What goes through my my mind when I read the news with my morning coffee. …Or for the Simon's Rockers in the group, this is my response journal.

What a sweet story!
Fiancee: Man shot dead by cop was running away at the time
Jeezus Kerrreyest… The trooper involved should have known better. Disrespecting an officer of the law or not following an order from a an officer of the law is not cause for cold blooded murder.
The officers needs to lose their badge – both immediately and permanently – and serve time for murder one. If the citizenry id not given the benefit of the doubt in life or death events like these, then the officers of law do not deserve anything other than the cold, unforgiving justice that they seem to think they are entitled to mete out.
Police kill a man at his home while responding to a fake call – CNN
CNN describes this incidents as if it is a gaming prank gone wrong. It is not. It is yet another example of police incompetence and murder without cause.
All of the officers involved showed such poor judgement that they pose a clear and present danger to the citizens they are sworn to protect. All of them should lose their badges – immediately- and face charges for the home invasion, the murders, and the reckless damage that they caused.
There is no excuse for officers of the law acting without regard to the safety of the citizenry. They are paid to act after they have established the facts, not shoot people whenever they feel like it. If they can not exercise good, logical, sound judgment while performing their duties they should not be in the uniform in the first place.
In addition to the criminal charge that everyone involved should face, I hope the entire department and each individual officer involved is sued into bankruptcy.
FBI Affidavit Details Ex-Sheriff David Clarke’s Intimidation Of Fellow Passenger | HuffPost
This is why we can’t have nice things.
…And a glaring example of the lawlessness and bullying that so typifies American law enforcement in this day an age. The former Sheriff and the officers involved should be in jail for illegally detaining this man, harassment and intimidation.
If officers of the law do not face severe consequences for flaunting the law they will continue to murder, harass, and intimidate the citizenry like the thugs that so many of them so clearly are.
The council, which still had 16 members, was completely dismissed with a letter sent through FedEx on Wednesday, the Washington Blade first reported.
“Current members of Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) received a letter informing them that the Administration was terminating their appointments” on Dec. 27, 2017, Hayes told HuffPost in a statement sent via email.
“Many of us, our terms were over earlier this year and we were sworn back in, and three were stayed on nearly four months after an executive order was signed continuing the council,” [a former council member] said.
…Six members of the council had earlier resigned in June due to “a president who simply does not care,” according to one member in a Newsweek op-ed entitled “Trump doesn’t care about HIV. We’re outta here.”

More erratic incompetence from the Cheeto.
Tyler Haire was locked up at 16. A Mississippi judge ordered that he undergo a mental exam. What happened next is a statewide scandal.
…During his childhood, Tyler had been found to be suffering from seven different mental disorders, the first diagnosis coming when he was just four years old; he had threatened to bomb his school; he had chased his two siblings with a knife trying to stab them; his family suspected that he’d strangled a cat to death with his bare hands; he’d been hospitalized on several occasions and later placed in a home for troubled boys.
The local prosecutor joined the defense lawyer’s request for an evaluation, and Judge John A. Gregory immediately signed an order to have Tyler assessed at the state hospital in Whitfield to determine if Tyler had a factual and rational understanding of the legal proceeding against him, as well as whether, at the time of the non-fatal assault, he knew the “difference between right and wrong.”
“It is therefore ordered and adjudged,” Gregory wrote on April 23, 2013, “that the defendant Tyler Douglas Haire be given a mental evaluation at the earliest possible date.”
Tyler’s evaluation would not happen for three and a half years.
During the 1,266 days Tyler spent in the Calhoun County jail before he received his evaluation, he was never once visited by a psychiatrist. He went without any of the multiple drugs he had taken as a boy. He received no educational instruction.
‘What Are We Going to Do About Tyler?’
sigh…
