Once again it isn't safe for a black person to knock on a door. I need to send this thread to Nikki Haley.
Texas salesman called racial slur and shot at by homeowner, saved by tablet device blocking bullet
A Texas door-to-door salesman was called a racial slur and shot at by a resident at a home he stopped at — but was miraculously saved by his electronic tablet device that blocked the bullet.www.aol.com
He wasn't shot at, he was shot. "Shot at" implies they attempted to shoot him but missed.
Thing that stood out to me though, was the police statement:
'Police said Monday the case is still under investigation and officers "will be writing a warrant" on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.'
Wow...fucking Texas for ya. Aggravated assault? The guy was trying to kill him, and might've if not for that tablet. It should be attempted murder, FFS.
Guess which Nashville-based Grammy award winning artist had a simple resolution commending them go forward in the Tennessee state legislature for their achievement, and which had an identical simple resolution rejected, by Republican objection, last week:

We saw how the Tennessee legislature treated its black members. Just another racist wing of the racist Republican Party.
Props to Haley Williams for not only standing up for Allison Russell but for calling out that legislature for who they are, bigots.

Black Student’s Suspension Over Hairstyle Didn’t Violate Law, Texas Judge Rules https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/22/....WZYT.06Pg2hQ38t1X&smid=nytcore-android-share
School has arbitrary dress code that disproportionately impacts black students and their hairstyles, but apparently, that's okay in the great state of Texas.

Well that was a mighty white ruling from that judge. Even after a writer of the bill testified that the intent was different than how the school district was applying the law.
Not to mention the fucking waste of tax payer dollars just to force a kid to cut his hair. Just so fucking dumb on the part of the school district.

To the right, racism is a feature not a bug
So is racism, misogyny, and hatred of LBTGQ but someone has to be the other to look down on as they live their miserable, pathetic, mediocre lives in fear and jealousy of any more successful than them.

Hold up! We’re sorry about those 30 days off…The shit show known as ‘Slushygate’ snares some scum:
Two former Louisville police officers who repeatedly assaulted civilians by throwing beverages at them from unmarked police vehicles were sentenced to federal prison on Wednesday, with one receiving ten times the sentence of the other for his additional role in a scheme where he used police technology to help him hack and extort women with stolen sexually explicit material.

Slushygate: Louisville Metro Police officers throw drinks at civilians
In 2018-19, LMPD officers threw drinks at pedestrians from unmarked vehicles while on duty. They recorded attacks with cell phones and shared their videos with other officers.news.yahoo.com
LMPD reduces punishment for ex-supervisor connected to Slushygate
Louisville Metro Police has downgraded the punishment for a former supervisor the department said knew about drink-throwing "Slushygate" attacks by officers in his unit but did nothing to stop it, reducing his original 30-day suspension to 10.
Caught this one this morning. Not only was he a military member, there was a witness the cops couldn't shoot:

2 questions.Caught this one this morning. Not only was he a military member, there was a witness the cops couldn't shoot:

Senior Airman Roger Fortson, 23, was at home in apartment when officers burst into wrong unit and shot him dead, family says
Police tactics? Is this is how they are supposed to enter a home?
Gun ownership. I want to hear all the gun owners comment on this interaction. Would Fortson have been justified shooting the cops if he could?
There was a time when they needed to identify themselves before entering the home, I don't believe that is the case anymore.
For my personal opinion, yes, he would have been justified in shooting anyone who came through that door unannounced with the intent to harm him. He's under no obligation to understand the intricacies of why they're busting down his door.

I’m pretty sure that police still need to identify themselves, even before kicking down the door, unless it’s a no-knock warrant.

They need to get rid of no-knock warrants or at least limit them far more than is done now. Hell, cops can get a no-knock for something as minor as suspected theft. Does that justify the extra danger it puts officers AND the suspect in? And anyone in surrounding dwellings? So stupid.
Welp this time they've got it on video that they didn't. Unannounced door bash followed by gunfire for a supposed domestic disturbance.

Wanna bet they would have lied absent the video?

Who says they didn’t lie anyways? Dishonesty in the PD rarely goes punished

Any home invader should be shot dead.
You can be sure certain they would try and convict.
You can also be sure I would acquit an innocent person who was defending themselves.
Unfortunately, these police style home invasions basically never end with the victim surviving.

This is insane why the police do this sort of crap, and they should be held responsible for his death.
He would be well within his rights to blast every one of those police when they broke into his apt.
I was wondering is he looked and the police were all in plain cloths with no identifying vest etc... or what? And No Knock warrants should be illegal. This is just as bad what good does it do to knock and not identify yourself.

He was held responsible. He was put on paid administrative leave until he gets cleared of all charges.

"Fortson died at a hospital, officials said. The deputy involved in the shooting was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation."
Just another casualty. he was armed, so the police fired. It's unlikely anything happens to any of the officers.
Remember kids "stand your ground" means you can drive your car into protesters and shoot whoever dares to confront you.
Fuck Greg Abbott, what a horrid piece of shit
