Wow. That is just unbelievably sketch.

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.

I think the conspiracies that he somehow didn't do it are nonsense, however I think his "not guilty" plea and approach to this clearly shows that he is down to put the whole (corrupt) process on full display and make an absolute mockery of the legal system - a system that definitely needs to be mocked.

Unfortunately for the state, they're doing a very good job of supporting him in his cause.

Their opinion is a "conspiracy" but my opinion is "right"

Either way the state has the burden to prove he did the crime, I am not sure why you are this confident he did it. I guess fake news shill ops worked on you as intended lol

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

It's almost like a compulsion with the police to be extra scummy, even when it's not necessary.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Ah yes, twitter, the best source of facts...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

The state still has no turned over evidence as required by criminal procedure rules...

There are clearly irregularities with the evidence.

I called this from the day he was arrested. The state needs clean evidence to convict.

This twitter while not verified by me does confirm my bias on evidence. Will see if it is true during the trial ;)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Because this happens all the time and they are used to just doing it and nothing happening.

I always think about the episode of true detective where they roll with the biker gang. They just do it cool as cucumbers, prep and say "yeah we're going off book." No debate, no explanation, it's just a thing they do.

We all saw how that ended up.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 hours 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
