Police Behaving Badly

And then there’s this, out of Baltimore:

“Cops carried toy guns to plant in people they shot.” For fuck sake.....

I guess it takes one to catch one.

Near the end of the story:

86 people fatally shot by police in 2015 and 2016 who were spotted carrying toy guns.

This guy in Minnesota dragged a fucking cop with his truck while fleeing police, hit the cop in the head with a hammer, and was arrested without incident.....Guess what color he was???

holy shit.

I thought I couldn't be surprised anymore. But damn.... That's fucked up on a whole next level. They need to run the serial/UPC numbers on every single toy gun in evidence from those murders, if they exist, and trace their purchasing.

Ran. Got away. .... So the question of the day. Why was he pulled over. In his mom's car?

Funny, wasn't that you who drove your mom's car drunk without a license, crashed and bailed out only to go get it the next morning? Or am I mixing up the time you rolled the Jeep into the creek?

Time for a new incident to chew on

Shall we do the video of Chicago police murdering Adam Toledo today?
Or would you rather opine in that old lady with dementia in Loveland who had her shoulder broken for forgetting to pay for some groceries and being told not to go back in to pay?

Maybe she had a toy gun on her?

Chicago about to go through some things.....CPD shoots unarmed 13 year old and kills him:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/15/us/ad...era/index.html

On PBS they are saying kid had tossed the gun and had his hands up. I'm sure we'll hear more.

I'd like to trace the origin of the kid's weapon from manufacturer on down until it was in his hands.

[Core Shot]

A local friend, not besties, but we share the Chicago experience, told me at thirteen his momma gave him a nine and a bag of coke to sell. Shits way different in the hood. Fortunately for him he left the thug life.

Not that that cop was right to shoot a kid or an adult running away. Fuck.

[Hopeless Sinner]

snip....

The kid stopped running and was raising his hands as ordered, then killed........that's why everyone runs from cops.

[Benny Profane]

Damn. This didn't work.

I eventually watched the video. Fuckkkk
Hands up don’t shoot for sure. Not a threat.

[Cono Este]

Bonus Points to Officer Fatso holding his gun sideways, like some Mexican Cartel gangster. Is that really acceptable police training ? Any range I’ve been to, you would get laughed at unmercileslly for holding a gun like that.

There was that police shooting in AZ a few yrs back where they were yelling the same orders. It was in a hotel, guy was a pest control guy, some idiot reported seeing him with a rifle, it was an air gun.

Cops shotnhim dead, on his knees in the hallway.

Gun gets pulled on me, I’d never move an inch. I’ll hold my hands up all night.

Yeah that worked well for the kid right?

[seano732]

Edit to add.

Say his name.

Adam Toledo.

He had his hands up, cop asks him to get on knees. Moves his hands down by waist, which one must do to kneel - blam, dead.

[old goat]

I know police training isn't great but surely they must teach cops how to get someone to get themselves out of a car or get down on their knees
without the cop being afraid the guy is going for a gun. Or that when you scream insanely at someone they're likely to get flustered and do the wrong thing.

Maybe cops need to learn to project calm authority, you know, like the dog whisperer.

[Benny Profane]

Holy crap. We really are in end times.

This. There’s a phenomenon known as Auditory Exclusion. Hearing goes on mute in stress situations. Sorta like tunnel vision.

Citizens don’t hear a yelling cop - they just see an angry guy with a gun whose lips are moving. There is a metric fuckton of literature on this.

And yet cops continue to yell. Only rationale for it I can see is the cop is trying to project overwhelming force - part of the mindset that they have to subdue, with deadly force if needed, anyone they deem a miscreant.

Which has been shown to be ineffective all.the.fucking.time.

this libertarian rag had some info about traffic stops i was looking for yesterday. apparently the data about them being dangerous to police goes back to one study in 1964. actual fatalities to police are like one in seven million. but here they are, every day, completely terrified of every interaction.

make police interactions rare again.

As far as the job being very dangerous...

Even more amazing is they are paying millions to training consultants to have this driven into their brains.

paying consultants to tell you want you want to hear is why consultancy exists

When I hear someone yelling like that I don't think overwhelming force, I think fear. Or maybe the cops watch too much tv--the most common words out of a TV cop's mouth are "Move and I'll blow you're head off". (Add "fucking" if it's a movie.)
