 the cops are just about always given a get out jail free card, unless its an african involved and then it seems the rules change again. the things i see are frequently senseless violations of human decency and what was once the rule of law and here is a good example below;


Stockton, CA — Shayne Sutherland was a father of two, a peewee football coach, and worked at the local union. He also had mental health issues and struggled with substance abuse. On October 8, 2020, Sutherland would die in need of help for his mental health issues after receiving police force instead. Now, because the officers involved in his death weren’t held accountable, the taxpayers of Stockton will pay up instead.

“If the city of Stockton won’t do their job and if the district attorney won’t do their job, we will do our job and get justice for this family,” civil rights attorney James Desimone told Fox 40.

“Ronald Zalunardo and John Afanasiev, the Stockton police officers, have murdered my son by asphyxiation,” Karen Sutherland, Shayne’s mother said at a press conference on Tuesday. “They need to be fired from Stockton Police Department and never be allowed to work as a police officer again. And they also need to be charged my son’s murder.”

In what started as a disturbance inside a convenience store, quickly morphed into an in-custody death. That night, Sutherland was in the midst of a mental health crisis. He had harmed no one, but according to the store employee was waving around a bottle of wine, saying he was going to throw it. He never threw it.

Illustrating the severity of Sutherland’s crisis, he was the one who initially called 911. When he called police, he asked them to send a taxi to the store, claiming someone had robbed him.

When police showed up, Sutherland was entirely compliant, doing everything police asked and cooperated with them to the fullest extent. He even admitted to having a drug problem and that he “used cocaine” earlier that day.

The officers offered no help and instead belittled and made fun of him for several minutes. As they were verbally berating him, for some reason, Sutherland stood up and then immediately realized that was a mistake, saying “I’m sorry. I’m sorry........read and watch more.......
