Still long ways to go. They murdered Eric Garner. All caught on tape and they still got off.
    Broken systems produce lots of bad cops and the good cops can't speak out against the bad. The culture is almost universally problematic.

    The use of tasers pretty much gave cops the right to never use their hands, or get dirty again It's a totally different mindset now.

    Amazing the guy was shooting 45 acp and it took so many rounds.

    You referring to Walter Scott, the guy who took a clip in the back because he was wanted for not paying his child support? So brilliant to kill him and let the taxpayers pay multiple millions to his kids in the civil settlement, which will be hudge. That'll teach those deadbeat dads. Y'all got targets on your backs now, mutherfukkers! This violation is not much of a step above unpaid speeding tickets. I bet we hear about some poor sap getting blown away for parking too close to a hydrant soon.

    The only reason deadly force is EVER justified is in the defense of a life. Someone running away is not a threat, unless they're running to attack someone which this cop has absolutely no reason to believe is what this guy is doing.
    You 2 need to work on your reading comprehension. (Sorry to use big words)

    "what do you expect from someone with the name "TomCrac." Hey man, post first, then smoke crack, okay?"

    WHAT ABOUT THE FASCISTS
    If they make enough laws, everyone is guilty.

    But we don't make laws by consensus. They get lobbied (paid for) and passed (by those who get paid) .
    So who the fuck is paying for this shit? I'm with DD on that one. We live in a fascist society.

    Please read your own quote and explain to me how we didn't comprehend you correctly. You are specifically saying here that this case is not a good one to champion human rights violations/police brutality. This case is about as good gets with NO arguements.

    Yes and no. He emptied most shots pretty haphazard. Then he paused to sight in on the object of his traffic stop, and executed the man.

    You might want to look up the word "specifically"

    What I was saying is that there are "better", "Cleaner", "Clearer" cases if you will. Cases where the victim didn't have sketchy stories about whos car they were driving, had proper paper work etc., Cases where the victim did not run. Cases where they did not get shot with a taser and still found a way to run. You know, cases where douchebag lawyers and crooked DA's wouldn't have an opportunity to make a bullshit defenses and get away with murder.

    As I stated earlier, "Not saying they deserved what they got", but when you see enough of these corrupt assholes walk because they had a hair to hang on to, it irks me this poor bastard gave them anything.

    Ploice chief says its just one bad cop, meanwhile 3 cops on the scene reported that they administered cpr and aid to the victim. Blatant lies. Second cop watches first cop drop the taser near the victim. yeah....that'll play nicely with the story they were going to concoct.

    I was wonder who makes these sorts of memes...typically they're right wing republitard stuff but the extreme liberal short bus can definitely contend.

    It really doesn't matter how dangerous it is. Cops sign up. The risks they take (are suppose to take?) to protect, keep order, uphold the law, etc, etc are part of the job.

    Would you rather an innocent fuck up die for their harmless but stupid actions potentially being misinterpreted or have the cop take the risks that he/she signed on for when they took the job as law enforcement officer?

    A lot of the jobs listed on that most dangerous job list don't provide the pay and benefits many cop jobs do, they certainly don't get the hero worship.

    what the Amazing Geraldo has to say on the matter. I don't know I spent most of the time watching his moustache. I think his moustache might be good candidate for a Muppet character.

    I'm also thinking that the ONLY reason the woman in the evocatively revealing short skirt is there is for the inherent sex appeal.

    at 1:50 you see a cop move out of the melee and then have to sit down he's so tired. he started beating the defenseless perp 20 seconds earlier. the force is in dire need of training so they properly give an illegal beatdown.

    There must be a half a dozen of them bent over puking. Rockets, rockets for the choppers are next.
