Found an article from the Salt Lake Tribune.

Azalea was booked into the Utah County Jail, the statement said, charged with disrupting a meeting, a class A misdemeanor, and interference with a police officer and assault on a police officer, both class B misdemeanors. The two people who left the meeting with her were given citations, the statement said.

...

After she was released, Azalea told The Tribune she got a CT scan because of “intense jaw pain.” While her jaw was not broken, she said she has a concussion and bruises on her jaw, shoulder and knee.

So they fucked her up and then charged her with assault.

    For all the mass shooters the states have, can just one of them shoot up a police station? Please? Why do you dumb fuck yanks always choose schools, as a people you literally would rather kill kids than Nazis.

    He needs to be tried and hanged. He premeditated that. He took her to open space and away from witnesses to do that. Tried, convicted, hanged.

    Just a quick poll, has anyone ever had an interaction with a police officer where you're grateful they exist?

    Like has a cop ever done anything that's actually helped you(not including 'going easy' on you, or letting something side)?

    I've had one good interaction with a police officer who put his lights on and parked behind me while I had to change a flat tire on the interstate in a section with no real shoulder.

    Other than that I've been harassed several times by cops, pulled over for BS reasons as an excuse for them to search my car for weed, which they did so illegally, and the charges were later dropped. I've also had a cop pull a gun on me when I was like 16 because my friends and I were play fencing with sticks in a parking lot.

    But seriously, they have huge budgets, all sorts of Kit, and walk around in body armor trying to display an intimidating presence, but what do they actually do? They have military weaponry and yet can't be bothered to stop school shootings, or hold rich pedophiles and literal traitors accountable, and they'll assault you for trying to use rights that you're guaranteed to have per the constitution.

    They're basically society's equivalent of Walmart greeters. They stand around hoping their presence will deter people from committing crimes, but really they just exist to keep property safe.

    My son was choking to death and a police officer saved his life.

    My brother died in a car accident and they caught the guy who did it.

    There are many decent police officers and they serve a real function in society.

    THIS DOES NOT EXCUSE THE ACTIONS OF THOSE WHO DO WRONG.

    THIS DOES NOT EXCUSE THE - INACTION - OF THOSE WHO ARE TURNING A BLIND EYE TO BEHAVIOR LIKE THIS

    Also, another side note. The police helped me convince my local parks and rec board to get signage for no fishing on a bike trail that was around a blind corner where people would crash their bikes all the time due to bags, coolers, poles, etc.. they advocated for this with me which I found commendable.

    I try to keep an open mind while also admonishing what I see is bad. I'm hoping that someday somehow they'll remove the stigma of reporting bad apples from police departments and prioritize real oversight

    Yes.

    My little brother (17 years old) was in some danger from my mother who had kicked in his door because she was mad and is known to throw things in her anger. Fearing he would be injured from whatever caused this, I drove over and picked him up (with her blessing... She screeched he was never welcome to return). The next morning I went to the police to report the incident, and get advice on what to do next. I knew she would change her mind the next day and I wanted to be prepared.

    The police officer took the time to talk to me about the relevant laws and what to do should she try to retaliate. That night she called the police on me and that officer was AWFUL. He did everything he could to escalate the situation, threatening to charge me with "a crime", yelling at me, etc. I told him his colleague had informed me of the relevant laws, and unless a judge intervened, we were allowed to wait for CPS to weigh in on the matter. He persisted with his threatening, so I asked who his Sargent was, and asked to speak with them. He said he would have him call me. Not liking his tone, I called the headquarters myself and reported the situation, and where we were with a different Sargent. His called later, but when he found out she was involved, quickly disengaged himself from everything.

    She was also quite nice, and let us know the best way to safely handle the situation. Thanks to her and the first police officer, we were eventually able to make amends with everything and no future incidents occurred. My little brother was returned to my mother's care, and she never repeated the behavior. In the end, it's a good story of how it SHOULD work.

    But imagine if I had never called. If I continued to feel like the aggressive cop was going to be putting my little brother into an unsafe environment, and I felt like I had to protect him. THAT cop would have loved to use force, and what would our family be like today?

    I guess the moral of the story is, if you suspect an issue will arise, be proactive in finding the best solution. If you wait, there are a lot of bad solutions with the cops that will probably happen.

    He could have killed her or hurt her much worse with this. That was a lot of force and a direct face slam.

    They are not playing fair. It is time to damage data centers.

    Are people still referring to the US as the land of the free? Been seeing a lot less of that lately. Edit: Stupid autocorrect

    The government wants you to support datacenters. By force if necessary. The owners of the datacenters running AI on them are hemorrhaging money. The wealthy don't stand to make very much on them at all.

    Think about that.

    Conservatives are inherently violent and are biologically unable to experience empathy. This is why they support and celebrate this kind of violence on their victims.

    Conservatives do not see normal people as humans. They never will.

    Even if she was breaking some sort of law, I doubt the consequences was being slammed head first on tile.

    Everything coming from a cop is basically their own personal punishment toward the person they don't like for exercising their rights.

    Utah is without a doubt one of the worst states in the US. It is absolutely rife with corruption and abuse, massively enabled by the Mormon cult

    This reminds me that I need to work out.

    A fascist worked out today, have you?

    I think that cop who can't walk is more deserving of a body slam than that woman actively fighting for human rights over capital interests
