In one of the only instances in recent history in which a Vermont cop has been sent to jail for something they did on-duty, fired SAPD cop Jason Lawton has been sentenced to a whole *three months* for beating Amy Connelly in 2019: sevendaysvt.com/vermont/form…

This photo was posted to FB today. Unsure what happened yet, but 2 BPD cop cars got in a serious crash around 4 at N. St. and N. Champlain. Sounds like a third car was involved too. Hopefully that person is okay. BPD has a bad track record lately of recklessly endangering people
A photo showing two heavily damaged cop cars at the corner of North Street and North Champlain. One is on the curb, has heavy rear end damage, and the airbags are deployed; the other has heavy front-end damage. There is a fire truck in the background and two cops are standing in the middle of the road. There is snow on the ground.

Made the mistake of getting in a debate with those NYC parking snitches who claim the reason they are reporting random people to the police for obscuring their license plates, is to hold the police accountable 🙄
