I agree. I think, unfortunately and terribly, that certain people are either too far gone, or never “there” To begin with.

If you look at it like a disability it would be like sending someone that blind to jail, and hoping they can see when they get out

Ugh. I hope she never gets out. I know there's some small chance she could be rehabilitated, but it seems so unlikely. More likely is she does the same to children down the line.

I really hope she finds the right psychiatric care to be able to at least get some semblance of a life in a hospital..but god damned I don't think there's much of a chance at her living free and not catastrophically damaging others' lives.

Next investigate Euclid.

If you think police unions are dreadful, just wait until you try and get a payout from a police insurance company!

Insurance is such an American solution to this problem. How about

• better hiring and training.
• mandatory bodycams subject to random checks as well as use as evidence.
• National register of officers and their records
• No ability to duck investigations by resigning and moving elsewhere.
• Payouts come directly from the police budget.

its that or he was an idiot and didnt know any better

Ironic that the police union is demanding just treatment and due process for their officers when their officers refused to do the same for others. They should be treated the way they treated others.

In reality, it's the opposite. Cops get lesser punishments.

No surprises there. This war is going to go on and on until the supply of Iranian weapons is stopped.

The Houthi movement is basically under the total control of the Iranian government by this point- they don’t care how many Yemenis they have to conscript and send to their deaths. Whenever war weary Yemenis have wanted to find a peaceful solution to the conflict rather than an eternal war on behalf of Iran, the Iranians controlling the Houthi organization have usually had them liquidated in internal purges.

These people are sacrificial pawns to Iran, a human resource to be exploited for its holy war against everyone who is an obstacle to the Ayatollah’s delusions of Iranian greatness. Iran is perfectly happy to send every single Yemeni their press gangs can catch to their deaths against Saudi trenches as long as it can take pictures of the dead to produce propaganda against “Saudi brutality”.

To be fair. He could be from Texas and still be found hundreds of miles away in Texas.

It seems to me they protest a lot in France. Earlier this year there was a garbage collectors' strike, now this. And it's only March.

We are more aware AND things changed too. We do not tolerate the abuse anymore like we did 40 years ago.

Also, global news. Before interet, news was way more local. Most news were from the city, some from the state and few from the country. International news were almost non-existant. So only the big things came out. A bad officer was not a big thing.

Now, with internet, you know about everything all around the world, in a matter of seconds!

Now we start to see some patterns. One bad officer here, another there, yet another, oh and 5 here, 6 there and so on. Now it is not a single officer in your news area, but lots of international ones. Now it's a big things.

And, also, 9/11. News on TV got a longer segment. Pre-9/11 it was 30 minutes here. Now it's 1 hour. They now have time for the less big things that happened everywhere. In fact, they have no choice in some way than talk about it, they need to fill the time they have or else they just repeat themself! Remember, most of the year there is not even enough local material to fill 15 minutes of news. Now they have to do 60!

In France workers are entitled to far more vacation days than in the US (over one month each year), longer maternity/paternity leave, and they work 4 days a week. Also, their pensions are guaranteed by the government, at a generous annual increase rate.

It's never over. If there aren't more doing it, somebody else will step in and take his place.

Their pensions are guaranteed by the government, and they have a steady increasing rate, not like in the US where you can work a lifetime and lose your savings to bankrupt companies.

Besides, in France there are many social programs fpr seniors, such as paying a fraction of property tax after a certain age, and paying little to nothing on public transportation.

He was also bleeding from the head - the officer himself said it and you can clearly see it as well. TBI at the least, maybe even a spinal injury and yet they’re jostling him about. Attempted murder.

Wow so your union rep was doing some union lines lol doesn't surprise me

Playing the devil's advocate here: the French only work 4 days/week, enjoy 4-6 weeks vacation/year, and with the huge immigration from Asia+Africa+South America pouring in, the government can't maintain the same benefits (including pensions) that the French enjoyed in the past.
