Your Government Pisses Me Off - That Doesn't Mean This Family Doesn't As Well

The article below details the arrest, detention and eventual death of a severely mentally ill, intellectually challenged homeless man for pointing his finger at police officers in a police station in a threatening manner. The behavior of the police and prison officials is unconscionable and indicative of a callous disregard for human life and dignity.

That a family that neglected this man just as severely is now self-righteously suing the city and may enrich themselves as a result of Your Government's behavior pisses me off even more.

I understand the monumental difficulties of dealing with a family member with severe disabilities, especially if you are of limited means. But the fact that he spent a year in jail physically deteriorating and his family apparently couldn't be bothered to check on him and realize that finding $100 for a bail bondsman to cover the $1000 bail and save his life ticks me off. The fact that NOW, when there is money to be made, they are sanctimonious aggrieved family members is incredibly hypocritical. I sincerely hope they plan on donating any winnings to charity...

Your Government Will Handcuff You Naked And Try To Cover It Up Because It Was The Wrong House

 "CBS 2's investigation shows that the raid on Young's home was completely avoidable if Chicago police had done the bare minimum to vet the information on the search warrant. The warrant was based on a tip from a confidential informant, who had provided the wrong address for a man suspected of having an illegal gun. The suspect lived next door to Young."

"Chicago police burst into the apartment of an innocent woman based on a faulty tip and handcuffed her while she was naked, forcing her to stand in full view of male officers as they searched her home, newly revealed body camera footage shows."

"Yesterday, after learning that CBS 2 had obtained the footage and was planning on airing it that night, the city of Chicago filed a motion to enjoin CBS 2 from running it, arguing it would violate the confidentiality order. The federal judge in Young's case rejected the motion on the grounds that CBS 2 was not a party to the case and not subject to the order."
