Louisville police discriminate against Black people, US Justice Dept says

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Well it seems ray ray forgot to mention something else:

Louisville Metro Police Chief Erika Shields to resign as new Mayor Greenberg takes office

Louisville Mayor-elect Craig Greenberg, who takes office Jan. 2, said Erika Shields offered to resign as police chief over the weekend.

www.courier-journal.com

The police chief that oversaw this was a woman.

And openly gay. And described as a 'progressive' leader, so we can guess she's also a dem.

Huh.

 

[NavigatorII]

The democratic mayor. According to you and the DOJ, blacks are being discriminated against in a city run by a democratic mayor.

You forgot to mention that.

During his sabbatical (after Hakeem Jeffries was elected speaker), he completely missed out when 5 racists black cops killed Tyree Nichols. How do we know? Joy Reid told us so.

 

[EvilWayz]

Still snickering about Lil Dickey calling you a white supremacist. 😂

Sounds like the "Lightfoot Beetlejuice Syndrome".

 

[FresnoGator]

Yes...I do.

Whites have more "contact" with law enforcement by far than blacks or latinos but FAR LESS frequently are arrested or threatened with police violence

DOJ report
Contacts Between Police and the Public, 2015

I don't doubt it, just wanted to see any #s related to L'ville, since they are the ones being impugned here ...

 

[NavigatorII]

Yes...I do.

Whites have more "contact" with law enforcement by far than blacks or latinos but FAR LESS frequently are arrested or threatened with police violence

Could it be there are "far more whites" than anyone else in our population? And maybe, just maybe most of these encounters don't involve murder and armed robbery? It's not often that police feel threatened when issuing a traffic citation.

 

[RayGravesGhost]

Last part does not surprise me - at all. Welcome to what happens with decades of illegal immigration. Of course they start to infiltrate the police department and start to turn LA into Columbia where thousands are leaving because they cannot trust their own country to keep them safe.

The gangs they're referring to aren't foreign immigrants...they're US citizens

They're existence goes back to the 1950's in Los Angeles and have discriminated against people of color long before the immigration stuff you're talking about

I guess the term "gangs" made you assume it was Latinos?

Origins of LASD Gangs​

The LA County Sheriff’s Department has prowled the streets of the Southland since the mid-1800s. The Department’s own internal history paints the period as one “so chaotic that lawlessness was the rule, rather than the exception.” While the department lacked a training facility or even uniforms for much of its early history, that didn’t stop it from expanding its operations throughout the County.

Peter Pitchess, the 28th Sheriff of LA County, oversaw a new wave of aggressive expansion and modernization following his election in 1958. He introduced policies that drove disproportionate violence towards Black and Latinx communities, and whose legacies persist today: billy clubs, helicopters, freeway pursuits, and the County’s first SWAT team. The freshly armed forces were on full display on August 29, 1970, a day that haunted Pitchess for the rest of his career: the Chicano Moratorium.

I don't doubt it, just wanted to see any #s related to L'ville, since they are the ones being impugned here ...

Consent decrees are ENTERED into by both the DOJ & its officials....The Louisville data will be released from the investigation that was performed and the final report.

I'm pretty sure that happened in the case of Ferguson.

Marijuana usage is the same percentage wise amongst blacks & whites...arrests are not

I wonder if you realize that defeats your argument of there being more whites in the population

That's why were using percentages dumb dumb to eliminate your point

Does being a lying apologist for the culprits EVER get old? Don't do the crime, don't do the time. You are doing a huge disservice by being an enabler. Fortunately most black folks are sick of it too.

I'll just leave this here.

Except when it comes to Ashli Babbitt...then the conservative apologists come out of the wood work

Statistics clearly show that Blacks commit over 50% of all violent crime in America despite them being 14% of the population.

Look at murder and robbery in particular.

Ever take a look at the white collar crimes data? Not too good for whites.
Why are you ignoring certain crimes?

Who's a "worse" criminal? The kid that robs a convenience store or Bernie Madoff?

