Brown signs legislation to protect minorities from racial profiling and excessive force

By Patrick McGreevy, Los Angeles Times

In the wake of national public anger over killings by police in New York, Ferguson, Mo., and elsewhere, landmark California legislation to protect minorities from racial profiling and excessive force won Gov. Jerry Brown’s signature Saturday.

At the same time, the governor issued a blunt warning against the proliferation of laws criminalizing behavior as he rejected a trio of proposals intended to bar the misuse of unmanned drones.

In a forceful veto message, Brown said lawmakers were unnecessarily complicating California’s criminal code, which he said had grown to more than 5,000 provisions “covering every conceivable form of human misbehavior.”

    What about protecting the whites? Last time I checked we are a minority in this state. And what about protecting the cops from violent criminals? His lunacy continues.

    Kits, there is SO much wrong with your above statement on SO many levels.

    But then 99.999999% of your comments fall into that category.

    Get a life dude!

    Kitty litter, please move to texas or arkansas, there you will find your kind…well, not sure you have a kind, maybe ilk is the better word to use. Look it up…

    All this does is create statistics and further layers of government and does nothing which liberals love to do, the substance is always missing. The senile one’s veto of a bill making it a felony to remove a court ordered GPS device for sex offenders was another example of his lunacy. Before he is gone who knows what this whack-job will come up with.

    I know who this justanass is…just another whack job finger pointer. He lives arount the corner from me, or maybe thats just his twin brother of another mother. Regardless another hateful teabag…

    Protecting the whites….that’s a good one. Except you’re serious.

    For liberals giving certain groups more rights is PC for them and they think it is good to use any reverse discrimination they can come up with. In this case the facts show that this new law will do nothing and was opposed by law enforcement who will have to now collect data and statistics without the required funding for it just to show the duped ones “something” was done when it is really nothing that was done.

    Justice please elaborate on what you mean by the statement “giving certain groups more rights is PC”. Are you saying that by not using the color of a person’s skin as the only reason to pull someone over thereby diminishes YOUR rights as a white person?

    WOW! That’s some seriously messed up logic.

    He keeps on drinking the flavor aide, the flavor is liars lime…

    Giving groups, like people illegally in the country convicted of numerous crimes the right to stay, receive welfare, and get out of jail free and vote for liberals, is one of the senile lunatic’s disasters and is total reverse discrimination. The other groups are criminals being let out by the tens of thousands early and not having to disclose on job applications they are criminals and the list goes on and on including the veto of the sex offender bill that is insane.

    Once again Justice instead of answering a simple question you reply with useless rhetoric that has nothing to do with the question asked.

    Well, no one can accuse you of being inconsistent. You can be accused of being always wrong, but never inconsistent.

  12. Kits Carson says - Posted: October 5, 2015

    Justice: Maybe the senile goat could use some of the Illegal fire TAX money he is now sitting on for that research. There are millions of our extorted money that was never used for Fire prevention. What a surprise.

    Bigger: “Are you saying that by not using the color of a person’s skin as the only reason to pull someone over….”
    You have obviously never been in the ‘front’ seat of a Police car. You should research before you dribble even more ignorance.

  13. Justice says - Posted: October 5, 2015

    Right 300 million laying around and how many homes burned down? How much brush clearing did Calfire do on state property where are the refunds for fire fees? For discrimination starters if you are a US citizen legally in the country you are being discriminated against when illegals under the senile Jerry plan can take jobs and be paid far less, pay no income taxes, work under the table, get out of jail free and not be deported contrary to US Law and also vote and receive your tax dollars in welfare against your wishes, it is called tyranny and treason. Senile Jerry also was the one who had the racial quotas in place for state hiring for years until the Supreme court threw them out. Next question?

    uh-oh…here comes the “Kits and Justice poor rich white people apology porn parade”…gross. Just clean up the toilet when when you’re done…..I’m out!

  15. Biggerpicture says - Posted: October 5, 2015

    Kit’s, have YOU been in the front seat of a police car, not counting some silly ride along for George Zimmerman wannabes?
