I'm always so amazed to read these stories and then see absolutely zero response from Americans

This single story alone should cause people to protest in the streets until at least the prosecutors are fired for corruption and this guy jailed

Yet, crockets, this is just another day in another town in the USA

They taught us police,

Supposed to serve and protect,

They abuse and kill

Though APD fired Eder on July 17, prosecutors officially refused to move forward with felony stalking charges in the case.

Prosecutors are part of the problem

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 8 hours ago

especially the DA, wants to be re-elected, having campaign funds. prosecutors are likely in the same sitiautions, want to advance thier careers, needs police support/police donor support.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 73 points 17 hours ago

ACAB includes prosecutors

[–] in_my_honest_opinion@piefed.social 47 points 17 hours ago

DA's protect shitty cops all the time.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 142 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

An internal audit revealed Eder used police databases to monitor the victim over a five-month span.

Eder turned himself into the Potter County Jail and was released on a single, $4,500 bond for all 78 charges combined.

$4500 for 78 charges?? People get higher bail for selling weed.

cop= discount jail scentence, and discounted fines.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 62 points 19 hours ago

off-duty access of active body cameras was not an unusual practice within the department.

Why the hell not?

Though APD fired Eder on July 17, prosecutors officially refused to move forward with felony stalking charges in the case.

Typical, they are looking out for their own.

Because of that legal classification, the victim said the county attorney’s office initially told him it would be difficult for him to access standard victim advocacy services.

WTF??

[–] bloviate@lemmus.org 14 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Flock should be pushing for new regs here and for this guy to be prosecuted. It would make everyone more comfortable with the cameras.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 hours ago

Just an FYI, if a company is ever actively pushing for regulation where they are a part of the equation, you should be suspicious. Like in your example, they wouldn’t actually care about the regulation beyond the PR of “look look we think this shouldn’t be allowed either!”

[–] h0tbeef@lemmy.zip 29 points 15 hours ago

They should fuck off and cease to exist

Compromise on our security for your profits? Get bent!

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I think stronger language might be called for here. 🤔

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 34 minutes ago

Oh, oh. I've seen this one before!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 29 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Flock is not going to be meaningfully regulated until a cop deletes a whole family in a public way.

I would not be surprised if a cop had already done so privately and it's just been covered up.

[–] ActualGrapesTasteGreen@piefed.zip 19 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

It's coming. The first case where somebody kills a cop in self defense.

[–] impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 37 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

99.99% sure that's happened before, 99.99% sure it will happen again, 99.99% sure the other guy won't survive. Or will get 50 years in jail (along with the six people closest to him).

[–] Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 8 hours ago

Three Generations punishment like in NK

What's my take away from this comment supposed to be?

[–] in_my_honest_opinion@piefed.social 17 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

A little different than the scenario I had envisioned. One of these days the death won't be a mistake.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

When? I'm not aware of any cases. No cops were killed when they shot and killed Breonna Taylor.

There's the Wilson shooting in Texas, but that guy was reckless, it wasn't really self defence.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You dont hear about it. The people who killed in self defence are then killed by the backup.

[–] ActualGrapesTasteGreen@piefed.zip 0 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You're 3 comments into a conversation on the topic and none of us have actually heard anything about them.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly, they murdered a cop. You will not be told that it was self defence.

[–] ActualGrapesTasteGreen@piefed.zip -1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, conspiracies are all you bring to the table then. Bye

[–] Steve@startrek.website 3 points 15 hours ago

Bye yourself

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 22 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Shocking but not unexpected :( I hope he's able to find justice.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 20 hours ago

Justice against a cop in America? LMFAO
