:frown:
montage of arguably (and some inarguably) bad shoots (and straight up murders) by cops. dont watch if you dont want to see that stuff.
I think americans should be rioting and smashing and burning crap way more often. ferguson just had the balls.
looks like arizona is probably worse than missouri.
-
in several they go through the insane ritual of handcuffing and "arresting" the person they just killed. absolutely surreal.

I totally agree there should be more rioting over cases like this.

I watched until they shot the guy getting out of the truck. When his wife came out, and the way they barked at her. Too much.
I took the time to read the news stories of the first four or so videos. The reasons for deadly force a so weak in some. I get that if you have a knife and police tell you to drop it and you don't you're going to get capped, but these guys are shooting people on the hunch they may be strapped and asking questions later.
These are just shootings. What about plain old brutality? It almost seems like it's better for the cop to just shoot than face possible assault charges.

I think the big takeaway is officers are trained incorrectly, whether a suspect is armed or not.
-
We cannot have a society in which police are held to a different standard of conduct than the rest of us.

I'm not sure training is the issue, but more must be better.
There needs to be civil liability
-
Due to the position of power and responsibility they have over the population, they need to be held to an even higher standard.
-
And violations of the trust punished more harshly.

I would push for different training, not more. (and maybe more, too, but definitely different.) And yeah, a little accountability would be nice.

We need to appoint a special prosecutor in Kansas whose sole purpose is to prosecute cops in these types of cases and to audit police stations for corruption. Take this stuff out of the hands of the DAs who want nothing to do with it.

WTF was the hospital thinking? A woman is vomiting blood and has vomited dozens of times, but you are just going to give her fluids and send her back to a jail cell? If anything, they are more liable than the police here.

Get used to these stories making national waves every week for the foreseeable future. It's going to get ugly, but may just turn out for the best.
We know this happens a lot. It just hasn't been heavily covered on much more than a local level until now. I remember all four of these incidents from working in Wichita this summer.

Of course, while related to the topic, only one of these guys didn't have a weapon, and he allegedly almost ran over the cop with his car.

Another pillar of the community just being a good person murdered by cops who just want to kill black men.
-
Most police agencies are forced to adopt a hiring preference for military vets. I respect vets, but their military training is more along the lines of a "us vs. them" mentality than a community service mentality. A lot of really good officers have left law enforcement because of how this is playing out.

i guess this got promoted up due to its relevance with some mom calling the cops on her ten year old to teach him a lesson.
parents do this all the time and their kid gets shot like 75% of the time i think

It's pretty funny to see people who live in McKinney's reaction to this. 100% of the blame is on the media.

I hadn't watched that until now, but holy crap that cop doing a barrel roll at the start of the video.

that cop wanted to shoot someone SO BAD.

Was he actually doing a "badass cop barrel roll" or was it a "tripped and attempt to hurt myself less on the fall barrel roll"??

Man, what a massive bad person. Even when he pulled the guns, his cop bros were embarassed. "Sorry about my friend, I promise he's not always like this much of an bad person, he's just had too much to drink."

Last night a bunch of hip-hop hunchers tried to get into radio station sponsored concert without paying. Everyone went ballistic and their riot genes kicked in when police tried to stop them from entering. Even ticket holders went beserk. Police did not kill anyone. That is good.

I mean, he tripped right?
-
so, coincidence that the scantily clad 14 year old that he spent half the video draped over is beautiful?
-
It's sort of surprising that he was able to pull off that barrel roll without shooting himself in the process, really.
-
I hope he's reprimanded for those white socks too. :Yuck:
-
There should be a minimum height requirement to be a cop because that guy has a serious case of Little Man Syndrome. Also probably roids.
-
Cop flop. A oscar Weber coordination drill.

How many times has he applied to be a Texas Ranger?

this guy should get a reality show on E! where he charges into everyday situations and physically escalates the crap out of them. City Council meetings, PTO chili feeds, U10 soccer tournaments, etc.

Facebook friends and family – PLEASE HELP! That (now viral) video of the officer in McKinney subduing a girl in a bathing suit was in OUR neighborhood. The situation was NOT what is being reported…
A DJamer setup in a public space next to the private pool in our neighborhood on Friday and played loud explicit (F-bomb) music for multiple hours (it is unclear if he was invited by a resident as no one has claimed responsibility). The teenagers (both black and white) were being brought into our neighborhood by the carload because the DJamer was tweeting out invites to a “pool party” for $15 (obviously unauthorized by our neighborhood). The teens began fighting with each other and pushing their way into our private pool. Some were jumping our fence. The security guard was accosted when he tried to stop the beginnings of this mob scene. Some residents who live around the park/pool area tried to come out and settle things down. The teens started yelling racial slurs at our neighbors and started assaulting people and property (throwing bottles at cars and attacking a mother at the pool with 3 young children). The first officer on the scene was by himself. At that time, the party had grown to a large, aggressive crowd. As the officer arrived, many teens started running through our neighborhood. Many of the teens were being very aggressive and yelling at the officers as more arrived.
This was a very dangerous situation for the officers AND the teens/residents not involved. The news media has refused to hear the neighborhood’s side of this story. The video being distributed is only a very small segment of what happened. This information being distributed by the media and others is extremely distorted and in some cases outright lies.
PLEASE HELP US STOP THE BROADCASTING OF THIS IGNORANCE. The media is trying to make it look like our neighborhood is a white’s only, racist area. Anyone who has spent even a few minutes in our area knows this is an outright LIE.
The unfortunate result is that our neighbors are now being threatened. We have also had cars and property in and around the park area vandalized this weekend. Unfortunately, the press and social media are trying to enflame the situation.
I am asking for your help for my family and my neighbor’s safety…PLEASE, PLEASE do not rebroadcast any of these lies.
I'm not friends with this guy but apparently a lot of people on news feed are.
-
I just noticed that guy's post has over 45,000 shares.
-
I read that this party was crashed. Reported that Uninvited kids climbed the fence around the pool causing the trouble. Also read that some homes and cars were vandalized the next evening. The WHOLE story should be reported!!!
Some of yall ate missing the point. Teenagers disrespectful to adults and police officers. Teenagers who were out of control. No supervision. As a parent I would of kicked my kids ass for acting like that. I didn't bring my kids up to disrespect their elders or law enforcement. If those kids had respect in the first place those officers would of act differently. Here this people. No one was punched or shot by officers. This is good thing. But parents coming out and saying " Oh don't touch my baby, Don't hurt my baby....!!!!! You had no right to touch my kid!!!!! " BS!!!! THEY DID! Kids get away with too much crap these days. Parents need to evaluate their own children and change their way of thinking and teach them right from wrong. My kids have NEVER disrespected anybody nor have they never been in trouble with the law.
Everyone wants this to be another "white cop black victim" story. It's simple, obey the law and everything will be fine. I'm sure everyone saw the "mother of the year" in Baltimore slapping the crap out of her want to be thug son. Where were the parents of these kids??? Most of the time when you are doing something you shouldn't be doing or somewhere you shouldn't be there are going to be consequences and it doesn't matter what color you are. GROW UP AND MAKE SMART DECISIONS AND NOTHING LIKE THIS WILL HAPPEN!
Every story has two sides. We are only hearing
about the Video which was taken after the Young Criminals had been asked to leave. They were Provoking the Police and DISRESPECTING the Police and the Neighborhood.
That's A CRIME.
Fox 4 and ALL MEDIA who
is ONLY sharing the Video
of the Police Officer
pushing the YOUNG GIRL to the ground.
.Tell ALL the People
RESPECT THE POLICE
they are ONLY doing their job
WE ALL NEED TO RESPECT
THE LAW .
When You DISOBEY the law
You become a CRIMINAL.
The media absolutely feeds off of situations like this. It is irresponsible reporting to only report one side of an event. It is also ridiculous that every situation turns into a racial debate. Does it really matter what skin tone someone has? If the kids would have followed orders of authority, this would have been prevented.
Parents need to teach their children respect.....that includes respecting the police. Mouthing back at a cop is a bad decision....anyone with any common sense knows that, white or black or purple.
Simple fact you obey officer commands and do not argue. I don't care about your race. And if you were running you were in the wrong because if you were not you would have stayed and answered police questions and then been sent on your way SIMPLE.
The point of sharing this is to show that not everything is what it seems. Media wants it to be a race thing. And therefore will not discuss or show or interview others who will disprove that. For sure the cop was wrong yes. But those kids and the DJamer were wrong. Why is it we only want to gripe about the cop but not gripe about the disrespectful teen punks who vandalized property at a neighborhood they shouldn't have been in the first place!!! Why is it always the cops that are bad and no one wants to acknowledge the terrible behavior of the teenagers?!
The news media will do and say anything for a story to get people riled up. I thought journalism was to report the truth. ..but in the wake of all the racial unrest in this country, they are trying to capitalize on making the police look bad, no matter what the cost.
Again it comes down to respect. If the young girl would have listened to police office the first time would have not being talking back then she would have not be in that situation point blank and then she was fighting him. S.m.d.h teach your kids to listen. And as far as him drawing his gun I would of did the same thing as for the youth boys were come up from behind him.
-
This boils down to one word, RESPECT. Did the news media RESPECT their viewers enough to report an unbiased view of the ENTIRE story and not just go for "sensationalism?" No! Did those kids RESPECT the rights of others to enjoy a peaceful time with their families and friends without being subjected to uninvited kids, loud, raucious, f-bomb dropping music? No! Did the girl who was thrown to the ground, or any of the others there, RESPECT the voices of authority and do what they were told? No!
Bottom line: You have to give RESPECT to get RESPECT.
That pendulum swings both ways!
Some people just like to be in the media with everything that has been going on with COPS AND Hispanics white and African Americans my question is Where were all the parents!!! People just need to learn to keep their mouth shut and listen to authority I'm sorry I'm not racist but from my point of view that girl new what would happen is she didn't keep her mouth shut but like always they like to be in the media and get that attention she's getting now. She put her self in an adult situation so she was handled like one disrespecting an adult figure more less and Officer. Cmon get over it

I've never seen smh done with periods, it's a nice touch.

My FAVORITE is the use of caps.
-
the one where RESPECT is the word in all caps throughout drives home the point that the person thinks that these damn kids should have some RESPECT. then they use it on ENTIRE and it kind of draws attention away from the theme, which is RESPECT.

disrespectful little bad ass white kids get in trouble for doing hood rat things all the time! sorry we fail to make a huge deal of it, normally the biggest deal is they go home and get a good old fashion ass whoopin that gets their asses back in check rather than someone excusing the behavior using race as a crutch!
-
i can't wait until my kids start acting bad so i can beat the rough ridin' crap out of them in order to make them good again. stupid little fuckers, serves them right.

