Controversial opinion: If they were actually inebriated and driving, they deserved it.
Cops don't hold that authority (and I'm guessing this was ACAB material), but king for a day, DUIs would carry the death penalty. Fuck drunk drivers. I'm all for full legalization of all drugs, but if your habit puts my life at risk, bye.
He was charged with "suspicion of DWI" and the timeline to when he was known to be at home washing his car and being arrested was 1 hour.
So, apologies if I don't believe a word the Texas Ranger pigs say about what happened.
Controversial opinion: Anyone in favour of the death penalty should be forced to undergo it before inflicting it on others.
Sorry mate, the comment you're replying to was already removed by the mod (me). With Lemmy, that means your reply (and my reply to your reply) are invisible to the world. It's a pity though — loved your retort. :)
Interesting, I can see all 3 comments on kbin.social.
Cool and good to know. I'm still figuring out how Lemmy works... when Lemmy works...
So someone who_might_ have been driving under the influence should immediately be killed? You sound like a child.
Did you read the article? Cause your comment seems to imply that you didn't.
The timeline shows Jesus Garcia was washing his vehicle Sunday at around 6 p.m. before he was placed in Alton police custody one hour later.
and
Carlos Garcia released photos of his client — Jesus “Jesse” Garcia — who he said was arrested Sunday evening by the Alton Police Department on Sunday evening on a charge of suspicion of DWI.
He was taken into police custody on SUSPICION of a DWI while WASHING HIS CAR.
DWI accusation aside (innocent until proven guilty and all that) there is ZERO fucking reason someone should be beaten and die in police custody. They aren't judge, jury, and executioner. So yes, ACAB.
