Same police force who only prosecuted only one officer in the Breonna Taylor killing (IIRC) because he might have endangered others by firing randomly from outside the ~~house~~ apartment building.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MA'AM, PICKUP THAT PLACENTA; THAT'S LITTERING!
TF… she’s got no home, so what are they gonna do after the kid pops out? Make her surrender the baby? Send her and the kid back to the street? I’m sure all of her stuff will be gone by the time she gets out.
what are they gonna do after the kid pops out?
Separate the child from the mother and feed them into the underfunded, over-bureaucratized foster system, where the state will pay several times more than the cost of living for mother and child to turn an infant into a marketable commodity for private adoption.
That's not a policeman, it's a 2 legged piece of shit in a costume.
They're the same picture.
Sen. Whitney Westerfield, a Republican from Fruit Hill who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee, was one of the bill’s more vocal opponents. When he learned of the citation against a woman in labor, he called it “deplorable.”
A Republican showing compassion? Is that allowed?

Next week they'll be calling him a RINO just wait.
It's enough for me to call him a RINO right now...
It's only because she wasn't having a miscarriage
There's always a "Republicans shocked to discovery what they vocally campaigned on would come to pass" headline in-between election cycles.
This Republican was a voice against it, however.
There is a minority of Republicans that have actual republican values and are being drowned out, similarly to the socialists within the democratic party.
Its rare to see one, they have to hide now, leaving the typical "Republican" as a far right soulless thing. But this might be an instance of it.
actual republican values
Actual Republican values are still deplorable. They are just more polite than what we've seen in recent years. The magats have done a great job of helping everyone to forget that R was never a friend to queer folks, minorities, women, nor anyone not white enough and Christian enough for them.

A Republican talking about compassion while actually showing none is allowed, and actually encouraged.
Definitely. Egregious lack of foresight they the police office didn't write two tickets. One for her and one for the child she was carrying. Life begins at conception so that fetus is as guilty as she is.
Lock it up! Lock it up!

No one’s crueler to the needy like the “Christians” from America’s Bible Belt states.
Paging St. Luigi to Kentucky, please. St. Luigi to Kentucky.
Anyone that would be that stupid to pull that act has got to be an idiot ..... and to know that all of it was being actively recorded on a body camera that could be accessed and requested later on .... this has got to be the dumbest idiot in a uniform to date.
and to know that all of it was being actively recorded on a body camera that could be accessed and requested later on
They've had decades if not centuries of cover, even since the introduction of bodycams. Actual scrutiny is new and rare, and they often seem not to care that they are being recorded. I think they are semi-consciously sure no one will care enough to look at the footage.
