New Jersey prosecutors drop charges over tweeting a cop's photo [Updated]:

Update (~4pm ET): Mid-afternoon on Friday, August 7, the Essex County Prosecutor's Office dropped its cyber harassment charges against all five defendants, the Asbury Park Press reports. These charges stemmed from an incident involving a Tweet attempting to identify a New Jersey police officer. Our original story on the situation appears unchanged below.

A New Jersey man is facing felony charges for a tweet seeking to identify a police officer. Four others are facing felony charges for retweeting the tweet, the Washington Post reports.

[...] The complaint against Sziszak claims that the tweet caused the officer to "fear that harm will come to himself, family, and property."

"As a 20 year old that simply retweeted a tweet to help my friend, I am now at risk of giving up my career, serving time, and having a record," Sziszak wrote.

    My point is that you're never going to solve the problem trying to give cops sensitivity training or by creating politically protected identities. The problem, under the current reality, is that they are given the power to violate anyone's rights. Take that shit away and it gets fairer for everyone and you can start weeding out the totally bad cops a lot easier. Not that i think there's much chance this country can be saved as it is currently formulated.

    That last stat you quoted is fucking retarded.

    I think trying to fix the USA is probably a lost cause. Whites gave that country away already through ignorance and greed. All of the race related stuff will never be solved until we have ethnostates. Nature split the races/breeds for a reason. Probably to create specialization and at some point the groups didn't get along anymore. Here we are thousands of years later trying to cram them back together again at the behest of supranational financial elite hell bent on destroying what's left of once budding free societies: White societies.

    Look at the demographics, and get real, people!

    Unless you subscribe to the view that the whites never had legal claim to the land in the first place? Just sayin'.

    Ah yes! Nothing screams "utopia" like kicking out all the black and brown people no matter how brilliant or productive, while making plenty of room for every white thief, rapist, drug dealer, and murderer.

    And I like how your solution to racist behavior by cops is to say "Well, let's just give them everything they want, and racism will be over, yay!" After all, that plan worked out so well for Neville Chamberlain, right?