-
now when this guy gets asked in the locker room how many 14 year old girls he thinks he could beat up at once, he will be able to confidently answer "just slightly over 1"
-
being a cop is not for the faint of heart. being a hero means making the tough calls.
-
he's brave enough not to think it's wrong to do what he did or care.

sometimes when heroes do what needs to be done they pay a price for their actions. #moreheroic #martyr

it didn't look like she was really trying though. so inconclusive.
-
When you need a police officer to come to your neighborhood and physically subdue an 8th grade girl who weighs 110, maybe even 115 pounds, he's your guy.
-
again, i'm not sure how effective he is, but he's going to try really rough ridin' hard and i'd wager really enjoy it. and i do like to see folks giving max effort and really loving their chosen vocations. so i'd probably call for those reasons.
-
i'm looking forward to the opportunity to be an excellent parent is what i'm saying.
telling everyone online about how majorly hard you are on your kids is very satisfying

I was expecting to see something bad, and oh man it was bad. Guy tries to keep his door closed and the cop reacts by shooting him in the head. What in the eff. It's the mentality of these cops that needs to change. These cops see black people (and people in general) and they think "guilty until proven innocent".
-
Man it sure is a good thing that cop is protecting local citizens from the heinous crime of not having a front license plate. I mean JFC that is straight up murder.
-
At some point someone is going to grow a rough ridin' brain and 1. get a training program in place, and 2. quit hiring the personality type that is doing this.
-
he would have been scott free w/o the body cam. Probably would have been a bigger dickhead and shot the poor guy sooner.

I'd like you to articulate your point so I can pick it apart.
edit: I don't think I really need to. CNS hit the most important points. Any officer with actual training would have made their intentions clear before trying to open the door of the vehicle. That was the biggest clusterfuck of a traffic stop that I've ever laid eyes upon.

He didn't have his driver's license on him, but I don't think that the death penalty is an acceptable punishment for that.

I'm honestly really torn on this. When I heard the DA's comments I thought for sure it would be an open and shut case, but I'm not so sure. I will say I am a cop apologist in 99% of the cases to get that out of the way.
I think this video literally shows the act was one second too late from being a "clean shoot" and one second too early to be murder. This great little site allows you to move this video frame by frame to see (kinda) when stuff really occurs. And it allows you to go in slower speeds.

I have to run and I'll be back for more, since I know many will think I'm insane. I would urge people to look at 1:52-1:56. Notice the car being started and put into gear. But also notice how the cop has his gun out in literally one second 1:54 if I recall, with the death at 1:55. I haven't seen an un-edited (gore warning that is) video yet, which I think it necessary to get a better understanding of the shot/how far they moved/and whether or not the grappled in the car.

I'm honestly really torn on this. When I heard the DA's comments I thought for sure it would be an open and shut case, but I'm not so sure. I will say I am a cop apologist in 99% of the cases to get that out of the way.

What would have made this a "clean shoot" 1 second earlier? As far as I can tell, the only thing that could have made this a clean shoot would be a body cam malfunction.

You flipped that around, but not a big deal. What I mean is that if the shot if fired one second later, the cop has probably been dragged 10+ feet with the guy alive driving, trying to get away, thus excusable imo. One second earlier and the car isn't on, not in gear, and a blatant criminal act.
A few big thing people need to think about from my point of view:
Is a cop supposed to stop a fleeing suspect from a legitimate arrest/detainment by hanging on to a car?
Is a car a deadly weapon during a fleeing attempt? (Ohio statue isn't really clear here)
Is being dragged by a car an assault with a deadly weapon?
I think these 3 points are very open for debate and color how you see this interaction.

Also if I understand things correctly with the timeline the other cop who supported the events in Cinci and probably wasn't in a position to view them should be charged with multiple crimes. I would also be in favor of a felon level law with probably a 10 year minimum for official misconduct/breaking the public trust law that would apply to the other officer's false report.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_v._Garner
Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)[1], was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that, under the Fourth Amendment, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, he or she may not use deadly force to prevent escape unless "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others."
Also, I'm betting that failing to display a front license plate is not considered a felony in Ohio.

so dragging a cop with your car isn't using it (the car) as a weapon? these are the hard questions that need to be answered.
-
What video are you watching?
-
The guy starts the car. The cop leverages himself in a manner to keep himself in front of the window while he draws his gun and executes the driver. Simple as that.

For how long has that cop wanted to shoot someone?

The cop didn't seem to be leveraging crap. It looked like he planned to unbuckle the seat belt himself. How stupid can you get(the cop, not SDK). That alone should be proof the cop didn't feel threatened.
Also, the union saying he should be reinstated should make the members of that union revolt. I certainly wouldn't want someone like that in a pro org I belonged to. the union really needs to understand when to step back and not associate.

keep in mind he was moving to arrest the guy, who was totally at fault for escalating the interaction attempting to flee. I mean people need to step back and examine all the facts and who is escalating the conflict and take a hard look at the timing of things.
-
I'm generally on the side of the law, but in this case I do believe it wasn't justified to pull his weapon. He was going to leave the scene, but the cop had no reason to believe the guy was a threat to anyone, and he had no reason to believe his life was in danger. No weapon and was never threatened or physically attacked. He needed to get back in his car and follow the suspect.

there's a difference between dragging and a dumbass trying to hold on to a moving vehicle.

The second tape from the other officers body cam has a minute long convo between the two where the shooter keeps telling the other cop he was being dragged and thought he was going get run over and the other cop kept saying "I know I saw that are you ok?". Really eerie like they were acting for the camera to somehow justify what had just occured.
-
I saw that tape ww,it was really poor acting,their department needs to hire a new acting coach.Also i would think it would be hard to pull your gun and reach up through the window for a head shot while being dragged.

Did you watch the video without audio or something? The cop couldn't have been a bigger dick.
-
The guy tried to "flee" because he could tell he was in a dangerous situation. Which he obviously was. It's real easy to say just be calm and follow orders, (which the guy did for quite a while) but when cops are blasting black men left and right you can see why a black man getting stopped for, well, anything, could fear for his life.
-
Are cops reeeaaaally blasting black men left and right? I found this link. http://killedbypolice.net/
Then I clicked through 10 random links inside this page. 7 of them were without question justified, the other 3 were where a guy got in a car accident with a police car, some guy on drugs who died in custody, and another guy on drugs who jumped out of an ambulance (lol).
Media is still using this link to push their cops kill black people narrative. If anything this link shows police face a ton of crap (other times they get into crap wasn't included if nobody died). So why push them when they're already on an edge?

He wasn't "fleeing", he tried to stay in his car because he was confused why the cop wanted to forcefully remove him from the car for a missing front license plate. When the guy put his hand on the door to stop from being yanked out of the car and tried to ask the cop why he needed to get out of the car for such a small violation, the cop pulled his gun and executed him. The reason the car moved was because the guy was DEAD and his foot pressed down on the gas from being DEAD.

He was fleeing. He started up the car before he got shot. The cop went nuts when he put the car in gear.

I considered starting the car and putting the car in drive to be the start of an attempt to flee.

It seems obvious to me that the guy was going to try and drive off. It doesn't seem obvious that the cop was about to be dragged to death.

Really? Are you trying to use the potential imminence as a justification for of an action that has legal precedence specifically stating that officers cannot use deadly force for it? While at the same time not stepping back and examining the recent national context of police officer conduct on our communities? In what world is anything that young man did equatable to the escalation of an immediate execution? GTFO
You think you're being reasonable, but it's really only bias. Every time this happens, and it happens a lot, people try to over-analyze the situation to justify the officer's actions when cumulative data tells us there's a larger, real problem going on in America and it's not terrorism or some farming community living on a large oil deposit in the Middle-East...it's our own policing culture (among others).
*Note: Out of all the officers I've met in Kansas, 98% were good people. Hell, one is a good buddy, but he has kind of echoed this same thing to me...there's a culture of "us vs. them".

His acting buddy should be fired too.

You guys don't need to try and justify what the victim did or didn't do here, the cop was wrong and the video is all the proof you need. The fact is he refused to turn over his driver's license, so he was probably going to be frisked. He started the car and put it in gear which would indicate he was going to flee the scene. The guy would be alive if he cooperated with the cop.

This is just naive that its almost impossible respond to. Remove him from his car for a license plate? Did you watch any of the video? Did you notice the guys failure to produce a license that is required to be with the driver? Did you notice the bottle of booze? Did you not hear the multiple lawful commands? It's like cop haters intentionally ignore 90% of the facts in order to convict a cop just because they wear a badge.

He wasn't "fleeing", he tried to stay in his car because he was confused why the cop wanted to forcefully remove him from the car for a missing front license plate. When the guy put his hand on the door to stop from being yanked out of the car and tried to ask the cop why he needed to get out of the car for such a small violation, the cop pulled his gun and executed him. The reason the car moved was because the guy was DEAD and his foot pressed down on the gas from being DEAD.
This is just naive that its almost impossible respond to. Remove him from his car for a license plate? Did you watch any of the video? Did you notice the guys failure to produce a license that is required to be with the driver? Did you notice the bottle of booze? Did you not hear the multiple lawful commands? It's like cop haters intentionally ignore 90% of the facts in order to convict a cop just because they wear a badge.
The cop shot someone in the head and killed him instantly. In what world is that the appropriate action for dealing with a dude that didn't have his DL and an unopened bottle of booze? This cop used zero % of his training (if he even had much training, being a campus cop and all)

People are convicting this cop because he shot a man in the head for putting his car into gear.
Yeah it was only for putting his car into gear, nothing else. A little bit of personal responsibility is not required living in civil society.
True. He also was missing a license plate and may have had an expired driver's license. Oh, and he had an unopened bottle of booze in the vehicle.

Agreed. All citizens should be treated as hostile and guilty until proven innocent. The cop in Memphis should have already had his gun drawn, and every cop in America should do the same thing.

The cop did execute him. His bodycam filmed it. I guess if you are a psychopath, you could say that the rest of the footage justifies the execution.

How does it debunk his story? The fact is I'm sure he thought that Dubose was fleeing as he shot him. I'm also sure he thought he was being dragged. That doesn't invalidate his perception, but it does show his perception was wrong. Further there is a pretty good argument that he was dragged slightly. And as facetious as that sounds, how long does a cop need to be dragged before they are under threat of bodily harm from a deadly weapon? Stop and think about that and maybe Michigan can think about that point as well. Many are ducking what the actual statutes say about assaults with a deadly, but that is the key issue here.

And that absurd to think that cops need to be dragged around the hood for a minimum "x" laps before they can respond, because that is what you're advocating. The cop used fair, polite, firm commands to get what was legally required to drive. The guy became combative and chose to escalate the situation through rhetoric and actions. The cop never raised his voice and politely ordered the guy out of the vehicle (another lawful order). None of that is being "trained as warriors" as you claim. The best critique you have is that he should have got back in his car to initiate a pursuit through a neighborhood, and think about how stupid that sounds.

Look you can make a legitimate critique about concerns of too many vets applying their .mil background to police work and the use of .mil tech in general policing. But you can't apply those concerns to this stop. It's rough ridin' foolish to say that this cop wasn't reasonable up to the point of the struggle. Don't want front plate laws, talk to the legislature. It's a primary offense and a reasonable stop in high crime neighborhoods. http://spotcrime.com/oh/cincinnati
I would ask this: what else do you believe the cop should have done up to the point of reaching in the car door? Lets just start their. In no way, IMO, can you say he wasn't polite, firm, but fair with his requests and demeanor.

The guy was not combative. I mean he was running away for fucks sake. That is basically the literal opposite of combative.
Maybe cops need training on understanding what being drug actually is. I mean, he can't shoot someone based on what he thinks will eventually happen rather than what is.

As I said earlier, I think he could have been less hostile and let the guy speak, for starters. He was interrupting and was hostile and impatient. He also could have asked for the guys information and called it in to verify his license status (I'm guessing driving w/o a license on you carries a less severe punishment than driving with a suspended license). If that was not an option, he could have asked the guy to step out of the car (before opening the door). I'm not sure why he would need to have the guy get out of his car, but asking him would have been a far better option than reaching for the door and seatbelt. That's just a start, I'm sure more could have been done.

