During a virtual workshop after the meeting, Council Member Kris Lawrence-Anderson said she voted to fire Boganey out of fear of potential reprisals from protestors if she did not, according to the newspaper.

"He was doing a great job. I respect him dearly," Lawrence-Anderson said. "I didn't want repercussions at a personal level."

Really? Like... really?

We have video. This was a collossal-level fubar by the LEO. Should the guy have resisted arrest? Well, no that doesn't generally end well, and it's illegal and all. Should the guy be expected to die because he resisted arrest? Uh... no.

Some of you love yourself some police state nonsense. Choose the other pill and get yourself out of the matrix. Law enforcement is a necessary evil, and is ALWAYS the front line of an oppressive government - be that left or right.. It needs heavy oversight and held to account when it screws up. This is such a screw up.

I imagine this incident will come with legal consequences.

I agree that oppressive police can be/are a problem. There’s several lessons from this:

Don’t get into a scuffle with an armed individual.

Don’t pull your gun (even mistakenly) if you don’t intend to kill someone.

Don’t pass laws that you aren’t willing to enforce at the end of the barrel of a gun.

Monday, Yankees certerfielder Aaron Hicks asked the coach for a day off, because he was so upset over the shooting in Minnesota. The day off request was granted. (10 million per year contract)

The officer is being charged with 2nd degree manslaughter.

I myself have been stopped for having an expired tag on my vehicle and I am here today. Of course, I...........

1. am not black
2. didn't have multiple outstanding warrants
3. didn't try and jump back in my vehicle and flee

Well I heard a stat yesterday that your chances of being shot are 50/50, so consider yourself lucky.

4. presumably hadn't been previously arrested for resisting arrest and fighting a police officer.
5. previously tried to rob an elderly lady at gunpoint.

Yeah, the stop was for expired tags.

This was a pretext to serve a warrant for armed robbery and assault (of his female roommate).

Still a negligent discharge and likely prison sentence for manslaughter.

[SubGod22]

Because expired tags are such a dangerous infraction that we need to use it to instigate more police encounters with people.

Let’s just not all pay our tags!

It is a stupid cash grab. But if they can mail you speeding tickets and whatnot, they can do the same with this.

They can - but at some point there has to be some enforcement for those who choose not to comply.

[SubGod22]

They won't though. Laws and regulations are written to increase the amount of contact between police and people so they can happily try to fine you for even more things and generate more money.

If police were more about serve and protect and less about raising money for local government, there would be fewer issues.
