Another officer backed him up? I hope he gets charged, too. That's unconscionable.
Seriously.
I mean how hard to throw away the sandwich AT CAMP?!?! dumbass.
not that he should be throwing away food.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I can't help but think that the police wants there to be a riot, and is helping to incite one.
That does appear to be the pattern with these things. Good on the prosecutor though.

If he's being so obvious about it, maybe he wanted you to find them?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What I don't understand is when police became so paranoid. They didn't used to be, I swear.
Right? It's like anyone not in uniform (but especially POC) is viewed as a potential enemy combatant. I feel like current training methods are instilling fear instead of training them to control their fear in tense situations so they can make reasonable decisions.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That is something they have been actively working on in Richmond, CA which used to have terrible relations between police and residents and is so much better now. I don't know if the coverage of the "Richmond miracle" have been nation-wide, but I've heard a lot about it here. There are proven methods of improvement, if cities/police forces will, well, admit they need to improve. And do the work.
When I looked at that shot-by-cops map, Richmond had 0.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Stopping military gear manufacturers from *giving* body armor and artillery to civic police departments (in order to keep their production levels up for tax reasons) would also help. If you don't have tanks and body armor, you're not going to be so eager to provoke or escalate circumstances where you can use them. Conversely, having them on hand sort of makes it inevitable you'll egg a situation on so that you will have a chance to use the new toys. Because wow, video game, and tough macho!

Yeah, those pictures of 60s protests vs. recent ones were most notable to me for the gear of the cops now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If he's being so obvious about it, maybe he wanted you to find them?
This is my thought. Maybe subconsciously, but still.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

See also the decision to announce the non-indictment in Ferguson until sundown.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I wonder if things with prosecutor would have gone down like this if he was a city police officer and not a university police officer.