Honest and tough question. I'm not sure, but I would be in favor of calling it a clean shoot if the guy ran and the cop was dragged for some distance, particularly if stuck/attached to the car. I think that fleeing in itself isn't necessarily a crime to be shot for, but endangering the safety of the public and the officer is. Its a hard counter factual to answer, but I think Dubose was looking to flee the scene. If the cop is simply knocked down, than no, get in your cruiser and pursue. You have a faster car and a radio for that reason. If the cop is dragged and Dubose has no interest in stopping, he is taking his life into his hands at that point.

What about Intent to Flee? Death Penalty?

The officer should have repeated himself and held fort until back up got there. When he realized the car would take off soon, he should have verbally addressed that with the guy. He should have done pretty much anything other than what he did. I mean, worse case a guy without a license gets away that day....

most non-murderous humans don't even need training to know that if you're holding onto a car door and the car starts slowly moving that letting go of the door is a more ethical way to avoid being dragged than shooting the car's driver in the head.

I get it that you have friend/family in law enforcement and they are probably very nice people. But if you will defend that psycho's murder than I am not sure you are really not very objective.
Just know that in the future, with body/dash cams hopefully becoming mandatory, there will likely be a lucrative market for experts to offer testimony that even the most unjustified killing is "justified" because the perception of impending harm and you might even be able to get in on that cottage industry.

You're seriously a rough ridin' idiot. That was never part of the equation for making it a "clean shoot". It was an example of the escalating acts by Dubose before the actual incident. I've always made it very clear to people with a <3rd grade reading level the potential dragging was the aggravating act.

Poor cop was just a second away from a clean kill.
Yep that is exactly what I said. Because traffic stops only go bad because of police actions and worse crimes are never found out about during routine traffic stops.
And then it's time to judge/jury/executioner them!
I get it that you have friend/family in law enforcement and they are probably very nice people. But if you will defend that psycho's murder than I am not sure you are really not very objective.
Just know that in the future, with body/dash cams hopefully becoming mandatory, there will likely be a lucrative market for experts to offer testimony that even the most unjustified killing is "justified" because the perception of impending harm and you might even be able to get in on that cottage industry.
yeah except that isn't what is happening here. If people cared to read posts instead of inventing an opposition to argue against you'd realize that I think this is pretty much too close to call and all revolves around whether or not you believe being dragged while making a lawful arrest or detainment is an assault with a deadly weapon. Further the Ohio statutes dealing with that are vague and subject to interpretation. But don't bother to read posts, I'll wait for you to stuff your next strawman.

The potential to be dragged does not authorize deadly force. You're out of your element, Donny.

Why even detain him? Why not believe what he is telling you until you verify he's lying? He had done nothing that warranted more than a ticket unless his license was suspended, and the officer should have let him sit in his car while he figured that out.

couldnt that car have just driven over him? of course he was justified in jumping on the hood and wasting those (alleged) perps

if you want to be bitchy fine, but don't ask legit questions and than act silly. and yes the rice shooting was bad too (maybe a manslaughter, but not murder since he had the cap gun.) but the other video is much worse and in my recent memory because the cops got off (jury just recently acquitted I believe).

Because they are in a bad neighborhood and you usually don't trust people who can't give reasonable answers and become combative? It isn't unreasonable to detain someone to ascertain their identity and Dubose did nothing to act in a reasonable manner to relieve the cop's suspensions that he might have been driving illegally. He was coy about the car, indirect about his license status, and was playing childish games about why he was pulled over. Does any of that warrant a shot to the head, no obviously not. Does that warrant a simple detainment so the cop can determine if he is in further violation of the law, yes.

Where did I say he should have been killed? Just because I think your anti-cop position is ridiculous doesn't mean I support this shooting as I've made abundantly clear. Just because you choose to see my position critiquing your views as a defense of the cop is your problem. Try some self examination.

None of us are anti-cop. however, we're all anti-cops murdering people. I don't know your background, but I'm fairly certain that I'm the only one who has participated in this discussion who has been through traffic stop training. You're correct in stating that the cop should have detained our victim. However, that cop's poor training and conduct are what escalated the situation to the point it reached. Citizens are disrespectful and combative to law enforcement on a daily basis, if that guy couldn't perform the job properly, he shouldn't have been in uniform patrolling the streets. You're trying to play devil's advocate in a situation that you can't rough ridin' win. Shut the eff up already, you're making yourself look like a psychopath.

The fact that you see it as devil's advocate is half the problem. Pointing out the numerous problems with your position while ignoring 99% of my position is why you and a few others are whipped up into a frenzy. Quite frankly that is why the majority of the country can't have an honest discussion about these issues. You've stuff your strawman and refuse to see the legitimate criticisms associated with your position, especially when it blinds you to the positions others bring that might intersect with your own beliefs.
And no one has yet said where this officer went wrong other than reaching inside the car to unbuckle the guy. No one has said where this cop escalated the situation inappropriately (other than generic anticop rhetoric from other posters).

If you think that Dubose was cooperating with that officer, then I would have to respectfully disagree. Yes, the officer should go to jail for murdering him, but a couple of you are acting like Dubose was acting appropriately to the officer, and he was not.
Gonna win 'em all!

yeah actually I did
As already asked:
I would ask this: what else do you believe the cop should have done up to the point of reaching in the car door? Lets just start their. In no way, IMO, can you say he wasn't polite, firm, but fair with his requests and demeanor.
As I said earlier, I think he could have been less hostile and let the guy speak, for starters. He was interrupting and was hostile and impatient. He also could have asked for the guys information and called it in to verify his license status (I'm guessing driving w/o a license on you carries a less severe punishment than driving with a suspended license). If that was not an option, he could have asked the guy to step out of the car (before opening the door). I'm not sure why he would need to have the guy get out of his car, but asking him would have been a far better option than reaching for the door and seatbelt. That's just a start, I'm sure more could have been done.

less interrupting and more patience are examples of something the cop could have done differently. Not necessarily "escalations". Although human interaction is complicated and tone, body language, etc. can be considered "escalations" when added all up. It's stupid to split semantic hairs here.

A straw man is when somebody makes up a position you don't have and then attacks that position. Everyone is just attacking the stuff you type, fwiw.

Yeah. I mean, when the guy tells you he doesn't have his license, that's not being uncooperative. He just doesn't have his license. You don't have to go all Sheriff Teasle on the guy because he forgot to grab his license on the way out the door.

"What was Wayne County's loss is Holmes County's gain," Zimmerly told the Record, confirming that Peterman had been sworn in as a deputy.

According to the Wooster Daily Record, Peterman was hired by Holmes County Sheriff's Department shortly after he quit. Holmes County Sheriff Timothy Zemerly says he does not "foresee any issues with him."
"What was Wayne County's loss is Holmes County's gain," Zimmerly told the Record, confirming that Peterman had been sworn in as a deputy.

what is going on here
A few posters were foolish with constructing their strawman and it fell apart on them. Now they are running amok being uber cool.
A straw man is when somebody makes up a position you don't have and then attacks that position. Everyone is just attacking the stuff you type, fwiw.
yeah except I'm not advocating anything you guys are "attacking." And doing a very poor job at that. But don't bother reading posts, because than you'd know what a straw man you've created.

Well, I have no idea what you are even talking about now. So you don't think the shooting was justified, and actually agree with everyone else that it was a murder?

Fair enough, I do even remember reading that. I was wrong to lump you in, although I disagree with you on the interrupting part being an escalation.
less interrupting and more patience are examples of something the cop could have done differently. Not necessarily "escalations". Although human interaction is complicated and tone, body language, etc. can be considered "escalations" when added all up. It's stupid to split semantic hairs here.
But as you note these are important techniques for cops to have to keep situations under control. I mean this isn't applicable to random stops in the hood, but are also useful when dealing with people with mental health issues, particularly body language/tone. How do you strike the balance between maintaining control over situations where the cop "dictates" the pace of the conversation and prevents the suspect from monopolizing the conversation wasting time with excuses/distractions/obstruction. <--tough convo to have

rough ridin' seriously? We're that rough ridin' stupid around here?
Lets try bullet points:
*Ohio statute allows for the use of deadly force to prevent harm in assaults with a deadly weapon.
*I'm believe a car can be a deadly weapon.
*I'm not sure if the cop was dragged long enough to rise to the statute's necessary level of harm
*I believe the cop acted respectfully during his verbal interaction with Dubose.
*I believe he was justified to detain Dubose to ascertain his identity.
*I also believe anyone who thinks asking for the license was unreasonable (Michigan) is a rough ridin' idiot. Dubose was indirect and acting in a suspicious manner, therefore simply providing his name was not a reasonable alternative.
*I believe it was legitimate but stupid to open the car door and to reach inside of the car.
*I believe Dubose bears a great deal of responsibility for his death because he attempted to flee a legitimate detainment and investigation. That does not remove the culpability for the cop killing him.
*The question(s) many have failed to recognize is that the cop was preforming a legal stop and investigation. Does Dubose attempting to flee and the cops fear of harm rise to the level of assault with a deadly weapon's felony provisions? Remember that the standard is harm, not fear of death. Do people feel the cop needs to be dragged "X" feet before harm is "achieved?"
*Finally, as the video shows, there was a physical confrontation, and I think the cop was too fast to pull his weapons. I do believe he, the cop, thought he was being dragged. I am personally unresolved about the shooting because it was too early, ie he should have been dragged further. I personally believe it was not murder, under the statute, at best it's voluntary manslaughter. I am glad I'm not on the jury because I'm not sure if he is guilty or innocent. The video is too poor to really tell how long he has been moved down the street before the shot. I know that Dubose actions directly led to his death, specifically turning the car on and putting it in gear.

The car didn't even start moving until after the cop killed the driver.

The car didn't even start moving until after the cop killed the driver.
Hard to tell from the unedited video. But that gets back to a central point that few have answered. Is there a bright-line of harm that being dragged 1ft is different than 10ft?
-
There is certainly some pretty hard evidence that the driver was intending to move the car. I mean, when I start the car and put it in drive, you can rest assured that I am leaving.
-

Is it reasonable to believe he was being dragged at all? That would require him to draw and fire his weapon one-handed and hit a moving target while he is also moving and his left arm is in the way.

A few things you can tell from the video. 1) He is low to the side of the car. Part of that is assuredly from leaning over to reach in. I think part of it is because the car moves slightly (certainly not the 10ish ft people are claiming on Blaze).
2) He draws and fires very quickly but has a high angle. Cops are necessarily taught to shoot for the head but center mass. So part of me thinks it as a nervous quick fire where the cop was just trying to get on target (Dubose) and shot as soon as the weapon was near. Due to the angle and speed of the action, that left the head as the destination. All of that, by built in muscle memory is milliseconds. So the car would not have moved much, the target was not moving much, and his left arm was down on the seat belt/left arm/chest of Dubose, as clearly visible in the frame by frame video I posted. Now the video, even the unedited video, doesn't give you a food idea of the surroundings of the car. Because of the motion blur and poor frame rate it's hard to tell when the shot occurred to how much has moved. I do believe the car moved slightly as most car do when you put them in gear, but 99% of the motion was probably after the shot/Dubose death. Does that 1% rise to the level of harm or fear of harm?
-
Does the video show him getting blown away? I don't want to watch that
-

the video I posted earlier has a blur over it. I've found an unblurred video and you really can't see much at all.
-
This cop is a liar.
-
Does the video show him getting blown away? I don't want to watch that
when someone posted a compilation video of cops killing citizens I learned that gunshot wound deaths aren't particularly graphic initially.
Although I did find an extended video that blurs out the confrontation and shot (murder), but doesn't blur out the dude just laying there dead with blood everywhere.
-
I'm not watching anyone getting shot to death even if it isn't gorey. it's almost more unsettling if it's not. like, someone posted a video on here one time of a guy running from the police and then he just stops and shoots himself and falls over dead and there was no blood or anything but it was really disturbing.

