Protestors new tactics - demand the resignation if you charge a black person

[Saltwater60]

I find this along with the rest of their dangerous little game scary as hell. The issue is will these people ever get convicted now in a jury trial? Calling for the resignation of a DA for charging a person correctly is very frightening.

Protesters send message to Erie County DA, write 'resign' outside county court building

Protesters marched Tuesday night from Genesee Street to Niagara Square.

This is what appeasement does.

It is also the direct result and entirely predictable of not holding black people to the same standards as whites. We are now 20+ years of racial double standards.

Give an inch, people take a mile.

we must demand equality and that means equal treatment and equal standards.

How do people manage to deface public property and not get busted for it? This had to have taken a while to do.

You know the answer. Stand down let them do it. Don’t arrest them because we will look like assholes and inflame them. Don’t do your jobs.
I was just talking with a friend of mine who’s now a lieutenant and going through supervisor training. He was just told it doesn’t matter anymore if you follow your training or department guidelines the DA will still charge you. This is even more of a travesty. Hey we told you to act this way and the people don’t like the outcome so you’re under arrest.

"Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown announced Monday afternoon the formation of a new behavioral health team with the Buffalo Police Department in partnership with Endeavor Health Services.

"The team will be comprised of six police officers, two lieutenants, three clinicians and the clinicians' program supervisor," he said.
Added Sarah Bonk, the program manager for Police Behavioral Health Response Teams at Endeavor Health Services: "We want to make sure that we have every opportunity to help de-escalate a situation," "

Hey that’s a start. Now why don’t we just give into the rest of their demands. When will this end. If we keep giving them crumbs this will keep going on. Is that the plan?

Word of note- there is no plan.

I actually think that's a good idea.
A clinician and a cop as a response to a mental health incident.
HOWEVER, there will still be times that the individual having the incident is going to decide that the only option is force.
I only get one out of the two votes on how much force is used.

Method to never have a negative interaction with police:

1. Don't commit crime. This is the biggest one.
2. Don't talk to the police for any reason.

As to #2 the police may want to talk to you within reason even if you did #1. Example. You didn't do anything but you fit the description of the low-life.

Never talk to police. Ask if you are free to go. If they say yes, leave. If they say no immediately invoke your 5th to remain silent and 6th to have a lawyer present during any questioning. Then shut up, the only thing out of your mouth should be demanding your 5 and 6 rights as above. Because of Salinas vs Texas you need to explicitly invoke these rights for some BS reasons (you don't need to invoke the 1st before you say something controversial... This is probably for another topic though). You can't say anything to the police that will help you even if you are innocent, that type of thing is 100% of the time dismissed as heresay.