The consent decree review was started 2 years ago after the Breonna Taylor murder

Police chief then was not the woman you are talking about...it was Steve Conrad who was chief for 8 years prior

What a surprise !!! You're wrong AGAIN !!! 😲


https://www.courier-journal.com/sto...avid-mcatee-breonna-taylor-deaths/5311703002/

Conrad, who served as chief for eight years, had said last month he would retire at the end of June amid increasing pressure in the wake of a different fatal police shooting: that of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old ER technician who was killed March 13 in her apartment.

But Fischer said it had become clear in recent days that the city could not wait for a change in leadership.

 

[RayGravesGhost]

And in Kentucky this week...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/video-shows-police-kentucky-were-014312267.html

Video shows police in Kentucky were asked to get medical care for man who died in custody​

A Kentucky man with a heart condition died in police custody Saturday, and his friend who recorded the arrest said officers never called for medical assistance despite her insistence that he was struggling to breathe.

Clarence Wilkerson, 34, died after Ashland police officers tried to serve a warrant, Kentucky State Police said in a statement Monday. The state's medical examiner found Wilkerson's death was not the result of a "traumatic event" but possibly related to an existing medical condition, state police said in a statement.

Bethany Bowman, a friend who witnessed Wilkerson’s arrest, said officers did not call for medical support even after she and Wilkerson noted his struggle to breathe. Bowman, who sometimes referred to Wilkerson by his nickname, "C," said she knew one of the officers involved in the arrest because he was frequently in the area by her trailer park.

And guess what? You forgot to mention that Steve Conrad is ALSO a democrat:

LMPD Chief Endorses Clinton For President

Conrad's endorsement of the Democratic candidate for president comes nearly a month after the nation's largest police union threw support behind Trump.

www.lpm.org

"Louisville Metro Police Chief Steve Conrad says Donald Trump is "off base" and running a campaign with a flawed premise.

"I definitely do not endorse Trump and will be voting for Hillary Clinton," Conrad told WFPL in an interview Tuesday following a forum on race relations at the Louisville Urban League."

So as you've established, the city of Louisville has a HISTORY of racial discrimination against blacks AND of having DEMOCRATS RUNNING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT!

Gangs in LA are exceptionally violent. Go listen to any Ice-Cube, NWA, Easy-E (love Easy), Ice-T, Body Count (iconic band, btw), etc. and they will tell you that, let alone the aggregate statistics. Those are all Black rap groups, but it sets the broader scene.

Columbia Journalism Review Crowns CNN Anchor Don Lemon “Worst Journalist of 2014”

CNN Anchor Don Lemon (Courtesy Photo) CNN news anchor Don Lemon recently received a dubious honor when he was named the “worst journalist of 2014” in the Columbia Journalism Review’s “recap of this year’s most cringe worthy news blunders.” In its “Darts & Laurels” section of the magazine...

afro.com

“As one of the most recognizable anchors on CNN, Don Lemon has helped lead the cable network’s coverage of the biggest stories of the year. Live television is exceedingly difficult to produce, of course, but Lemon’s gaffes this year offer a case study in how to choose words wisely — or not.

On March 20, he asked guests whether Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 could have been swallowed by a black hole: “I know it’s preposterous, but is it preposterous?”

 

[BamaFan1137]

And so with the constitutional rights of citizens its "OK" for the truth to be " somewhere in the middle" ?

Where exactly did I say that it's ok? I commented on where I thought we were as a society. It wasn't a statement of support...it was a recognition of circumstance.

Your entire premise here was based on a lie that you made up in your head. If it wasn't an intentional lie, then you made an assumption based on your stupidity and your fragile hold on the English language.

Final warning...do better or I'm done with you. I'm unwilling to debate you AND the demons in your head that simply make sh1t up.

 

[BamaFan1137]

If that's your personal belief...

then your personal belief is "white supremacy" in law enforcement is "OK" about 50% of the time..."somewhere in the middle" right?

You are debating the voices in your head, you freak. You literally are having a conversation that no one else was having.

