The five New Haven police officers were charged with second-degree reckless endangerment and cruelty to persons.

The officers turned themselves in at a state police barracks Monday. Each was processed, posted a $US25,000 bond and are due back in court on December 8, according to a news release from state police. Messages seeking comment were sent to attorneys for the officers. The case has drawn outrage from civil rights advocates like the NAACP, along with comparisons to the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore. Gray, who was also Black, died in 2015 after he suffered a spinal injury while handcuffed and shackled in a city police van.

Why do you report the colour of his skin in this and yet not in the Walmart shooting? How do you decide when and when not to use skin colour. Ah, yeah, when it drives your agenda 🤦🏼‍♀️

So the officers are on paid leave and will most likely get a wrist slap because is not a felony charge.

Inside the 'black economy' where Australians' stolen data is selling for $1ABC Investigation uncovers large swathes of confidential material widely available on the open internet, ranging from sensitive contracts to privileged legal advice about a student's death. No shit!! And they want everything to go digital, absolutely crazy. Not to mention all the control these elites want. Thank goodness Google is publishing these crimes or we wouldn't know what organisations have lousy data protection. Why are you suggesting they are complicit in the crime? Instead of just repeatedly reporting that our mygov details have been stolen and are being sold in the 'black economy', it would nice if the ABC could tell us something about the theft - when it happened, etc. We've had no notification from myGovau about any data breaches.