0'-0" = not dragged.
You are def the one building something to argue in this thread.

This.

I normally wouldn't watch something like that, but I think it's important for people to see citizens murdered by police. But I understand why you wouldn't want to (and I think you guys know this is a problem). I'm still scarred from seeing the video of the pennsylvania politician putting his gun in his mouth at a press conference in the 80's. (I saw it in like 2004).
But I think anyone that shares the fetus parts videos should be like required to also see the videos of cops blasting folks.

Sorry you didn't watch the video and providing a voice of slow reason instead of a rush to judgement.
-
I watched it. didnt see him dragged.
-
I want to see the cop's shoes. If he was dragged then there should be a significant amount of material removed where they dragged on the ground.
-
edn has mind tricked some of you into actually considering the idea that the cop was dragged. lol @ you.

"When a cop shows up, I don't care if it is your house, you're not the one in charge"

well, the other differences were Bland died in police custody after a messy video of her arrest and in the Dubose shooting the cop would have been scott free and there would have been zero discussion without the video. But yeah there should definitely be more outrage here.

another factor is yeah, blacks are more organized when it comes to fighting for justice because of all that first 200 years of how we treated blacks in the country. White males really haven't needed to mobilize for civil rights because they've, you know, always had them.

Let's take their guns away and give just night sticks, and they cannot respond for to 60 minute. Also only minority police can deal with a minority suspect.

While it's absurd for cops to be killing that many people to begin with, they should NEVER have to blast a dude carrying a knife.

I thought for sure at least a proportionate amount of police had been killed in the same time frame. The count for police over the last year is like 150.

While it's absurd for cops to be killing that many people to begin with, they should NEVER have to blast a dude carrying a knife.
Anyone that goes at a cop with a knife will be, and should be, blasted. A cop shouldn't have to defend himself with hand to hand combat in a country where guns are legal. Just part of the deal in America. Like they say, love it or change the law.
Yeah I wonder what percentage of the 1000+ people cops killed were not just holding a knife, but actually charging at them with knives.
I'm guessing the majority of them had a gun, but knives were probably #2., and the last thing those people heard was "drop the knife! drop the knife! drop the knife! bang bang bang bang, bang, bang..."did you guys see that?! he was totally charging me and I thought he would murder me glad I have a clean kill here....

We can't do that yet because countries that give their cops night sticks actively try and limit the availability of guns in said country.
Instead we have people buying up guns every time a dozen grade schoolers get murdered.
-
Being a police officer is completely voluntary.
So is being a criminal. Both take their chances, but the cops usually win.

yes, someone is more likely to shoot someone who is pointing a gun in your face than without. It's an intense situation that increases adrenaline flow and reduces rational thought.

Yeah, and I'm saying that if an officer is attacked and there is a video, the video should be evaluated to see if the situation could have been avoided. There are cases where people are insane and would attack a cop no matter what, but even then police should still try to learn from them (along with any other attack. )
I mean, cops already use videos of cops being attacked them as teaching moments. (I think they should also show videos of cops rough ridin' up and killing citizens, but still):

In many of these links it's cops showing really poor judgment in the heat of the moment, this one is a countywide cover up. This is well earned prison time, good luck in the clink, boys and girls.

I don't think you know if you're coming or going at this point. You said arlington PD "gets it" and I responded because they clearly don't. That is pretty obvious when you have a rookie cop so emboldened that he wonders off by himself and someone ends up dead. So no, they don't "get it." Back to your regularly scheduled flailing.

You guys are creating a bit of a recursive loop here. If his training was good he would have followed it or, probably more appropriately, would have been washed out. The bottom line is that he did something he shouldn't have done, yes, but it wasn't a minor accident in protocol. So somewhere there is a breakdown in training and accountability. It's good that Arlington PD is being reactive about the situation, but that doesn't change the fact that one man is dead because of a failure of proactive policy. I will totally agree that having a reactive department is better than having an inert or regressive department.
-

Christ man, you go to pretty extreme lengths to avoid saying "I was wrong." I don't know why I'm continuing this but do you really think their training is bad because this dude didn't follow it? Do you think this for all cases of people not following their training or just in this case to prove your point?

Unlike you have have zero issue saying I'm wrong, when I'm wrong. You choose to ignore the most reasonable explanation for complex issues. The reality is these are complex interactions that most people here want to boil down into black and white instances (see people here talking about Cincinnati who didn't understand the grey area the world really works in). You've come far close to my position than you'd like to admit to yourself with this post hedging your argument and creating an ad hom to attack me instead of realizing that your position of "getting it right" was more an example of the grey area where police interactions are a mostly right or mostly wrong, but with a huge distance in between those two points, far from the black and white/right wrong most people see here. I was merely pointing out that Arlington PD and this instance are another example where we sit in between the two poles.

No shots were fired at the police. The police are claiming that he was pointing his gun behind him as he was running away, probably kind of half-turned. It's possible that he would be shot in the back under self defense in that scenario, but not very plausible.

One thing that is almost always guaranteed about police is that they lie about any officer-involved shooting that is not caught on camera. And even when it's caught on camera they try to lie!

And I was wrong in my other post about Ball-Bey getting a shot off. And I'm sorry I don't believe the family's narrative when they acknowledge he had weapons.

Sounds like a rough neighborhood where police probably fear for their lives and where the locals who see the police as the enemy, and would like to see 'em dead. Renocop would have likely fired if someone was pointing a gun at him.

3 investigation, 2 of which were independent (1 DOJ investigation that was bent on finding something and the other from the family) and a mountain of forensic evidence don't lie. If we want to have a reasonable conversation about police conduct, we have to be willing to accept these things called facts. And when the facts don't support your narrative, that means your narrative is wrong, not the facts. It might be time to alter your narrative.

do you get a commission when a cop shoots somebody?

if you accept that grand juries are garbage and flawed and trash which exist solely for the purpose of diverting blame, then i will try to accept whatever you were saying up there about that stuff

you keep saying that like you are relaying new or useful information. there were other investigations as I've noted and you still can't dispute the forensic evidence. get a new talking point.

3 investigation, 2 of which were independent (1 DOJ investigation that was bent on finding something and the other from the family) and a mountain of forensic evidence don't lie. If we want to have a reasonable conversation about police conduct, we have to be willing to accept these things called facts. And when the facts don't support your narrative, that means your narrative is wrong, not the facts. It might be time to alter your narrative.
Does that hit a little close to home?

Not at all. I'm more than willing to admit when I'm wrong and assimilate facts into my view. Are you, Mich, and Puni ready to do the same?

I can certainly admit that the MB shooting has been investigated by 3 different entities and been at least proven to be a close call (meaning no indictment). I was admitting that back when forensics showed that he was shot in front, instead of in the back as had been previously reported. I don't think he needed that many shots and I think the subsequent crap storm of pretending MB committed some "Heat" type heist and throwing fake photos of him up was a poor choice by the blue line. But I was wrong on my initial reaction.
But that guy in Cincinnati executed the driver and you think its a clean kill. You gotta admit when a cop kills someone with no justification. It happens and, n fact, it happens too much. You gotta admit when they disable security cams and terrorize a store. You gotta admit it.

Dan Carlin did a pretty good Common Sense a year or so ago on no knock raids and early morning SWAT activities. He noted stats that showed the use of SWAT teams nationally went from something like 300 times in a year to something like 40000 times per year and noted how federal funds are linked to drug raids, which is the vast majority of what they are used for now.
He was basically saying that police depts are funding themselves by SWAT'ing the eff out of anything they can to earn Fed $.
He linked that to the militarization of the police force and the issues with the war on drugs in the same podcast. It was a good listen.

I hope Jamycheal Mitchell becomes the face of the need for reforms across the criminal justice system in this country. And when people scoff at #BlackLivesMatter they remember how this guy was treated. But so few will know this story and even fewer will remember. This is the saddest link yet, IMO.

Not sure if this aspect of Freddie Gray has been talked about. The guy had the deck stacked against him his entire life. He should have had some sort of medical card or something to alert police of his mental status. I mean they shouldn't have treated him like a regular criminal.
“Jesus,” Dan Levy, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University who has studied the effects of lead poisoning on youths, gasped when told of Gray’s levels. “The fact that Mr. Gray had these high levels of lead in all likelihood affected his ability to think and to self-regulate and profoundly affected his cognitive ability to process information.”

Yet overall the number of officers killed in action is down nationwide. If you're a cop getting shot it is an accepted occupational hazard, having rogue cops barge in your house shouldn't be a hazard of taking a shower.
-
So getting gunned down execution style while pumping gas is "an accepted occupational hazard"? Fascinating.
Oh and since you'll knee jerk this, I don't support rogue cops either.
What percentage of the interactions between law enforcement and the public involve "rogue cops", on a nationwide basis?
Is a police officer driving down the road and having his car blasted with a hail of gunfire, "an accepted occupational hazard"?

I heard it on the radio, but it seems like all things in the media they didn't clarify that it was all situations in the line of duty, "only" 6 were gunfire related per the odmp.org in August, and 23 gunfire related deaths this year. 6 out of 23 YTD gunfire deaths to law enforcement occurred in August.

And then they didn't even attempt first aid, they shot him in cold blood and just stared at his body until the paramedics arrived 3 minutes later. WTF.

This is one of the clear shooting cases that you can clearly make the claim to at least 2nd degree murder. I would be interested to see their justification for the shooting. I wish you could clearly see the left hand, but that doesn't matter much since it seems like he has both arms raised.

I'm not going to look back, but has the kid in SC who was gunned down by police back in early August/Late July been discussed? A private autopsy showed he'd been shot in the back, over a bag of ganja, unarmed. Not much outrage though.
I know Alex Jones is nuts, hyperbolic and over-the-top on many things, but he's been pretty much spot on for years discussing the over aggression and militarization of the police. I know there's lots of bad guys armed to the teeth out there (many with illegally obtained guns), but a 19 year old kid in a car with some weed and a date eating an ice cream cone is not one of them.
I'm also very happy the man who is getting out of prison today in Missouri after being sentenced to life over weed. I'm not against a little jail time, with emphasis on a little as in a few days to maybe a week or two for perpetual drug offenders, but come on, life?? Our sentencing in this country is so whacked out, with people who have consensual sex in public or show (gasp) their boobies or recreational drug users being threatened with jail terms longer than violent criminals. It's just totally whackadoodle.

In the full tweet they also included the station phone number. This is sickening. I'm guessing they're slow playing the other video because they want to have their stories straight and a plan (to hopefully arrest the cops) rather than the uproar that would happen with "here's a better video of a murder, see you tomorrow". However, taunting the station just seems crazy.

Is it common for hospital security guards to carry weapons?
-
Nope
-
I didn't think so. Why the eff did he even have it? Just so that he could blast some mental health patients?
-
Obvsly he isn't a man without it.

Wow. Terrible on all counts.