If this isn't an intentional disgusting spin on your part (meaning an outright damn lie), then you should seek professional help. Hopefully you just don't read or interpret the English language on an adult level.

But I meant what I said above. If you twist my words like this again, beyond all measure or reason, you're going on ignore.

Finally, a man of character, if that's what you are, would now apologize for the slander that you just attempted. I'll hold my breath.

 

[BamaFan1137]

Is it exhausting to be this angry all the time?

Are you angry at breakfast? You gangbanging on bacon?

Ask for a friend.

And he's that angry about something that I never said. It's what he decided to hear but I damn sure didn't say it. I never even intimated that it was "ok."

It's surreal.

 

[BamaFan1137]

Spoken like a true white supremacist...cause that's exactly what they said during the Civil Rights era also

Is it exhausting to make excuses for white racism all of the time?

You see racism in everything. Everything is racist to you.

I think that's the case because it's what you want to see. You get off on this sh1t. You're literally horny for racism. It's sick, and so are you.

God bless you man. Seriously, I'm going to pray for peace for you.

Welcome back, ray ray. I'd forgotten how much fun this is LOL

Welcome back to what? You're useless conversations?
Your comments are soooo stupid on so many levels a elementary school child would call you stupid for even posting them.

The history of the Louisville PD is a racist one...so the fact that the last couple of police chiefs were of a political party means they are responsible for the department's entire 200 year history? OK


Nobody really cares what political party the head of the organization is besides you

Want proof? Let's use you as the example.

You care which political party leader was behind the COVID shutdown?
No, Because that would be donald trump...but you still support him

You care what political party a governor was behind the COVID shutdown?
No. Because that would be Ron DeSantis when he shut down Florida.

You care what political party the president was that viewed communist China's leader as a friend & good guy?
No. Because that would be donald trump...but you still support him

You care which political party leader had a love affair with North Korea's leader?
No. Because that would be donald trump...but you still support him


But as to be expected you don't assign blame to the actual perpetrator of the crime (the racist cop)
You make an uncorrelated connection to the political affiliation of the police chief?

Funny how you don't seem to do that with the president who called communist China's leader a good friend and did business with him for years


You're a clown 🤡

 

[RayGravesGhost]

And he's that angry about something that I never said. It's what he decided to hear but I damn sure didn't say it. I never even intimated that it was "ok."

Nah....you just don't have a problem with law enforcement violating its oath some of the time against certain people


Louisville’s Forgotten History Of Police Officers In The KKK

The Marshalls’ search for answers and justice would ultimately yield convictions, with two men arrested within 10 days of the attack ultimately pleading guilty.

Their search would also set in motion a series of events that would lead to the uncovering of a Ku Klux Klan faction active in the ‘70s and ‘80s — the Confederate Officers Patriotic Squad — that was led and dominated by Louisville area police officers. Among the group’s members was a man who was chief of the now defunct Plantation Police Department for three years in the early 1980s.

The ripples are still being felt: Just last month, reporting by the Courier Journal revealed that two officers with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office had been formerly associated with the Klan faction. Those two officers, Gary Fischer and Mike Loran, have since left the department.

 

[RayGravesGhost]

You see racism in everything. Everything is racist to you.

I think that's the case because it's what you want to see. You get off on this sh1t. You're literally horny for racism. It's sick, and so are you.

God bless you man. Seriously, I'm going to pray for peace for you.

And you're simply blind to any discussion of racial discrimination because it makes you feel bad...
You should move back to Florida...you'll LOVE that the governor protects your fragile self image by law




'The time for terrorizing the Black community with no repercussions is over.' Reactions to LMPD investigation

Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general​

"These findings are not based on any one incident or event. They turn on evidence showing long-standing dysfunction at LMPD. The pattern or practice of unlawful conduct compromises LMPD’s ability to serve and protect safely, constitutionally and effectively. Instead, LMPD has practiced an extreme, misdirected and counterproductive style of policing."

