Dearborn man shot dead inside Police Department after allegedly trying to shoot officer

Who is asking for these light sentences/easy release?
I understand Lightfoot is a mess, as is the SF City Council head that pushes stupid shit thru despite the mayor, but other cities - why does sane "lock up dangerous or shown repeat offenders" get undermined so much? Does lightening one's workload by getting bad publicity really even help him at all, or it's just a BS excuse for another motive?

A reminder that Hochl's re-election was suprisingly close, even though her opponent was a start raving anti-abortion nut, he ran mostly on crime and taxpayers were fed up with soft on crime BLM-influenced state goverment:
Bragg is still working the BLM playbook, btw:
by artappraiser on Mon, 12/19/2022 - 2:04pm
Essentially, local Democrats LIE, play both sides, tell the center they are going to be tough on crime now but still feed lefties who cotton to BLM/defund theory. Not like Bloomberg, who was basically: fuck you lefties, we're going to clean up this city, like it or not, I'm even going to have cops stop and frisk, and send squeegee guys to jail - even Singapore style sometimes, i.e., no throwing your gum on the sidewalk. See for example, how Lightfoot talks out of both sides of her mouth, expressing outrage about a shooting a thousand miles away, but zipped lips about criminals killing each other in her own city, Kim Foxx is worse than Alvin Bragg, much like Chesa Boudin, everyone of color is a victim and the white taxpayers are the oppressors and need to keep paying for the slave-owning sins of their forefathers, yadda yadda. Lefites still run the big blue cities, make no mistake. Woke rich white liberal elite in wealthy areas of the city centers + uneducated ghetto denizens in the bad hoods within the city line who blame whites for their problems make a political majority. Everyone else, the middle class (pro-car btw) fled the city because they can't afford to live safely there nor get a decent education for their kids there.
edit to add: the latter, that's where all the swing voters are. too. - in nyc, go outside the city line, on Long Island, Nassau and Suffolk county, you start to get Biden voters who voted for Zeldin over Hochl. Ditto north of the city, Westchester.It's not all lily white, lots of immigrants. It's the same in Milwaukee area, SE Wisconsin. Same in Virginia, close to D.C., etc. Big blue cities still very woke lefty within city lines
by artappraiser on Mon, 12/19/2022 - 2:38pm
p.s. Keisha Lance-Bottoms was a rare outlier during BLM! That's why she got so much news attention! Bravely challenging the bullshit lefty status quo.

'Don't go to sleep': Woman rushes to help 14-year-old after shooting on Detroit's west side
Detroit mother and sons try to save teen boy after shooting
When a Detroit woman heard gunshots, she ran outside to find a 14-year-old boy collapsed with a gunshot wound. She worked with her sons to try to save the boy, but he did not make it.