Why are service weapons taken home?

I saw a security guard on Bart the other day with his pistol. He also had an insanely ridiculous phone. I tried to take a photo, but i was worried he might shoot me. I'll see if I still have it.

So the motherfucking commissioner is blaming the incident on the i.d. of Blake by the victim and says that the notion of race having anything to do with this incident as "nonsense." Thing is Blake never said the false arrest was because of his race but how he was treated when he was detained.Bratton's cops will continue to do crap like this because it's obvious that he doesn't want to deal with the behavior of his thugs masquerading as police.

I didn't see a statement from the staff. There was a statement from a petition started by health care professionals that I thought was appropriate. There were 2 officers. The man was admitted into a hospital. They knew he was unarmed. There is no scenario in which shooting the guy in the chest is appropriate.

Look at the contents of the staff's letter. They claim to have these great techniques to ID and subdue people with mental health issues. Those obviously failed. So now we have someone who is a great enough threat to the staff (which said they could subdue him) who feel the need to call in extra help (ie people who know how to subdue people). At that point those trained people took action with physical force. That did not work. The progressed to their next level on their force progression and attempted to use a taser or like device. That did not work. The next level wasn't to get the person a cup of coffee and discuss how many hugs their parents did or did not give them. That is the unfortunate reality of violent encounters. We have one security guard with a cut on the head, which sounds innocuous enough when read, but anyone who knows head lacerations know they bleed like a mother rough rider and that would escalate the fear that something really bad had happened to the security guard.
The fault here lies with the hospital staff, the same people claiming to have these awesome techniques to deal with people, who failed to ID the patient's needs, failed to keep them in the hospital or even the correct ward, and failed to deal with the situation as it escalated. At a certain point the situation has reached a violent point of no return, and that is very unfortunate, but the safety of the officers and staff needs to be valued over that person who is in the middle of a mental break.

That letter wasn't from the staff. The staff failed to properly subdue the guy and then shot him in the chest.

You wanna let me take a couple punches to your face in a head lock and see how you look? Pro tip, if you put your hands on the officer in a violent physical action, there will be measure taken to ensure their safety, including physical force. This scenario is yet another reason why we need body cams to sort out a mess instead of leaving us with this he said crap where a bunch of try hard bitches complain about police brutality assuming the cop is 100% in the wrong 100% of the time.

“I saw the guy get out of the car, walk toward the officer a little bit and stopped,” the witness said. “There was a little distance between them, and I saw the officer rush him.”
The police report shows Barger raised his hands after the officer pointed his gun at him, but Barger and the witness both said the officer charged toward him and placed him in a headlock.
“By the time he threw me on the ground and hit me a couple times with his elbow, at that point, I was like, ‘This isn’t a police officer — this is just some guy here to kill me,’” Barger said.
The witness said Barger screamed for help as the officer repeatedly punched him.
“They were on the ground for a good two or three minutes, and the guy was screaming, ‘Somebody help me, somebody help me, I don’t know why you’re doing this,’” the witness said.

See this post is the perfect example of a total failure to understand how to live in civil society. Reciprocal damage to the cop isn't necessary for a cop to have a justified use of force. It has to be reasonable and a proportional response to end the threat. That much damage could easily be done with 3 punches to the face. That could be done in the blink of an eye in a violent encounter with anyone. This type of attitude on display from you people also demands a cop be shot before they can return fire. It's just absurd to live in your reality.

No, I really don't, and even if I did, the witness testimony and police report say the victim had his hands up. I do wish there were body cam footage so you could take us frame by frame on why this guy deserved to have his ass kicked, though.

What level of cop brutality is acceptable, without undue cause, before a citizen can fight back? This doesn't necessarily fit this specific instance, but honest question. I mean, if I haven't done anything and a cop starts to pummel me for seemingly no reason, there should be a line were, when crossed, I can defend myself. Right?
The goal for all arrests should be minimal required physical force.
The cops who don't want body cams are the cops that enjoy punching a few faces, for no real reason, every now and again. These ppl shouldn't be cops. The talking point about it being such a minority of the police force doesn't explain why this is in the news all but daily and basically all across the country. The unwillingness by ppl to admit that there is a problem is a big deal.

I don't see how the witness adds to or refutes one story. It works in both cases.
And its funny the person being the most neutral here is being attacked the most. A bunch of try hards in here working their ass off to make a cop look bad when I'm saying the story could look differently with more info. That info is critical to determine real truth and not try hard narratives.

You have to work with the info that you have. You can't just ignore the witness testimony and the guy's bashed in face when it's the best evidence you have. If this guy was not a cop, he'd be in jail with the same evidence.

I agree with a lot of this post, even though I know you're coming from another anti cop direction.
And yes you can legally resist an illegal arrest. But that isn't what was happening here. If we have a legal arrest with undo use of force the place to remedy that is in the courts and through civil actions.
And the media is all over this because it's getting headlines. The scary thing is to think about all the people who have been killed in illegitimate police actions when you have bullshit narratives constructed around instances like Mike Brown where the cop was eventually exonerated by all investigations. We should be talking about Tamir Rice.

I don't see how the witness adds to or refutes one story. It works in both cases.
And its funny the person being the most neutral here is being attacked the most. A bunch of try hards in here working their ass off to make a cop look bad when I'm saying the story could look differently with more info. That info is critical to determine real truth and not try hard narratives.
You have to work with the info that you have. You can't just ignore the witness testimony and the guy's bashed in face when it's the best evidence you have. If this guy was not a cop, he'd be in jail with the same evidence.
The witness testimony can work in the cop's story too (or at least from the snip it given.) The guys face isn't that bad in all reality, sorry thats the truth. I've seen people jumped and sucker punched with much more damaged without a cop getting them in a headlock. The reality is that damage could be done with 3 strikes to the face.
And no he wouldn't be in jail because the cop was effecting a legal arrest. You can't strip away the facts you don't like for supposition.

Is try hard a new go to insult?
just pointing out the obvious. when people go through mental gymnastics to make a point instead of looking at facts without bias.

What level of cop brutality is acceptable, without undue cause, before a citizen can fight back? This doesn't necessarily fit this specific instance, but honest question. I mean, if I haven't done anything and a cop starts to pummel me for seemingly no reason, there should be a line were, when crossed, I can defend myself. Right?
The goal for all arrests should be minimal required physical force.
The cops who don't want body cams are the cops that enjoy punching a few faces, for no real reason, every now and again. These ppl shouldn't be cops. The talking point about it being such a minority of the police force doesn't explain why this is in the news all but daily and basically all across the country. The unwillingness by ppl to admit that there is a problem is a big deal.
This.
If someone is pummeling you for no reason you should be able to defend yourself no matter who the person is.
-
You should be able to. Unfortunately, if you are being pummeled by a cop, you are probably going to get charged with assault.

Yep, just take your ass whipping and stfu, I guess. I mean, there are cases of ppl doing this who lost a pregnancy thanks to dumbass cops. I would imagine there are quite a few cases of ppl not resisting to their great detriment.
It is all so mumped up. Especially when we could resolve a bunch of this with training, better hiring practices, and especially, getting rid of the dumbasses who are problems, rather than just passing them on to the next cop shop. Other than a very few cases, all that ever happens is someone in the dept saying they are investigating alleged abuse of force, yada, yada, then nothing.
Cops don't bear the full responsibility of what is going on right now, but they certainly have a large share of it.

So you support hospital staff shooting at their mental health patients when they get a little out of hand, then? And of course the letter wasn't written by staff at that hospital. No hospital would allow their staff to open them up to a lawsuit like that.

Most likely the cop's glasses got knocked off when the guy flailed his arms to protect his head from getting repeatedly punched. The witness stated that the cop charged him from far away so the guy didn't have an opportunity to knock the glasses off before he got pummeled.

Are you for rough ridin' real? Do you think the guards were doing random bed checks and were just cursing by when the patient didn't take his meds because he didn't get ice cream and start blasting?
The situation was already out of hand when the guards were called. They went through 3 levels of force elevations before using lethal force because crap was so out of hand. JFC these are the facts that are critical in these cases that you people are choosing to ignore to fit your narrative. I'm not asking for a lot out of you people, just an honest evaluation of the facts and you can't even come up with an intellectual defense of your narrative, and that is why you malign me with your bullshit attacks (looking at you too Puni).

The facts are that a man admitted himself to the hospital because he wasn't mentally sound. The hospital knew his medical history and failed to properly subdue him, and then they shot him in the chest. Everything else you stated is not supported by anything factual. It's made up bullshit to support your argument. Why do hospital security guards even carry weapons? Why does the hospital not have a proper procedure to deal with mental health patients? The signed petition states that most hospitals do.
I think that story just outlines that police are so used to being able to shoot first and ask questions later that they absolutely should not be working any type of security job when they are off duty. Hospitals should look to mall security for their labor force.
-

You shouldn't get to use force on a legal arrest until there has already been resistance.

LOL I mean this is just comical how you are bending the story to fit your needs.
The hospital medical staff totally failed to managed the situation. The situation got out of hand and they required physical force to attempt to regain control of the situation. As the situation escalated it became more violent because of the patient's actions. You can choose to ignore that all you want, it doesn't make it less true. Once the security staff is there, it's not the scenario you want it to be. And lots of security staff have weapons, lots of place hire off duty cops because its easier with liability issues to employ them. Those are facts that are widely known, but are only a reasonable supposition here. Now back to you making up "facts" again: we have no idea what the hospital's policies are, or where they broke down from that article. We have some info about the family attempting to warn the staff, but we don't know where that went or how it was sent to staff. It's sad the family wasn't there to get the patient involuntarily committed.
Also you show your bias once again when you ignore the fact they went through 3 levels of force elevation, a series of facts that you do not dispute, and continue to ignore because you know that alone destroys your entire position.
-
Because there was a violent interaction between them? You don't get to physical resist a legal arrest.
You shouldn't get to use force on a legal arrest until there has already been resistance.
Once again you're making stuff up to fit your narrative. We don't have reliable information on what occurred (assuming you don't believe the police's account). Once again, just try and stick to some of the facts instead of going totally off reservation.
-
The whole idea of cops not having body cameras by now is ridic. I mean, this issue has been red hot for over a year now, so even if this was a budget issue during the middle of last year, enough time has gone by to be in a new budget.
Get the body cams and make wearing them required. those who don't, fired.

