I guess cops have better lawyers on their side than ham sandwiches in these grand juries.  Some of these lawyers probably even have titles like ADA.

I can hear the protesters from my office (and I'm on the 14th floor). Chants of "fight back!" Unlike Mono, I'm torn as I sympathize with them but wish they would protest...somewhere else. :D -_-

The Cleveland officer's background as a suburban cop. It seems very Pryzbylewski:

I simply don't understand why he was ever, ever hired by Cleveland PD after that.

When I did background investigations for applicants, and we found shit like that in someone's jacket with their former agency, that was it.  Application terminated. 

QuoteCleveland officials drove to Independence to gather information about hiring the officer who eventually shot Tamir Rice but never looked at his personnel file.

I'm just trying to get home quickly after a long day in the office / I'm trying to leave for London so don't try and get me caught up in such mess, kthxbye! -_-

So, was the cop guilty or not?
I mean your opinion,  of course.

Any idea if those were "had 25 kg of cocaine" or "was smoking a joint on his porch" convictions?

A joint on your porch doesn't get you a felony.

Even for Black people in Missouri?

Typically no.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

His handgun performance seemed adequate based on what I saw.

QuoteA Nov. 29, 2012 letter contained in Tim Loehmann's personnel file from the Independence Police Department says that during firearms qualification training he was "distracted" and "weepy."


WEEPY...WEEPY WTF IS THAT. DID HE START SQUIRTING TEARS ON THE RANGE. :lol:

Seedy ran a no-bullshit operation.  He was known as tough, but fair.

Apparently, yes.  That he wanted in to "see more action" should have raised some flags.

What?  That's nuts.

Apparently I did more to screen job applicants for sales clerk positions than they did for a cop.
