Since they had a base in every corner of the globe with multiple outpost territories and a neo-colonial relationship with much of the developing world.
Did you read it? It primarily sources US provided figures and even states the methods to implement their stated goal in the area is unclear. It also addresses how tensions have been eased between the two countries. What more are you looking for? Regardless, doesn’t journalism by default always have some bias involved?
Unclear? I feel like it’s pretty obvious 99% of the times they move people around to raise tensions and intimidate others. The 1% of the times to actually start a war
What are you fucking talking about? The US moves the largest military in the history of the world, replete with nukes, banned munitions, chemical weapons, and a history of killing Innocents by the thousands including killing entire weddings and funerals in an attempt to kill single individuals, because of UNCLEAR reasons?
What the fuck else does it move forces around except for force projection against the global South from which it extracts trillions of dollars of wealth?
If police killings of the mentally ill are a systemic issue, then so is SAPD’s record of excessive violence. In 2018, an SAPD officer shot and killed Charles Roundtree Jr., an unarmed Black teenager. In 2016, Antronie Scott was shot and killed by an SAPD officer because the officer claimed he believed Scott was holding a gun; he wasn’t. Marquise Jones was shot in the back by an SAPD officer in 2014 as he was running away from a minor traffic accident. In 2020, Damian Daniels – who was experiencing an episode of PTSD – was shot and killed outside his own home by Bexar County Sheriff’s Office (the county where San Antonio is located) by deputies sent for a mental health check.
That three different officers on scene opened fire speaks to the lie of the “bad apple” narrative. As Perez’s family’s attorney explained, “We are not talking about a rogue officer who just lost his mind or got mad. We’re talking about three officers who thought it was OK to gun this woman down in her own house.” (kens5.com)
The sad factor of the matter is that in the US, unless you are in a gang, the person most likely to shoot you is probably a cop.
man what was going through their heads at that moment? “an unarmed woman has fled to her house and told us not to enter, let’s just fuckin kill her”??? I don’t think anything could ever justify this to be clear but what was even the thought process??? did she walk too close to her own damn window or something??
It’s no excuse, but their training is measured in weeks, not years. And it mostly consists of scaring them into thinking everyone who isn’t another cop is a direct and immediate threat to their lives and must be stopped with deadly force.
They are literally taught that everyone have concealed weapons and dream of killing cops.
Yeap. SAPD shoots and kills a handful of people a year, often times the body cam footage gets posted and nothing gets done. Hopefully things will be different this time, but damn. This is fucked.
