This fugitive saga must be so embarrassing for the various law enforcement agencies and police forces involved: Escaped murderer on the run in Pennsylvania has changed appearance and slipped out of search areas - Ten days and the authorities have not caught him. Is the guy that good? Or are the cops that bad? Here in the police department still has not identified or detained the killer of a young man who was beheaded with a samurai sword in broad daylight in the city limits. That happened about ten years ago. Cops are good a showing up, and sometimes that’s good enough. But in many cases, what happens after they show up is no so good, effective or competent. apnews.com/article/a729fb5d392

This AP article is astoundingly bad. You'd think they were mainstream Canadian press by the way they parrot the claims of police, politicians, and judges!

What should happen:

The top officials responsible who were knowingly involved should be charged with crimes.

The lower level people involved should be fired for cause and blacklisted from law enforcement forever.

What will happen:

Slap on the wrist here.

Police unions preventing accountability there.

Hello! We are humans, not computers; text strings trigger recognition, cognition triggers meaning. Hello?

There's a gap in the middle (hello) where you can decide accept the interpretation or interrogate it.

See a person expressing, using technology (language and hardware) to convey something, it behoves the attempt to comprehend not intent, but the meaning, which once understood makes the words irrelevant.

Fabricated Evidence, Tutored Witnesses, Malicious Prosecution: How Police Lied & Subverted Path To Justice

Though perjury, or lying under oath, and fabrication of evidence remain widespread in India’s justice system, prosecutions for the two offences are rare. In the first of a two-part series, Article14 analyses five recent court judgements that reveal how the police followed a similar modus operandi of submitting false evidence in court in an atmosphere of impunity.

It's very telling that RTÉ News platforms a Garda representative group's spokesperson and a business lobby org, rather than - say - local stakeholders and community groups, anti-poverty orgs, healthcare workers, etc.

"There's nothing that makes people feel more comfortable thank seeing a Guard [patrolling] on the street."

- Richard Guiney, CEO of Dublin Town, 23 August 2023.

Speak for yourself, Richard.

Why am I seeing pickup trucks as police vehicles? Are they hauling around suspects in the truck bed? Is picking up a load of dirt a new critical part of the police job?

Or are these guys insecure because they aren't driving around an F350?
