Lt. Matthew Furman of the Melvindale Police Department in Michigan has become the face of the kind of officer many fear—one who uses his authority to target, mistreat, and intimidate Black individuals. Despite being involved in several controversial incidents over the years, Furman has continued to rise through the ranks.
Bodycam footage paints a disturbing picture of Furman as a domineering officer who seems to take satisfaction in tasering and arresting Black citizens even when there’s no clear threat to his safety.
His internal records show a pattern of misconduct. Over the last 12 years, Furman has faced suspensions, termination, lawsuits, and even criminal charges.
Every cop’s face is the face of officers I fear. They’re all that kind.
They’re either that kind of officer or they stand by and allow that kind of officer to continue unopposed. Who can we turn to for justice when the police are the problem? ACAB.
Lt. Matthew Furman is currently on administrative leave.
He has a laundry list and he still has a badge and gun.
Oh, that’s fine. It’s just black people. Nobody cares about them, right?
I mean what’s wrong with giving a cop a gun, and just waiting out the public backlash? He’s still getting paid, so don’t worry about the system changing. He’ll just get a nice little paid vacation, and in two weeks you’ll forget all about him because trump will make some new attention grabbing headline, like introducing a new ICE task force that targets these criminals before they even grow up. Arrest them as toddlers, I say.
Now, if you’ve made it this far you’re feeling one of two ways. You’re either angry at everything I’ve said. In which case congradulations, you feel empathy and aren’t racist.
If on the other hand you found yourself nodding along, and agreeing with me, please take this moment to book yourself a skydiving lession. Don’t bother to pay for the parachute. You won’t be needing that you human garbage waste of skin. You know toasters and bathtubs are your best friend!
Cops are just city/state sponsored gangs, and this is coming from non maga trump voter
You had me until non maga trump voter. Could you differentiate the two? Because trump made maga, it wasn’t around before him.
You’re a fucking moron.
I mean, at least give me valid criticism before you stoop to middle school name calling…
Clearly your head is too far up your ass to hear any criticism if you don’t think shipping people to labor camps is a bridge to far. You’re probably just a pathetic little troll but ethier way the world will be better without people like you in it.
Why would you vote for Trump, if you are not Maga?
‘im a Nazi but I dont wear the armband’
Ok
I’m more confused by the idea of a admitting trump voter being on Lemmy.
I mean, I’m not saying Lemmy is an isolationist platform that forbids them. But at the same time, it’s kind of like going to a house party attended almost exclusively by people who hate you.
I’m just not afraid of bandwagoning and witch hunting, and don’t really care enough to join the Fox News, X, and Daily Wire echo chamber
Plus defederated social medias are neato
I’m just not afraid of bandwagoning and witch hunting
Clearly you vote for it.
“Hello fellow children”
I guess, idk what the avg age on Lemmy is
Economics and Gun Policy, a but of buyers remorse as of late but I can’t change it now so I going to just bide my time and grit my teeth until next election, like I will do with all upcoming elections.
There’s not going to be a next election at this rate.
You voted for fascism.
Ok
How’s that “economics” thing working out for ya?
Pretty good, my chickens are making bank
