Cop Watch

I made $10k more this year but my effective tax rate dropped 1.5%. Refund was low due to more in the check. Pretty much a win.

My attitude has always been that the man has a badge and a gun, WTF am I going to argue or fight about?

If they have six minutes of him on video tape getting jerked off he ain't beating the charges, send it up to the replay booth

I think this should be his line in court: "What he does in his private life is between himself and God and the mamasan that jerked him off."

What a load of horseshit below  

 

A badge and a gun scares you? I laugh in their face every time. I'll take a ticket everytime; fuck that yes sir/no sir noise.

Lol at this thread. Your all financing this economy and your descendants will be in deep shit paying it back.

Conservaribes are OK these days with kicking the can down the road.

All you Boomers are the ones who have destroyed the future for our younger generations. And Obama kicked the can 10,000,000,000,000 times.

I see the OP negates to mention it was Bill Clinton who refused to bring the ICC treaty to the Senate, and advised future administrations do likewise. Rome Statute.

Yes....I care when privileged elites get treated with preference by the justice system....dumb motherfucker

Bullshit......he got no conviction , nothing on his record etc etc. He should have plead guilty and then been offered the same deal a regular Joe would have got

As I said, regular Joe's get this deal often. You're barking up the wrong tree on this one.

Basically on probation, with the option to prosecute if you break probation.

Seen it in court many, many times. As stated, usually first offenders.

Another 9th circuit decision shot down.

Wtf

Just another pig.

Need to be brought to heel.

In other words, there is a profound racial disparity between the group sent to prison and California as a whole: the sort of disparity Harris's ideological peers routinely decry as racist.

In her ongoing campaign for the Democratic nomination in 2020, Harris has cast herself as a progressive on issues of racial justice and equity. She has claimed to have worked to reduce racial disparities in the criminal justice system, labeled president Donald Trump a racist, and even publicly supported reparations for slavery.

But the left wing of the Democratic Party has had little patience for these gestures, attacking Harris for her record as a tough-on-crime prosecutor when she was state attorney general. This view is not helped by recent flip-flops, including Harris's opportunistic-seeming reversals on legalizing prostitution and marijuana.

The enormous number of Californians sent to state prisons while Harris was attorney general—many of whom were prosecuted by either her office or the office of an inferior state attorney who reported to her—indicates that the senator's racial-progressive veneer may be as thin as her critics argue.

To determine the figures reported above, the Washington Free Beacon counted the total number of new admissions (as opposed to returning parole violators) to the CDCR-administered penitentiary system between 2011 and 2016. These data were obtained from the now-discontinued "Characteristics of New Admissions" report series, as well as a request to the CDCR itself.

Previous analysis based on the same data by the Washington Free Beacon found that Harris—now a supporter of marijuana legalization—sent at least 1,500 Californians to prison for marijuana-related offenses. The racial composition of this group was not available.

The race figures above almost certainly undercount the total number of offenders sent to prison on Harris's watch. In 2011, following a federal court's finding that California's prisons were dangerously overcrowded, the state implemented "Public Safety Realignment," a program which filtered "low-level" offenders into county jails.

The number and race of individuals who would have been incarcerated at the state level, but were instead routed to jails, was not available from CDCR. It is therefore not clear how these added figures would impact the racial make-up of those sent to prison under Harris.

Harris's campaign did not return a request for comment.

https://freebeacon.com/politics/more-than-120000-californians-of-color-sent-to-prison-on-harriss-watch/

While serving as California's top cop, Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) oversaw the incarceration of at least 127,000 Black and Hispanic Californians, data obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.

These data, based on reports from and a request to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), almost certainly undercount the total number of individuals who were sent to prison while Harris served as state attorney general. Still, they reveal that at least 44,172 black offenders and 83,370 Hispanic offenders were newly admitted to California's prisons between 2011 and 2016, compared to 48,761 whites and 11,182 "other"-identified individuals.

Percentage-wise, these figures translate into 23.6 percent of new incarcerees being black and 44.5 percent being Hispanic. By way of comparison, as of July 2018, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that 39.1 percent of Californians were Hispanic/Latino and just 6.5 percent were black or African American.

All the more reason to like her

This is a guy who drove completely drunk, almost killed someone by driving on the wrong side of the highway, and then engaged in felony flight from police when they tried to arrest him.

Did that have to be covered up until he'd had his shot at Ted Cruz, too?

I like to think of running for public office as a kind of college admissions process, with all Democrats subscribing to a cheater "side-door" service called the United States leftwing media, filled with false claims about accomplishments that were never accomplished and even photoshops.

"One day, as I was driving home from work, I noticed two children crossing the street. They were happy, happy to be free from their troubles…. This happiness was mine by right. I had earned it in my dreams.

"As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two. I was so fascinated for a moment, that when after I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head."

Remember Harris using a religious litmus test on court judges?

Now do a Muslim candidate.

If you are scumbag enough to march under the Nazi flag in my country be prepared to be treated like the scumbag you are, it is sad that a woman was killed, it is glorious that the cowardly pos that ran her down is in jail.

Sometimes things are worth fighting for, like fighting against assholes like Nazi's. Sorry if that offends snowflakes like you.

How do you feel about flag burning, since flags are so provocative?

I would guess that McCain was sour over the fact that the country he served for years elected a loudmouth jackass with a list of bad character traits that nobody would wish on their own children.

 

Someone who so ineffectively read the electorate shouldn't have been running to start with.

Most actual conservatives know he went insane his last month of service. I bet his wife was calling all the shots.

Simply putting the definition out there for those like me who didn't know what 20% was.

Not one person I know in the top 20% would I call privileged.   They all work very hard to be or get where they are.  Bet you are in the top 20%. . Are you privileged?

One half, 49.98%, of all income in the US was earned by households with an income over $100,000, the top twenty percent. Over one quarter, 28.5%, of all income was earned by the top 8%, those households earning more than $150,000 a year. The top 3.65%, with incomes over $200,000, earned 17.5%.

Obvious the pushers of the dossier needed a patsy, and the McCain office fit the bill.

Unvetted CNN 'tips' made it into FISA reports. We can't thank the McCain office enough.

He was pressed on this further: "Do you understand that CNN iReports are or were nothing more than any random individuals' assertions on the Internet?"  Steele replied: "No, I obviously presume that if it is on a CNN site that it may has [sic] some kind of CNN status.  Albeit that it may be an independent person posting on the site."

When asked about his methodology for searching for this information, Steele described it as "what we could call an open source search," which he defined as "where you go into the Internet and you access material that is available on the Internet that is of relevance or reference to the issue at hand or the person under consideration."

Steele said his dossier contained "raw intelligence" that he admitted could contain untrue or even "deliberately false information."