The whole idea of cops not having body cameras by now is ridic. I mean, this issue has been red hot for over a year now, so even if this was a budget issue during the middle of last year, enough time has gone by to be in a new budget.
Get the body cams and make wearing them required. those who don't, fired.
Also note my position in the past that any tampering with them is a crime, especially when interacting with the public. I'd probably be pro felony if a cop turns it off and there is an issue of misconduct.
-
Because there was a violent interaction between them? You don't get to physical resist a legal arrest.
You shouldn't get to use force on a legal arrest until there has already been resistance.
Once again you're making stuff up to fit your narrative. We don't have reliable information on what occurred (assuming you don't believe the police's account). Once again, just try and stick to some of the facts instead of going totally off reservation.
I am going off of the witness testimony. You are going off of a scenario that played through your head.
LOL I mean this is just comical how you are bending the story to fit your needs.
The hospital medical staff totally failed to managed the situation. The situation got out of hand and they required physical force to attempt to regain control of the situation. As the situation escalated it became more violent because of the patient's actions. You can choose to ignore that all you want, it doesn't make it less true. Once the security staff is there, it's not the scenario you want it to be. And lots of security staff have weapons, lots of place hire off duty cops because its easier with liability issues to employ them. Those are facts that are widely known, but are only a reasonable supposition here. Now back to you making up "facts" again: we have no idea what the hospital's policies are, or where they broke down from that article. We have some info about the family attempting to warn the staff, but we don't know where that went or how it was sent to staff. It's sad the family wasn't there to get the patient involuntarily committed.
Also you show your bias once again when you ignore the fact they went through 3 levels of force elevation, a series of facts that you do not dispute, and continue to ignore because you know that alone destroys your entire position.
Going through the 3 levels of force elevation is part of the hospital failing to properly subdue their patient. If you work in a hospital around mentally ill people, you should expect to take a punch or a kick to the face at some point. That is just part of the job. The man isn't mentally sound, and he doesn't deserve to die because you were bad enough at your job to let that happen. You shouldn't taze or shoot him. There were plenty of people in that room to hold him down and restrain him.
-
Now you're at the point of lying through your teeth to make your point. The staff felt the situation was out of control and called the security staff. The medical staff doesn't have that kind of force protocol like you want them to have. I'm sure the staff attempted to control the patient before calling security, because the article says so. The security guards attempted to control him and it was elevated, which you kinda acknowledge now but still totally fail to recognize the implications of force protocols. It's clear you don't understand physiologically what is happening when a taser is totally ineffective if you think "There were plenty of people in that room to hold him down and restrain him." I mean your posting has reached a level of naivety that is borderline delusional.
I would encourage you to stop and look at the facts, go back and re-read stuff.

And I would encourage you to look at how non sequitur it is since these "same" medical professionals totally failed at living up to their "own" charge in the letter. If the medical staff has these great techniques, why weren't they deployed properly? If these techniques prevent the used of escalating force why did they fail? Or their techniques aren't as good as they hope they are and mental health professionals regularly rely on the police or security to help them. Sometimes those situations go to a place where someone ends up shot because it's just a bad mumped up situation. The reality is you don't know anyone who works in mental health, you have obviously never dealt with people with mental health issues, because you'd realize that sometimes on rare occasions, as much as things are done to prevent it, people get hurt or die because of circumstances outside of everyone's control.

They aren't the same professionals. This hospital is clearly incompetent. The family is suing and will probably be awarded millions of dollars. Hopefully the hospital stops employing cops and gets better. Police would probably get better, too, if there were ever held accountable for anything.

I would say the are incompetent because the warnings from family were not passed along properly and they failed to have adequate medical staff there. The idea of discharging him is obscene.
I would like to see people here realize that once a situation gets out of control it is possible to reach a point of no return of sorts. Yes we'd all like to have every situation end without people getting seriously hurt, but sometimes the circumstances are beyond reasonable reproach. And that is why you need to be prepared before hand to limit those circumstances and also act quickly if you are given info about circumstances, example the family saying there is mental health issue to be aware of.
-
The man admitted himself for a mental health issue. It's not simply a matter of the family's message not getting passed along. Hospitals should have trained staff to deal with these patients, or they should direct them to a different hospital that does. They should not use police officers who are going to treat them as if they are arresting a criminal.
-
You wanna let me take a couple punches to your face in a head lock and see how you look? Pro tip, if you put your hands on the officer in a violent physical action, there will be measure taken to ensure their safety, including physical force. This scenario is yet another reason why we need body cams to sort out a mess instead of leaving us with this he said crap where a bunch of try hard bitches complain about police brutality assuming the cop is 100% in the wrong 100% of the time.
“I saw the guy get out of the car, walk toward the officer a little bit and stopped,” the witness said. “There was a little distance between them, and I saw the officer rush him.”
The police report shows Barger raised his hands after the officer pointed his gun at him, but Barger and the witness both said the officer charged toward him and placed him in a headlock.
“By the time he threw me on the ground and hit me a couple times with his elbow, at that point, I was like, ‘This isn’t a police officer — this is just some guy here to kill me,’” Barger said.
The witness said Barger screamed for help as the officer repeatedly punched him.
“They were on the ground for a good two or three minutes, and the guy was screaming, ‘Somebody help me, somebody help me, I don’t know why you’re doing this,’” the witness said.

You need to calm the eff down, you're cussing about the kermit meme, take yourself even more seriously.
Anyway, that post I asked you to address talks about how the cop approached the guy he beat up and the suspect wasn't the aggressor at all, you posted some barely coherent crap about someone going at someone else's face. So do you want to read meatsauce's post and try again or do you want to look stupid about something else? Personally I don't care, I'm entertained either way.

Man you're going to have a tough time as an adult if you think people calling your bullshit position bullshit is hysteria.
And I've talked about your point multiple times. You can choose to ignore it, or read posts. But judging by the discourse of the Pit you've made up your mind. The fact is the witness testimony doesn't directly conflict with what the cop said, and it doesn't directly conflict with what the victim is claiming. The author of the piece paints it one direction for sure. In fact if you read the poorly written account there is actually no way for the incident to occur the way its depicted without adding in steps. All accounts pretty much agree the person was rushed by the cop and that a scuffle broke out. The witness doesn't have any input on what was said as well. Does the situation take on a radically different scenario if Barger says "Yes officer, I'll come peacefully, just let me put my kitten down" versus "eff you I'll kill you cop! You aren't taking me in alive!" But lets get back to the conflicting statements. How does one, with no steps in between, put someone in a head lock and and cause that kind of damage with elbow strikes? Now we can infer what happened based on what we want to believe happened, which you all have done, but at this point we don't have enough info (my position all along) to really judge what happened here. The emotional reaction you all have displayed here is why we need more body cams, more independent review, and more accountability for people tampering with evidence.

Yeah, sounds like the steps that the cop took were pretty quick. And no matter what the guy said, if he didn't have a weapon or was within distance to use his body as a weapon then the cop had no reason to charge him.

Not in any way shape or form. Both accounts agree the cop put hands on the guy. You're adding info to your narrative.
The worst part of all this bullshit you people are trapped into, is that you've missed the worst part of this story. Why did the cop admit to pulling his gun? That weapon should only be drawn to protect the lives of the officer or surrounding populace. It is not a compliance tool. Why did this situation get so out of control that the cop felt the need to use deadly force OR why did the cop use it so early as a compliance tool?
-
my edn problem here is that he refuses to acknowledge a systemic/cultural problem with policing in america. of course it's possible to look at any single killing in a fishbowl and rationalize at least one hypothetical way it could have gone to be justified as a clean killtm.
-

He probably drew his gun because he's the same guy who would also spend a couple minutes beating the crap out of a guy with his hands up.

It's a lot easier to get somebody into a headlock and beat the crap out of them if you get them to put their hands up first.
-
sorry, edna, i didnt read your thing about cops should not use their guns as a compliance tool (which they do constantly) i agree with you on this and offer you my deepest and warmest positive reinforcement
-
my edn problem here is that he refuses to acknowledge a systemic/cultural problem with policing in america. of course it's possible to look at any single killing in a fishbowl and rationalize at least one hypothetical way it could have gone to be justified as a clean killtm.
That is because we are seeing an epidemic of people rushing to a conclusion without any semblance of fact. When someone questions the narrative you guys are constructing they are painted as a pro police violence fascist. Rationalizing a killing is not the same as questioning the narrative certain groups are constructing. Just the same way that you see the union rep protecting any cops at any cost, I see you people in the same light where you are removing facts that get in the way of what story you want to be told. You joke about a clean kill (which I don't think I've used here, please by all means quote me) because you don't want any taking of life by a cop to be justified. Me giving examples of how a shooting is justified or how levels of increased force are at play aren't an approval or disapproval of the morality of those scenarios. Me correcting you on the bastardization of those facts also isn't my approval or disapproval. It's me trying to get you guys to see that we've accepted a certain set of standards and "we" (society) need to first see if these cops have deviated from those standards. Just like the Cincinnati shooting everyone failed to account for me saying it was in a gray area for the standards that "we" have adopted and instead only looked as my comments in the most ludicrous way possible, and now your narrative has another enemy and another catch phrase of "clean kill."
-
Cases where a police shooting might be justified:
An armed suspect points his weapon at somebody.
I honestly can't think of any others right now.
-
i'm going to blame the horrible search function for me not being able to find you registering the trademark for "clean kill"

I'm honestly really torn on this. When I heard the DA's comments I thought for sure it would be an open and shut case, but I'm not so sure. I will say I am a cop apologist in 99% of the cases to get that out of the way.
I think this video literally shows the act was one second too late from being a "clean shoot" and one second too early to be murder. This great little site allows you to move this video frame by frame to see (kinda) when stuff really occurs. And it allows you to go in slower speeds.

I have to run and I'll be back for more, since I know many will think I'm insane. I would urge people to look at 1:52-1:56. Notice the car being started and put into gear. But also notice how the cop has his gun out in literally one second 1:54 if I recall, with the death at 1:55. I haven't seen an un-edited (gore warning that is) video yet, which I think it necessary to get a better understanding of the shot/how far they moved/and whether or not the grappled in the car.
Sorry, edn. You said "clean shoot", not "clean kill". Everyone has been misquoting you, myself included.

Not "armed" does this mean the cop shouldn't use deadly force?

:ck:

i'm going to blame the horrible search function for me not being able to find you registering the trademark for "clean kill"
Probably because I didn't say is and it was closer to justified killing or clean shoot. But don't let facts get in the way of your narrative. Bigger point stuff I know.

Maybe you should actually read the links you post. Garner won Tennessee v. Garner.
I don't like castle law, but I think untrained civilians trying to protect their property and family should be held to a lower standard than police officers in deciding whether it's ok to pull the trigger.
Yes, the cop did the right thing by not killing that guy.

JFC you don't know what you're talking about.
"The officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others." That flies directly in the fact of what you're talking about. The suspect doesn't have to be armed as you demand, only a reasonable threat to the public. So there doesn't even have to be a direct threat to a person, or as you say pointing a weapon at someone. I mean I can't spoon feed this any other way to you.
And now cops can be beaten to death in your world, as long as a weapon isn't used. Awesome. I'll remember that when you go on a tirade about cops almost killing someone when hitting them.
-
I'd say the person who beat the crap out of the cop should be tried and jailed for that just like the cop who beat the crap out of the guy with his hands up should be tried and jailed.
Also, if a mass killer drops his weapons and starts running, I'd agree that it's ok for the cops to shoot him if they can't otherwise catch him. Otherwise he might do it again. So I guess we've found a second case where it's alright.
-
Never been in a fight? I mean just normal everyday response tells you that is a rough ridin' absurd. If someone goes at your face you act with force to end the threat.
Don't let facts get in the way of your bullshit MiR.
I'm confused about why this is direted at me and why you're swearing
Umm that fact you're using a childish meme to make a point about a comment that was already diffused? Yeah that's kinda bullshit.
You need to calm the eff down, you're cussing about the kermit meme, take yourself even more seriously.
Anyway, that post I asked you to address talks about how the cop approached the guy he beat up and the suspect wasn't the aggressor at all, you posted some barely coherent crap about someone going at someone else's face. So do you want to read meatsauce's post and try again or do you want to look stupid about something else? Personally I don't care, I'm entertained either way.
Man you're going to have a tough time as an adult if you think people calling your bullshit position bullshit is hysteria.
And I've talked about your point multiple times. You can choose to ignore it, or read posts. But judging by the discourse of the Pit you've made up your mind. The fact is the witness testimony doesn't directly conflict with what the cop said, and it doesn't directly conflict with what the victim is claiming. The author of the piece paints it one direction for sure. In fact if you read the poorly written account there is actually no way for the incident to occur the way its depicted without adding in steps. All accounts pretty much agree the person was rushed by the cop and that a scuffle broke out. The witness doesn't have any input on what was said as well. Does the situation take on a radically different scenario if Barger says "Yes officer, I'll come peacefully, just let me put my kitten down" versus "eff you I'll kill you cop! You aren't taking me in alive!" But lets get back to the conflicting statements. How does one, with no steps in between, put someone in a head lock and and cause that kind of damage with elbow strikes? Now we can infer what happened based on what we want to believe happened, which you all have done, but at this point we don't have enough info (my position all along) to really judge what happened here. The emotional reaction you all have displayed here is why we need more body cams, more independent review, and more accountability for people tampering with evidence.
I think the witness provided the "steps in between" when he stated that the cop charged the guy.
Not in any way shape or form. Both accounts agree the cop put hands on the guy. You're adding info to your narrative.
The worst part of all this bullshit you people are trapped into, is that you've missed the worst part of this story. Why did the cop admit to pulling his gun? That weapon should only be drawn to protect the lives of the officer or surrounding populace. It is not a compliance tool. Why did this situation get so out of control that the cop felt the need to use deadly force OR why did the cop use it so early as a compliance tool?
You read what you want but the "in between step" in the cop rushing the citizen.

