An incompetent pinjob

French style revolution is the only solution

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Agreed comrade! Pm me and we will begin the organization of said revolution

Would have been unbelievable if the US police wouldn’t have a long history of framing people because they are just too buttfuck stupid to do their jobs.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 54 minutes ago

That is their job.

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 21 points 22 hours ago

Wow. That is just unbelievably sketch.

I have worked in private security and law enforcement. I have searched people and their bags at security checkpoints to enter government buildings after 9-11. I've strip searched males in lockup. There is no way a trained cop or even an experienced security guard would miss something bigger than a tube of lipstick in a backpack. Nothing found in the backpack at Micky Ds and then found a handgun after taking it inside of a police station? Sounds to me like the gun was driven to the police station separately to be planted in the bag. A 3D printed gun could be made by anyone, including the cops. #ACAB

They have her admitting on another cop’s body cam that she did a warrantless search. I don’t think she missed anything, I think they just NEED her to have missed it for the prosecution.

But why make a hero and a martyr? Are they stupid?

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Vs. What?

Letting the world know that you can walk up to someone in the middle of the day and shoot them and get away with it?

We all know CSI shows are over exaggerated, but they give us a feeling of protection

Without a motive or a link to follow. A random gunman is next to impossible to find after they get away.

This way they don't have to make the charges stick but "they caught" the gunman.

Security theater is important

Luigi is innocent. He did not kill Brian Thompson. He is a hero by the simple virtue that he is an innocent young man who was dragged through hell over something he didn't do and is having his life put on the line.

As for who actually did it. I hope he lives a long, quiet life.

[–] caboose2006@lemm.ee 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Of course Luigi didn't do it. He was flying with me to New Orleans from Nashville at the time of the murder. We got beignets at The Vintage then took a ghost tour of the french quarter.

And right after that he went to my place thousands of miles away and we played classic Sierra games together. Given he is much younger than me he didn't quite understand late 80s and early-mid 90s gaming that much at first. But my god was he such a good listener! He listened to all my middle age man explanations and how revolutionary all that stuff was at the time with full understanding. He even figured out the Gold Rush door puzzle from the get go! The guy is brilliant! And so very nice, too.

I still hope this is correct and the real guy starts act 2 during Luigi's trial. Also it's be cool if the next three shells read "super Mario brothers" lmao

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago

We need some chubby copycat so they can be Mario.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 17 points 23 hours ago

It's never made sense to me, TBH. I've just assumed he's being railroaded. In his case the cops just planted a gun instead of drugs like they do to every other person they want to lock up without cause.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It seems more and more everyday that vigilante justice is the only justice against this corrupt corporate tyranny. I think we all wish this wasn’t the case but as my dad used to say you can wish in one hand and 💩 in the other and see what hand fills up first

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When I picked up bodies for the Medical Examiner's Office, we had very strict chain of custody rules we had to follow. If the decedent had any valuables on their person (purse, wallet, jewelry, etc), or any medication, we had to write detailed descriptions of every item found (a gold ring is not a gold ring, it's a gold colored ring), then package it all up with the ranking police officer on the scene as a witness who then signs the sealed bag. Even the slightest deviation from this would get us immediately fired, and even prosecuted if surviving family members made any accusations about theft.

In a capital murder case where an alleged murderer/terrorist can potentially walk free because the chain of custody rules weren't followed, how the fuck does this cop still have a job? How is she not being charged with tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice?

Don't get me wrong, I am all for letting Luigi go free, but this is a fuck-up of monumental proportions.

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why would she be fired for doing what she was told? The fact she wasn’t fired tells you everything you need to know

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 6 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I don't disagree, but that means the fuck-up goes higher up the food chain. The NYPD has to know this makes a conviction that much more difficult.

[–] Recent@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

The reality is that they are not above ignoring the law to lock away someone who dared strike against the Oligarchy. Mangione will be convicted no matter how many times they have to put him on trial, even if he is innocent.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I think pigs got a call from the top to get this shit done...

This is the best they could muster up it seems, which is rather pathetic. They must have known this will scrutinized but they still could not follow the law.

So they not only have to find 12 people who haven’t been fucked personally or had friends family fucked by their health insurance, now those 12 people have to be blind Pig supporters?

Anything other than a not guilty (or some insanely strong evidence with a perfect chain of custody) verdict for this guy and the fix is in.

If they convict Luigi get the fuck out while you still can, cause the alternative is guerilla warfare against the Gilead states of orange stupidity.

Plot twist: good guy policewoman deliberately makes it impossible to prosecute Luigi.