"Our efforts were exhaustive. We talked to hundreds of people across the city. We rode with officers in their cars on patrol. We spoke with city and union officials, judges and attorneys, advocacy groups, religious leaders and community members from different walks of life. And along with our experts, we've reviewed thousands of documents regarding LMPD’s enforcement activities, and we watch thousands of hours of body-worn camera footage."

 

[RayGravesGhost]

Ted Shouse, Louisville attorney​

"Systemic racial discrimination by LMPD is recognized and proven in this report. Many of us had known this for years and today that knowledge is validated and respected. ... It is only through the recognition of these facts, that we can hope to have any path forward."

First of all that's a list of CRIMNAL gangs...not deputy gangs

Second, did you not notice that NONE of the gangs listed as Mexican Mafia were the deputy gangs we were discussing?

Third, a number of the deputy gangs are mixed race. Though some of the oldest are identified as white supremacist or neo-nazi. Of the 18 known deputy gangs there hasn't been one officially identified as "Latinx only" from what I've seen.

Which all leads to why I asked the question "Did you just assume with the word "gangs" and Los Angeles that they were Latinx gangs"?

What does 49.1% of the population have to do with Latinx deputy gang members?

Does that mean a majority of accountants, lawyers, or any other group in Los Angeles is predominately Latinx because they make up 49.1% of the overall population?

The CORRECT population for comparative purposes would be the number of Latinx deputies to the number of Latinx deputy gang members.

I have not seen any data on this but if you find it then we can discuss

Showing the errors in grandhaven's post only confirms why someone would question the words "gangs" & "Los Angeles " led him to claim the cause is the Mexican Mafia

There have been lots of analysis of these deputy gangs and NONE have claimed a Mexican Mafia connection

https://www.reuters.com/legal/gover...-50-year-old-police-gangs-finally-2022-03-30/

Officials have known that violent, racist gangs operate within the ranks of the nation’s largest local police force, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, for more than 30 years, according to news reports, federal court decisions, independent investigations and governmental analyses dating back to 1990. The deputy gangs create a shadow system of supervision, in conflict with the actual chain of command, and have an us-against-them culture that leads to racial profiling, frequent and excessive use of force, and sometimes deaths.

Though there is the story of one whistleblowing officer that was Italian who the gang wanted to get kicked off the force and the deputy gang claimed he was part of the Mexican Mafia...

https://knock-la.com/lasd-gang-regulators-shooting-zabala/

In their complaint, the lieutenants alleged LASD listed Rampone’s race as Hispanic despite the fact that he is Italian. After he provided testimony for Deputy Jaimes’ case against the County, Rampone was passed over for promotion to captain, despite testing well for the position.

 

[RayGravesGhost]

Hopefully Louisville is smart enough to get the racist dems out of town and let some decent people run the city and police department.

The L.A. County Sheriff’s Deputy-Gang Crisis

Whistle-blowers say that a group called the Banditos functions as a shadow government within local law enforcement. The sheriff says there is no such gang in his department.

www.newyorker.com

From the New Yorker, hardly a conservative outpost. Just read the article. The main individual profiled is “Mexican-American”.

Perhaps I read too quickly, but it seem to parallel directly the comments made above.

You do look for bias very quickly by the way.

And yes, Public Enemy, Biggie, Jay-Z, Tribe called Quest are way better. Of that we completely agree…

 

[RayGravesGhost]

Like I said you're dumb for many reasons but a few related to this discussion in particular...

Republicans have 6 cracks at it and haven't eliminated the problem...
Maybe the political affiliation of the mayor has nothing to do with it?

The police chief is appointed by a bi-partisan council...2 Dem/2 Rep with the mayor as the deciding vote. You claim to know how those votes went for 200 years?

Maybe the mayor's vote was never even required in electing a police chief 😲

Your framework for this subject is what is commonly referred to as "White People's Problems"

Think the victim of police abuse gives a rat's ass what the political affiliation of the mayor is?

Think they care what the political affiliation of the cop violating their civil rights is?


No. ONLY dumb people like you care about irrelevant crap like that

You're not just the village idiot around here...you're "Mr. Irrelevant" too 🤣

But then as soon as I educated you on how DEMOCRATS are in charge in Louisville, and have been since the Civil War, you switch gears to 'Well Louisville has always been racist, what are ya gonna do?"