This should be mandatory or no fed money:
Federal data on police shootings is notoriously inaccurate and incomplete — in large part because the data they collect is voluntarily reported, and most police departments do not participate.

NEw York cops stopped a 32 year old black woman who driving a BMW. She told them she Is a banker and she owned the car. They thought this was not possible and she was mental. So they chucked her in a mental ward and drugged her up. Finally they realized she was telling the truth and let her go. She got a.hospital bill for $13,000. Good old liberland.

A young black man who is a city employee and church leader was shot by a police officer in San Francisco. His car broke down and he was walking home. An unmarked police car came up to him and for some reason the officer shot him. This crap has to stop. To many policemen are not to bright and have a authority ego that is dangerous. "Do what I say boy and no lip, or I will shoot you." Pay better, train better, and get smarter cops.

What a rough ridin' moron. Does that idiot know how many people have been blasted on camera by the cops? A rough ridin' lot, that's how many. He's so rough ridin' clever but not smart enough not to reach down for his cell phone in a dark area where the cops can't see and where people usually have a holstered gun.
If you think cops are violent and crooked and you need to treat then as if they are a felon pointing a gun at you. In this situation you have one job, don't get shot. His little cute stunt was stupid and could have got his black ass killed.

update on when i got pissed about that kansas state troops assn telebully and tweeted at the AG office: they sent me a complaint application and i filled it out and then an investigator sent me an email asking for more info and i ignored it because i really wasnt hot enough by that time to fill out any more forms but i just got a letter from the KSTA skeezy lawyers both apologizing and saying that i was probably mistaken about the source of the call but promising to put me on their no call list.
i want them to keep calling though so i can let them have it and so i can practice verbal arguing

I was wondering where the blatant racist comment would come from. I’m honestly not even surprised.
Im a racist just because im right.a lot of folks agree with me they just don't have the guts to say it out loud.you need to sweep around your own back door before you call somebody a racist.but thats what you do any time some body don't agree with you you call them a racist.
What are you even talking about? I am not the one who brought race into this at all. Maybe you should stop making assumptions about people you clearly know nothing about just because they don’t agree with you.
The media brought race into it just like they always do.i for one don't give a dam who agrees with me and who don't.so you have s good day .love you to.

That's complete bullshit. Get it right? :lol: The police and the city fought to keep this video from being released and tried to tie it up in red tape in hopes that it would be forgotten about. The city also settled with the family for $5 million even before the family filed suit. They knew damn well what was on that video, and when the mayor said this week he hasn't seen the video he's either lying or has complete apathy for what happened. sloppy case my ass smh they should have convicted this cop a year ago.

And as for not rushing, the fact that it took 400 days to release the video is one of the reason's people are so pissed off.

Jesus, that sounds like a really bad cop movie. I mean, the main act was :surprised: enough, but hitting the pedestrian en route, then trying to frame them for that and planting guns and stuff....I mean, holy crap.
One step needed to rectify this is to raise the penalties for such actions. I mean, if a cop is ever caught planting evidence, that should be a really rough ridin' long sentence. Same with absurdly false charges.
Some of the police have grown up watching too many cop shows.

an accident. no possible way to determine intent.
-
can we prove a case of intentional discharge of that weapon beyond a reasonable doubt? We could not," District Attorney Mike Ramsey said.
If you can't prove it when you have a video of a cop pulling a gun, pointing it, it discharging, then the cop reholstering the weapon, then when can you prove it? I mean, if cops just refrain from saying "I am going to shoot you now" before shooting ppl, they should have the same equal chance of just saying it was an accident.
This is ridiculous.
-
that's a very restrictive attitude, cns. maybe they should be allowed to state their intent to shoot, providing they wink at the camera?
-
'who knows what that wink meant? We can't even be sure it was a wink and not a wince. It is possible he winced when he accidentally shot the victim, therefore we can't press charges."

A Leawood family lost their lawsuit against the police department after their house was raided by a SWAT team. They were growing tea leaves in a hydroponic setup. Cops searched through their trash and misidentified the leaves as marijuana. Then raided their house and stuck guns in their kids faces. Judge felt it was totally justified. The parents were ex-CIA.
I would assume Police 101 would teach you the difference between weed leaves and every other plant leaf. But hey, what do I know?

Cops just killed a couple people on the west side of Chicago. One was a nineteen year old man that the police were called on because he was threatening his father with a bat. The second was a 56 year old woman who lives in the same building and was killed by what appears to be a stray bullet. The police were the only ones involved who had firearms.

Especially after watching Making a Murderer, I tend to agree. They should have special prosecutors for cases involving cops. Maybe federal employees or something. At the very least the prosecutor should be from an entirely different jurisdiction.

I'm starting to wonder if the bigger societal issue isn't the prosecutor's office(s) on a macro level. Sure we all agree what these cops are doing is mumped, but the prosecutors aren't a check or deterrent for the "bad apples" in these departments. How do you overhauls the check on the police when they rely on the cops to make cases. Fed level independent agency of just police and AD checking? Or rather remove ADs from the process entirely and have this agency only handle cop incidents, no local/state involvement?

Regardless of whether you think they are underpaid (they still have strong unions and amazing pensions), they are a product of their environment. Like, the officer yelling at the guy in Arizona like he was a rabid dog (or worse) was simply because that is how they are trained to deal with suspects. If he was well paid (which is highly possible), he would have acted the same way.

The cops went to that gas station knowing well in advance he had a gun.

Oh, I totally agree. I believe the first shot you hear is the taser going off and then the struggle on the ground. I'd probably be pretty rough ridin' squirmy too, after just getting tased.

I really don't know what to think of this video. First of all, the woman is oddly calm for having her bf shot and dying right in front of her. Maybe in shock? But with enough wits to start live streaming the thing on Facebook?
Second, the video only really shows that the guy got shot while in the car (which is bad enough). It's mainly just a narration of the event, which is incredibly mumped up if true, but I'd still wait to see if there is a second story of events before taking it as entirely true.

Where is the instinct in these guys? I know you have to be prepared for anything and part of that preparation I want to believe is not shoot first and ask questions later. MOST people are by and large law abiding citizens, and law abiding citizens often get nervous when being stopped by the police because they're simply not used to being in those situations and are nervous because they're not the kind of people who even want to look like they're intentionally doing something wrong.
Not one damn thing about these last two incidents were even remotely close to a situation that should have resulted in anyone being harmed. It's just cops that were IMO looking for trouble.

This video... a few thoughts in no particular order:
1. Starts after the shooting. I'm hoping the cop had a body cam. Otherwise we're going to be back to he said/she said.
2. The story the woman tells seems plausible. He said he had a gun with a concealed carry permit - reasonable. The cop asked for ID - reasonable. The guy reached for his ID - reasonable. Her story is consistent.
3. The woman is oddly calm. Shock - sure. But not too shocked to whip out her phone and start live streaming on Facebook? And she's talking to "Facebook" like its a person. Is that a thing? She's just sitting here by her dying boyfriend talking to "Facebook." Something strange here and I don't think shock explains it.
4. The cop is completely unhinged. I don't know how I'd react after just shooting someone - maybe the way this guy does - but I would expect the cop to behave more calmly/professionally. You can hear him off camera and he has completely lost his crap.
5. The cop shot the guy with a woman and a little girl in the car. I teared up a little when the girl picks up the phone.
So I guess in summary I don't know if the woman is telling the truth, her story seems believable but her behavior is very strange, but the cop's behavior does not look good for him at all.

It's incredibly obvious based on how this pig was yelling at this woman and how they treated her after they killed her boyfriend despite her demeanor that this cop has preconceived notions about black people that ultimately got someone killed. Police officers devaluing the lives of minorities is an accepted practice in this country and we will continue to have our brothers and sisters treated like wild animals until the police are properly trained, vetted, and punished when they break their oat how to serve and protect all citizens.

Well if you're "just asking a question" the answer is, how in the eff am I supposed to know? I don't have video of the cop in Fresno yelling at the significant other of the person he just murdered.
I have "just a question" for you. Why do you feel the need to turn this into a tit for tat? Do you think white people are systematically mistreated and the only thing to do to make it right is to show all of the white people killed by cops too?

The reason the BLM supporters get mad when people try to say All Lives Matter is that the killings are significantly more likely to happen to black people. Nobody is saying that some shitty cops don't shoot white people too, but that the problem is disproportionately affecting the black community. By saying All Lives Matter instead of Black Lives Matter, people invalidate the black community's experiences and fears of police brutality. In addition, the BLM movement feels cops in a number of these situations aren't being held accountable.
The kid you talked about in Fresno was killed by a shitty cop but that is one example in however long compared to two black people killed in about 24 hours. It will be interesting to see if the consequences vary for the Fresno cops vs the other officers. This part is similar to Trayvon case when dumb people on FB would post that some black kids killed a white kid. The crime happens both ways but the majority of the outrage is that GZ was able to walk free while the black kids were properly held accountable. If a black neighborhood watch guy disobeyed direction from dispatch and killed GZ would he have walked free?
Do you think the problem doesn't happen disproportionately to black people? If you acted as some of the black people who were killed, do you think you would've been shot? Maybe a time or two the cop was poorly trained or a POS and bound to kill someone of any race eventually. I do not think you can realistically believe that all of these killings would've happened exactly the same if the victim was white.

This was well written and thought out. I obviously know there's a difference, and that racism exists in a lot of these cases. I've seen it myself on spring break. When my friend got pulled over for speeding, the rough ridin' cop had his gun out and came to the passenger door, and told him to put his hands on the wheel. He was 15 over and that was their approach.

If you accept the premise that all cops are racist white men, conspiring to shoot as many little black boys as possible, the BLM thing is easy to sympathize with. But, of course, that would make you an ignorant Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).
No particular race is more likely to be killed by a cop than another. There are tens of millions of civilian police interactions every month. A black and a white guy each have less than a .001% of being killed in those interactions.
I would imagine the demographics of the people killed generally aligns with the demographics of the people incarcerated for committing violent crimes.

