More silly scrutiny on cops as out-of-control people act erratic in encounters, including black Americans and people suffering mental health episodes: Angelo Quinto, Daniel Prude, Ahmaud Arbery (citizen's arrest).
More Anti-cop mess
Angelo Quinto
(CNN/AP/TheSkimm) In December, the 30-year-old "mentally ill" Navy veteran Angelo Quinto (who apparently lived with his mother) died in Antioch, CA, after police allegedly knelt on his back (or neck) for about five minutes. Quinto's mother and 18yo sister (who called the cops worried he’d hurt the mother) said he had been suffering a mental health crisis when they called officers for help.
But they claim police forcefully and physically restrained him without trying to understand his mental state (supposedly he was holding his mother tightly, hugging her).
He started bleeding, lost consciousness, and was transferred to a local hospital where he died three days later. Quinto's cause of death hasn't been released, and the Contra Costa County DA is investigating. Last week, Quinto's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit — 75yo black anti-cop lawyer John Leonard Burris is the one smearing cops in this incident. Authorities have yet to respond.
Daniel Prude
Yesterday, a grand jury decided not to indict any of the officers involved in Daniel Prude's death...In March, the 41-year-old out-of-control [b]lack male died in Rochester, NY, after police restrained him, covered his head with a "spit hood," and pinned him to the ground – one officer put his knee to his back, as if there’s anything wrong with that. He’d spit at officers[7] and yelled, "Give me that gun" (Wikipedia).
Prude’s brother called the cops after he had a crazy mental health crisis (AFTER INGESTING PCP); he dove headfirst down a flight of stairs, and was running naked in the streets after 3 AM. He lost consciousness and was taken off life support 7 days after police apprehended him — ruled a “homicide.” Meaning interaction with normal-behaving human beings killed him because he was so out-of-control: "complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint". He was supposedly vomiting while restrained. A newspaper said there were no overtly hostile actions from officers, but his brother Joe Prude called it a “coldblooded murder,” RME.
Documents showed officials tried to make Prude look like a suspect (PSH). Seven officers were suspended. The city's police chief, deputy chief, and entire command staff resigned.
Prude's relatives’ lawyer commented on the decision, saying "the system failed."
Poor violent out-of-control victims
The Treatment Advocacy Center reported that people with mental illness were 16 times more likely to be killed during an encounter with police.
And according to one study, nearly a quarter of Americans shot and killed by police since 2015 had a history of mental illness — over 1,400 people. VAST MAJORITY JUSTIFIED, but people pretend police are “rarely held accountable,” which is an utter lie, obviously.
Ahmaud Arbery
Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of the 25-year-old [b]lack male erratic "jogger" Ahmaud Arbery got himself killed (he went for the son's shotgun, and they were fighting over it while white guys were trying to conduct a lawful citizen's arrest, but they had to chase him down following in trucks, which may have been ill-advised), which fueled imaginary racial justice protests (no such thing as racial justice).
Arbery's mom, Wanda Cooper-Jones, filed a civil lawsuit, accusing the three men, law enforcement, and local prosecutors of reportedly "willfully and maliciously" conspiring to kill her son. And said "racial bias, animus, discrimination" led to a violation of Arbery's civil rights.
02/24/21 Wed. Hour 2
Senate committees held a hearing on the Capitol riot (nothing about BLM riots and murders).
Update on Hong Kong: Beijing loyalty test for elected officials!
Feminism is rearing its ugly head in China! A divorced woman got paid off for housework after her husband divorced her!

More Capitol riot hearings, RME
(TheSkimm) Yesterday, a joint Senate hearing (two committees) focused on security failures that led up to the Jan 6 "attack." The violent siege (as libs call it) left five people dead (which is a deceptive statement, as most of the deaths had nothing to do with violence, except for a Trump supporter Air Force vet woman was shot and killed trying to jump through an inner window people broke; you could say the chaos left people overexcited).
Law enforcement officials blamed a breakdown in communication and not receiving the right intel (there was an FBI bulletin warning about an attack, but Nervous Nancy Pelosi and the liberal black female DC Mayor Muriel Bowser didn’t want the extra troops Trump repeatedly offered).
Senators heard testimony from former Capitol Police chief Steven Sund, who said rioters "came prepared for war." And black female Capt. Carneysha Mendoza said she hasn't healed from chemical burns she suffered from "military-grade gas." The Senate plans to hold more hearings on the riots next week.
Appointments
BTW: Yesterday Linda Thomas-Greenfield got Senate approval as Sleepy Joe Biden's UN ambassador – the second [b]lack female to hold the role.
(CNN) Neera Tanden, Biden’s Office of Management and Budget director nominee is on hold while politicians weigh whether to approve her. Tanden has angered Republicans with her outspoken tweets and has sparred with some progressives.
Hong Kong vs China
Hong Kong’s government has moved to introduce new requirements for public officials, including that they swear loyalty oaths and embrace Beijing's rule over the city. Anyone who fails to take the oath, or is deemed to have done so in an insincere fashion, would be immediately disqualified and banned from running for the next five years, supposedly. Hong Kong is supposed to be self-governing — a former British colony given back to China in 1997 under a “one country, two systems” agreement. Similar loyalty tests have already been used to disqualify multiple SO-CALLED pro-democracy candidates and remove elected lawmakers.
Speaking of COMMUNISTS… FEMINISM IN CHINA
A Chinese court ordered a husband to pay his wife $7,700 (IN DOLLARS?? NO.) as compensation for housework she "shouldered" during their five-year marriage. The landmark divorce ruling has sparked a debate in China about the value of unpaid domestic work. SMH, RME.
Wang, a homemaker, demanded restitution equivalent to $24,700 from her husband after he filed for divorce at a district court in Beijing in October. Wang said she was left to take care of the couple's child and housework alone, as her husband "barely cared about or participated in any kind of domestic chores," the state-run China National Radio (CNR) reported.
In its ruling, the court ordered the husband to pay Wang around $7,700 as "housework compensation," after splitting their joint property equally. Wang was also awarded custody of their son and $300 per month in alimony, according to CNR.
