We’re the Only Ones Monstrous Enough

Authorities said Bryant lived near the area where Morales was reported missing and alleged that he “dumped her naked body in the woods,” WAGA and WXIA reported, citing a warrant application. The warrant also said the ex-officer is suspected of rape, murder and other felonies, though he hasn’t been charged with those crimes, WXIA reported. [More]

We’re the Only Ones Unseeing and Falsifying Enough

Lawyers are set to discuss the federal case against a former Kentucky police officer who fired blindly into Breonna Taylor’s apartment on the night of the deadly raid that left her dead… Hankison was indicted by the U.S. Justice Department last year along with three other officers, one of whom has pleaded guilty to helping falsify the warrant used to enter Taylor’s apartment… [More]

So will the State Bureau of Investigation and the DA aggressively pursue this, and if not, why not?

We’re the Only Ones Unfollowing Enough

Capser alleges that police knew the exact whereabouts of the stolen BMW Brownlee was driving near Soldier Field and began following him just an hour before he shot Dakotah. Because of a non-pursuit policy in place, responding officers had to call off their pursuit of Brownlee and file an eluding report, lawyers say. [More]

Because if you disproportionately stop criminals they won’t be able to disproportionately amass victims, right?

We’re the Only Ones Idealess Enough

And the rifle, the weapon that was used, the murder weapon … it was so unusual that the investigators when they were looking into it, and the investigators are all, you know, very familiar with firearms, right, knew all the guns, but when they were looking at this gun, they were like “I have no idea how this is loaded,” the investigators had to watch YouTube videos… [Watch]

So they turn to the “gun community” for help…?