LMAO! Pathetic. When push comes to shove, you are ok with blacks in Louisville being subjected to racism, as long as your politics are protected.

Wow.

You do look for bias very quickly by the way.

I would beg to differ but viewpoint accepted
.
I would say bias exists in lots of perspectives...

I don't shirk from calling out possible racial bias just because its uncomfortable to discuss

Just like I don't shirk from calling out political bias or any other bias...implicit or explcit

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Of course you do. You were fine doing it ITT, until you found out it was YOUR PARTY that was responsible for the racism.

Then you tried to deflect and claim that Republicans in the 1870s must be responsible for the racism Louisville is facing under democratic leadership in 2023. So we can't blame the dems, cause the city has ALWAYS been racist.

People like you are an embarrassment. Back on Ignore you go.

 

[RayGravesGhost]

At least I'm not a fraud like you are.

Your a dickhead...own it

But then as soon as I educated you on how DEMOCRATS are in charge in Louisville, and have been since the Civil War, you switch gears to 'Well Louisville has always been racist, what are ya gonna do?"

Your point has zero to do with issue,
The political affiliation of the mayor isn't correlated to the level of racism in the Louisville PD

By your own admission the city PD has been racist under Dems AND Repubs
So what does that prove?

TBH most of your posts reflect a nonsensical partisan ideology and don't even warrant a response
But I know without a reply you would think its somehow validated

I'd rather have a real discussion but a few posters here aren't really capable of that and some well intentioned catch a more aggressive response from me because I waste a lot of time debunking the more prolific numb skulls like you

LMAO! Pathetic. When push comes to shove, you are ok with blacks in Louisville being subjected to racism, as long as your politics are protected.

What would lead you to believe I'm OK with blacks in Louisville being subjected to racially discriminatory police dept?

My comments on Breonna Taylor?

Just for the record...the political affiliation of the mayor was an issue brought up by YOU

Already reversing course on your "You forgot to mention" posts in this thread?

Wow.

Yes its amazing how consistently your shown to be an idiot but you keep coming back for more 🤣

Of course you do. You were fine doing it ITT, until you found out it was YOUR PARTY that was responsible for the racism.

So now malone declares ALL police behavior on democrats...

Why? No reason...it just fits his political narrative...no facts needed

Then you tried to deflect and claim that Republicans in the 1870s must be responsible for the racism Louisville is facing under democratic leadership in 2023. So we can't blame the dems, cause the city has ALWAYS been racist.

I did? Where?

That's usually the argument of the white supremacist.
Racism today isn't the continuation of racism in the past.

So when exactly did racism "end" in Louisville?

Everybody wants to update their records

People like you are an embarrassment. Back on Ignore you go.

And as with most losers of a debate its ALWAYS safe to run after declaring a make believe "victory"

Sure your name isn't Kari Lake? 🤣

What came first....minorities or racism?

I took a quick look at that article too...no need for apologies...honest mistake

I think this series of articles were the ones that really got the ball rolling on the oversight investigation that has now released their report

A Tradition of Violence The History of Deputy Gangs in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department


The journalist received an Emmy for the podcast associated with this and just signed with CAA



I would beg to differ but viewpoint accepted
.
I would say bias exists in lots of perspectives...

I don't shirk from calling out possible racial bias just because its uncomfortable to discuss

Just like I don't shirk from calling out political bias or any other bias...implicit or explcit



👍

Working bottom to top. Love that we agree on the bands. “Electric relaxation” from Tribe is simply genius work. So was all of PE’s.

Yes, we all have bias. For the issues I have with CRT and the broader applications, training on “implicit bias” was helpful and I use every day to try and keep a fair lens.

On the above, and we likely disagree here, the article was meant to support my (strongly) held view point on the issues of illegal immigration and the linkages to what we have seen here in this article, which was exceptionally well done.

I appreciate the desire to have a fair “back and forth”.

Have a good weekend.
