we were to young to see that there going down were not talking about other police department they said Louisville ky get out and March like they did
Every Policing Dept. In the US should be required to have US Dept. Of Justice Certification to operate and every policing person in America should be required to be DOJ certified to work as well. Violate certification temporary or permanent suspension And any policing Dept.s That are found in gross violation of certification should be taken over by US military and forced to re-organize and re- hire and reform. Only then can the US guarantee public safety and rights of the US Citizenry.
What’s taken so long to investigate this matter and the entire nation’s police and political criminals? This is not new news. The history of this treatment has deep roots in the making of America. The lynchings of Black people(s) used to be worthy of dressing in Sunday’s best. Gathering the family, including the children all to watch the lynchings. Same people, same lineage. Same psychopathology. Same entertainment obviously, now televised, watched by the world from the comfort of the viewers home.
Correction on one of the things the mother said. This is not just this police department on how they do policing. It’s a common practice of targeting certain individuals which eliminates POC and false statistics of showing POC appearing to be more aggressive, dangerous, and committing multiple acts of negativity to falsely put people in a bad light to have other people fear them. If we see a certain pattern in the department then obviously it’s the person hiring people who has bad intentions. This isn’t a bad Apple situation but how they do business and not only should cops lose their jobs but Also get convicted of their crimes and when these bad crimes happen police should be held accountable to have them think 3 times before doing wrong. And the shameful part is that the cops have cameras and yet they still commit crimes against people pretending the people are resisting. They need to look through the footage everyday and not take a year to figure out the obvious.
Uofl student here, it's wild to see the difference between our campus police and LMPD. A literal night and day difference between policing practices. campus police never interfere with incidents where they're not directly aware or called for, LMPD tries to disrupt and prosecute whenever possible. I might just have that young fire in me, but I don't see a way for the department to change unless DOJ directly steps in. Thank you Attorney general Merrick Garland
The part of your show where you cover the City of Louisville's response in equal time to Garland's report is missing, you do want to be fair and balanced and not just give one side of the story or do you?