Homicides of Children Soared in the Pandemic’s First Year
Killings of children and teenagers under 18 increased sharply in 2020, federal researchers reported. Black communities were disproportionately affected.
Meanwhile educated whites were out protesting police supposedly killing Blacks in mass quantities and pulling statues of 'colonizers".
How about this theory? Police were disgusted for being blamed for criminal dysfunction of 'Black communities' via mass hysterical reaction to one frigging video. While they are supposed to be working DURING A PANDEMIC while mostly everyone else gets to stay home, that they just stopped rushing to those 911 calls from 'Black communities', see how well the 'community' takes care of it like the protesters claimed they could. Why would you care about that guy threatening his son with a gun or a knife if the result is more blame and outright hatred? Don't give a flying fuck, go ahead and kill your kids, wife, whatever, you don't want me there, ok, gotcha
by artappraiser on Wed, 12/21/2022 - 12:00am
So police can get disgusted, but blacks can't get disgusted about death chokeholds, whipping a suspect around in the back of a van, or like I'm Chicago locking numerous suspects up in an anonymous building for days.
I know the public response especially among blacks was often counterproductive, but the police also blocked reforms for a long long time - even when cops found to do horrid shit, unions made sure they didn't face punishment.
Few things are simple. Stopping police corruption is part of enforcing. But can't have a good public marketing outreach if you let cops shit on the floor or the customer, sorry to say. you want people to respect you, you can't kill off all respect, even while having to still deal with actual criminals and street toughs... What was the article the other day - mixed couple in Tennessee had a year of harassment before someone burned their house down, yet neither police nor insurance investigated. The jogger Arbery(so?) the cops were going to drop the investigation. Yes, it's ironic whites protesting while blacks are going "shush, it'll just get worse". But hey, GOP is more worried about kneeling for the anthem than people attacking the Capitol - shit just isn't going to make sense, that's just the way it is. Will look for *some* balance.
by PeraclesPlease on Thu, 12/22/2022 - 3:57am
If you have mass protests against police that illogically and hysterically tar them all with the action of one during a pandemic, yet, and say or at least imply they are systemically racist, and make them police those protests to boot, it's a no brainer that good people are going to leave policing and it will increasingly be an occupation that good people will not chose.
I totally stand by my belief that the 2020 anti-police 'Black Lives Matter" protests were some of the most counterproductive of all times. In so many ways, including black lives mattering. Those protests had virtually no redeeming quality, and many negative effects, and yes, including the peaceful ones.
by artappraiser on Thu, 12/22/2022 - 8:43pm
I'm basically with him, by the way:
and no., they weren't suicides,
the message was basically was: let's throw out rule of law, cause it's real unfair racially, go ahead and committ crimes, nobody is going to dare stop you, especially not police nor whites

p.s. according to this guy, they spent most of last year arguing about Columbus and the like; I for one believe him, that sort of thing has been very common at school board meetings across the country:
edit to throw in this normie reaction:
one strike and you are out to 'juvie hall', you can kill each other there until this society decides it wants to try to spend more money to try to reform you. no sense punishing the good kids with their crap, even if it's the fault of bad parents, again, no sense punishing the good kids.

just a reminder of one of those 'peaceful' Geo. Floyd protests in Minneapolis -
Liberal mayor Jacob Frey actually did nothing wrong, they just wanted to dis all authority. (Some of them probably spent the next few days tearing down statues they didn't like.) Keisha Lance Bottoms of Atlanta had a far tougher reaction down the line a bit. (Even defending against the attempted destruction of the 'imperialist' CNN logo sign, if I remmber correctly.) As noted in the tweet in the above comment, the Minneapolis city council pandered to these stupid student-age protesters, and later rued that they did so, as did the normies who actually pay the taxes and their salaries. Too late, though, if you were looking to be a police officer, why would you trust them? They blow with the wind, chicken, didn't want to end up like Mayor Frey.

Who are these "Woke", how many are there?
Because it comes awfully close to making Tucker Carlson-like claims over every horrific. Yeah, there were dumb ppl who objected when police smoked the black 14-year-old about to knife another black teen. But is there really such a huge number of such idiots, or do we just keep amplifying the relative few so we can make fun of them? Because after a while it just translates to "all liberals are insane snowflakes" and let's these horrific rightwing motherfuckers get elected despite like Herschel Walker displayed being rather terrible human beings. Not that anyone's reading Dagblog - - just talking generally.

perfect example of some place they don't need cops anymore because everyone's got guns there now:
so in that way, 2020 protests were successful! (it was just guns that replaced 'police' instead of social workers; lots more biz for EMT's and E.R. staff, those are growth areas...)

the Idaho killer story is shaping up to be one of a stone-cold premeditated murderer fascinated with murdering other humans, relatively rare in reality but common in fiction - and took a massive manhunt to find him -
these two things are pretty well verified by now, tho
and even tho this is very true
everything the cops been saying, even though they are sure they caught the guy, they still want the public's help and tips with convicting him
Finally I really get a kick out of this picture as it looks like they got the REAL Santa as a sidekick, and so soon after Christmas, too, the man's a real workaholic

