• When the cop is black and the victim is white

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 10 16:37:38 2023
    New York City has reportedly settled a lawsuit filed by a homeless man who filed a federal lawsuit after being beaten by a police officer on the subway. Taxpayers will be paying the victim $135,000 for the assault while the offending officer will see no
    punishment.

    Also...The Manhattan District Attorney’s office dropped the assault charges against Joseph
    (bodycam footage of the incident didn't support the cops allegation of assault)

    The lawyer said, "“This settlement speaks volumes for why some cops continue to lie and brutalize,” the attorney said. “By paying for Adonis Long’s misconduct without demanding any contribution, the city is effectively endorsing his behavior.”

    If they're going to pay the claim, why wouldn't they at least fire the cop?

    They settled the claim. didn't want to go to court
    That says very little about the policing by the cop in this case
    That is a separate issue.

    What does your subject line have to do with this? Why wouldn't a black
    cop get the same police union and qualified immunity protections as any
    other cop?

    in one case the media and leftist BLMish outrage is a tsunami.
    In the other, crickets chirping drown the outrage.
    I'll let you decide which is which.

    There were plenty of protests against police violence after July, 2020,
    when the incident happened. Maybe you remember?

    Since police kill about a thousand people every year, maybe BLM
    preferred to focus on, you know, Black lives. In the real world, the
    victim got a payout and the cop got a demerit on his record.

    An Austin incident in the same time frame led to a recent settlement for
    much worse injuries than those suffered by your victim.

    individual instance.

    Your own link says they were protesting over George Floyd. No mention of the black cop beating on homeless white boy.

    What was your educated technical term for throwing up some BS?
    Your hypocrisy is getting as bad as Joe's stupid excuse for claiming his garage was secure...cuz his beloved black stingray lives there.

    Your own link says they were protesting over George Floyd. No mention of the black cop beating on homeless white boy.

    Protests were against police violence, inspired by George Floyd's
    killing. You're not saying they were protesting George Floyd himself or
    the non-violent actions against him? Or that they were only protesting
    about Floyd?

    What was your educated technical term for throwing up some BS?
    Your hypocrisy is getting as bad as Joe's stupid excuse for claiming his garage was secure...cuz his beloved black stingray lives there.

    My claim was of "plenty of protests against police violence" so you're
    on the wrong foot there. Since you're only talking about this one case,
    police beatings get less publicity than police killings in general and
    this one was well-publicized with multiple stories in the NY Post,
    dailydot, and local NYC tv.