PP brought up the topic of how the crime wave happened. I think this article does an excellent job of ilustrating how bail reform and sympathy for criminals of minority populations helped it along mightily, using one case as a starting point (though it's in the Examiner, don't dismiss it, it's very well done, clear that the reporter has done her homework and it is quite free of agitprop):
Though I gotta say: if you're going to be outraged about something, this is definitely one thing! These people really should not be let out on the streets when they show total disregard for the system, doing things that the court explicitly told them they couldn't do, or things like cutting off an electronic monitor! What's going on with repeat offenders really is an outrage! If you want to advocate for more timely trials, that's fine, but bail reform has been a complete total failure! Low paid public defenders clearly milk that, my question is: how can they sleep at night? If I had my druthers, I would outlaw organizations like the abolitionist one in the article, funding bail for people who then go out and murder and then acting like they had nothing to do with it. Or how about making them take those out on bail into their very own homes, see how they do at practicing what they are preaching?

if one can't see the way to encourage civilized behavior in public is to prosecute such perps harshly, as if intending murder, than you are hopeless. Fistfights are not entertainment events provided for you to video and post on social media so you can grow your audience of rooters for one side or another. You either want civilized behavior in cities or you want to go back to "only the strong survive." Yeah cops are often assholes, they often have to be. More people need to see the deterrent effect of serious repercussions for acting out this way.
NYC voters don't want your 'humorous' late night Waffle House riots, if you keep advertising them on social media, no decent person will chose to eat there when visiting. Does "ghetto" culcha get that? Want to stay a part of a poor, groveling underclass forever or move on up and hang with the civilized people? Your choice.

I never said police abuse was only towards blacks, only that they got a disproportionate share & that police had a major PR problem that they should clean up. Some are trying, I know, but I can't figure out how something like this subway rider incident escalates so badly - and where's the effort to stop the overreacting cop, more, what are the procedures? So I'm not overreacting, what's the approximate incident rate for severely unwarranted police response to non-threatening situations? (not that all will be reported, and largely only the ones on video go viral and get known).

(Chances there are also much higher if you're low income/low education and live in a shitty neighborhood. Especially if you don't have anyone watching what's going on, be very afraid of being a hospital inpateint.)
The few whole police departments which are corrupt from the top down are investigated and punished by the D.O.J. since Serpico. Wish they went against hospitals with equal fervor.
Yes it's a P.R. problem. I'd go much further and say it's disinfo or misinto. It's irrational fear of authority to focus on the outliers. Even moreso with the advent of ubiquitous cellphone video and bodycams.
It's very simple: it's vastly more probable that you'll be harmed by crime than a police officer. With the NYPD the uniformed force alone is 35,000!
But its not so easy to fight against perceptions that ACAB from a year of hysteria mass demonstrations over a few cellphone videos of abuse, constant drumbeat against the whole idea of police. Maybe in a an era with ubiquitous handhead cellphone video, they shouldl all get rid of uniforms and go plainclothes - the FBI does - then you'd go back to only paranoid extremist libertarians freaking out. Certainly the dreams of abolitionists are not being proven correct as far as civilians filming crimes reducing crime.
This focus on police is voodoo delusion blaming a symbol of authority for all that is troubled in society When in actuality, they are the only thing that stands up for civilization and the rule of law against the law of the jungle.
Think Jan. 6. What percentage of those cops were being abusive?
Lay down with Ashley Babbit victimhood, get up with fleas at minimum, probably much worse.

Yeah, the ACAB bias was allover the place as it was just after 2020 anti-police protests, and all the attendant media bias for,most of that year. This syndrome was even prominent on Dagblog on Jan. 6 as I was trying to basically live blog what was happening. Especially because a lot of the better videos and photos of what really was happening didn't start to appear for days or weeks after, people would seize on any image that might confirm in even a small way their ACAB bias.
(In 2020 it was like: don't dare publish any positive news having to do with police, and downplay and coverup any riots or looting in preference for negative stories about them - in a way I could see that the national MSM.seemed to feel that buying into anything positive about police was giving unfair advantage to Trumpism somehow. So national seemed eager to publish anything good they could find about the protest and protesters, and all the horrible stuff going on via mobs was left to local sources and social media to cover - causing a greater rift than before between "elites" and "normies", not even agreeing on basic information about what was happening. Seemed to begin to turn only around the Rittenhouse/Kenosha thing as reports got more into detail and nuance.)