1. I'm sorry you don't appreciate hyperbole.
2. More whites have been killed than anyone, statistically. Regardless, the chance of being killed is so rough ridin' remote it is statistically insignificant. An anecdote.
3. You don't think people who commit violent crimes are likely to engage police in violence? Interesting perspective, less interesting sociopathic response.

With reference to BLM, there are two main groups of individuals involved. One is an organized, trained, group of ppl hired for a specific job and supervised to do that job. The other group is a general group of society tied to each other by nothing more than skin color and culture. I don't care who's side anyone falls on, the only reasonable solution is for the former to make necessary changes. To expect the latter to make the changes would alter their rights to something less than other groups of society.
I mean, there may be multiple issues at play here, and ppl may disagree as to what they all are, but the one that is indisputable is that cops need more training and their protocols need to be reviewed and alter accordingly. That may not solve all the problem, but it's known and something we can address right now. Why not do that why we are trying to unwind any other additional issues there may be?
To not proceed with that is to either close your eyes and say what's happening is acceptable or to admit that this is a money issue and that it's not monetarily worth trying to fix. Both are crap human being positions, fwiw.

Per WP:
Of 990 cop shootings in 2015 494 killed white people, 258 killed black people, 178 killed Hispanics. So, white death by cop outpaced both black and Hispanic'/Latino combined in 2015 (yes I'm aware of the population %).
The population of the U.S. in 2015: approx 320 million, that works to an approximate 0.00000309375% chance of death by cop.

Guys, better training would benefit all those categories. We don't need to play for the win when it comes to getting shot by cops

There is a point where more training might yield diminishing returns or even net negative results. The goal should be to reduce it to a minimum, but also realize that there is a minimum and nothing we can reasonably do is going to change that.
-
Well let's attempt the minimum then
-
Per WP:

60% of violent criminals are white (incl Hispanic) and 36% are black (incl Hispanic) according to DOJ. Unclear how exactly Hispanic is broken up, but those numbers do correlate pretty well

I think there are still changes to be made. Did you see how scared crap less that cop was in Minnesota? I mean, that guy needs to be trained more.
How about the 911 call in Louisiana? The call was about a waived gun, they show up and tackle a guy even though no gun is being waived, rather than one cop sitting on him while the other grabs the caller to confirm identity? Again, some training or protocol changes could benefit that sitch. No?

Honestly I don't think more training is going to help the Minnesota cop guy. He just doesn't seem to be cut out for it. He needs to either find a new career, or be a cop with a lesser role and no gun. He can be one of those cops in the TV cop shows that just sits at a typewriter and types reports all day.

Good on Newt
It took me a long time, and a number of people talking to me through the years, to get a sense of this: If you are a normal white American, the truth is you don't understand being black in America and you instinctively under-estimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk. It is more dangerous to be black in America. It is more dangerous in that they are substantially more likely to end up in a situation where the police don't respect you and you could easily get killed. And sometimes for whites it's difficult to appreciate how real that is and how it's an everyday danger.

I absolutely love all the fb stories out there where the guy guys are explaining that all you have to do when pulled over while carrying is turn your gun over to the govt (cops) to avoid being shot, yet 1. The guy in Minnesota was shot before he could, and 2. Most of those gun guys have guns because they think the govt is coming for them.

I don't necessarily have a problem with #BLM, but to me this whole deal isn't about blatant racism or even poor training (though I think it would help). It's a trust issue. Situations escalate quickly when each side thinks the other is out to get them. Distrust causes innocent people to act defensive and on edge which results in police officers acting more aggressively to protect themselves. I don't think BLM does anything to help that. It is important to keep police accountable, but the more people hear that cops are out to murder black people the less likely anything good will come of it.

That's where the community outreach section of a police department is supposed to reach out to the leadership of the local segment of the Black Lives Matter movement and begin to rebuild that trust. We've back slid from a community based policing approach to what resembles a broken windows approach. There's data to show which method brings about that best results, it's not the latter.

When I get pulled over, I grab my ID and CCL and in one hand and place both of my hands in sight on the edge of my window so the guy can see them. When he approaches my window, I explain that I have a CCL and I have a weapon in my console. I have never been asked to surrender the weapon and most generally they don't even say much about it. That is in Kansas though.....

But the problem is that national movements like BLM detract from a community based approach. Dallas has had one of the lowest instances of violence against police among all major cities, and there were no issues from the actual BLM protest. Still, you get someone willing to kill themselves in order to kill a few cops in that setting just because of outrage over stuff that happened hundreds of miles away.

Where is the instinct in these guys? I know you have to be prepared for anything and part of that preparation I want to believe is not shoot first and ask questions later. MOST people are by and large law abiding citizens, and law abiding citizens often get nervous when being stopped by the police because they're simply not used to being in those situations and are nervous because they're not the kind of people who even want to look like they're intentionally doing something wrong.
Not one damn thing about these last two incidents were even remotely close to a situation that should have resulted in anyone being harmed. It's just cops that were IMO looking for trouble.

Lawyer for.Minnesota cop who shot the black guy was.because of the presence of the gun and he thought the driver was reaching for it. His girlfriend video covers the aftermath and just gives her viewpoint. I watched it for the first time. The shot guy has been stopped 32 times since.2012. This cop is in deep.manure, but we.don't know everything. Remember the outcome of the Baltimore patty wagon ride trial.

Neither one were model citizens, that doesn't mean they had to get shot.
The kid out in Fresno apparently didn't come to heel fast enough for the cops, so he had to be shot as well.

Dallas has had one of the lowest instances of violence against police among all major cities, and there were no issues from the actual BLM protest. Still, you get someone willing to kill themselves in order to kill a few cops in that setting just because of outrage over stuff that happened hundreds of miles away.
What is your point?
My point is that the BLM movement is not productive to the cause. So far it seems to have just fueled a general feeling of anger and resentment toward police officers in general based on some isolated (though egregious) incidents in other jurisdictions. Not a fan of #Alllivesmatter for similar reasons.

Probably because your neighborhood is blocking a major highway.

is that private property?

the #1 rule of effective protest is to not inconvenience anyone or be noticed

I wouldn't allow POS screaming at me about rough ridin' non-sense either. Good for them.

The thing about protests tho, is there's about 20% of the ppl their that want to send a message and about 80% of the ppl are reckless dipshits, trying to create havoc. Sad, really.

Great post by black cop destroying everything blm stands for.
Facts :curse:
I have come to realize something that is still hard for me to understand to this day. The following may be a shock to some coming from an African American, but the mere fact that it may be shocking to some is prima facie evidence of the sad state of affairs that we are in as Humans.
I used to be so torn inside growing up. Here I am, a young African-American born and raised in Brooklyn, NY wanting to be a cop. I watched and lived through the crime that took place in the hood. My own black people killing others over nothing. Crack heads and heroin addicts lined the lobby of my building as I shuffled around them to make my way to our 1 bedroom apartment with 6 of us living inside. I used to be woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of gun fire, only to look outside and see that it was 2 African Americans shooting at each other.
It never sat right with me. I wanted to help my community and stop watching the blood of African Americans spilled on the street at the hands of a fellow black man. I became a cop because black lives in my community, along with ALL lives, mattered to me, and wanted to help stop the bloodshed.
As time went by in my law enforcement career, I quickly began to realize something. I remember the countless times I stood 2 inches from a young black man, around my age, laying on his back, gasping for air as blood filled his lungs. I remember them bleeding profusely with the unforgettable smell of deoxygenated dark red blood in the air, as it leaked from the bullet holes in his body on to the hot sidewalk on a summer day. I remember the countless family members who attacked me, spit on me, cursed me out, as I put up crime scene tape to cordon off the crime scene, yelling and screaming out of pain and anger at the sight of their loved ones taking their last breath. I never took it personally, I knew they were hurting. I remember the countless times I had to order new uniforms, because the ones I had on, were bloody from the blood of another black victim…of black on black crime. I remember the countless times I got back in my patrol car, distraught after having watched another black male die in front me, having to start my preliminary report something like this:
Suspect- Black/ Male, Victim-Black /Male.
I remember the countless times I canvassed the area afterwards, and asked everyone “did you see who did it”, and the popular response from the very same family members was always, “eff the Police, I ain't no snitch, Im gonna take care of this myself". This happened every single time, every single homicide, black on black, and then my realization became clearer.
I woke up every morning, put my freshly pressed uniform on, shined my badge, functioned checked my weapon, kissed my wife and kid, and waited for my wife to say the same thing she always does before I leave, “Make sure you come back home to us”. I always replied, “I will”, but the truth was I was never sure if I would. I almost lost my life on this job, and every call, every stop, every moment that I had this uniform on, was another possibility for me to almost lose my life again. I was a target in the very community I swore to protect, the very community I wanted to help. As a matter of fact, they hated my very presence. They called me “Uncle Tom”, and “wanna be white boy”, and I couldn’t understand why. My own fellow black men and women attacking me, wishing for my death, wishing for the death of my family. I was so confused, so torn, I couldn’t understand why my own black people would turn against me, when every time they called …I was there. Every time someone died….I was there. Every time they were going through one of the worst moments in their lives…I was there. So why was I the enemy? I dove deep into that question…Why was I the enemy? Then my realization became clearer.
I spoke to members of the community and listened to some of the complaints as to why they hated cops. I then did research on the facts. I also presented facts to these members of the community, and listened to their complaints in response. This is what I learned:
Complaint: Police always targeting us, they always messing with the black man.
Fact: A city where the majority of citizens are black (Baltimore for example) …will ALWAYS have a higher rate of black people getting arrested, it will ALWAYS have a higher rate of blacks getting stopped, and will ALWAYS have a higher rate of blacks getting killed, and the reason why is because a city with those characteristics will ALWAYS have a higher rate of blacks committing crime. The statistics will follow the same trend for Asians if you go to China, for Hispanics if you go to Puerto Rico, for whites if you go to Russia, and the list goes on. It’s called Demographics
Complaint: More black people get arrested than white boys.
Fact: Black People commit a grossly disproportionate amount of crime. Data from the FBI shows that Nationwide, Blacks committed 5,173 homicides in 2014, whites committed 4,367. Chicago’s death toll is almost equal to that of both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined. Chicago’s death toll from 2001–November, 26 2015 stands at 7,401. The combined total deaths during Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2015: 4,815) and Operation Enduring Freedom/Afghanistan (2001-2015: 3,506), total 8,321.
Complaint: Blacks are the only ones getting killed by police, or they are killed more.
Fact: As of July 2016, the breakdown of the number of US Citizens killed by Police this year is, 238 White people killed, 123 Black people killed, 79 Hispanics, 69 other/or unknown race.
Fact: Black people kill more other blacks than Police do, and there are only protest and outrage when a cop kills a black man. University of Toledo criminologist Dr. Richard R. Johnson examined the latest crime data from the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports and Centers for Disease Control and found that an average of 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012. Professor Johnson’s research further concluded that 112 black men died from both justified and unjustified police-involved killings annually during this same period.
Complaint: Well we already doing a good job of killing ourselves, we don’t need the Police to do it. Besides they should know better.
The more I listened, the more I realized. The more I researched, the more I realized. I would ask questions, and would only get emotional responses & inferences based on no facts at all. The more killing I saw, the more tragedy, the more savagery, the more violence, the more loss of life of a black man at the hands of another black man….the more I realized.
I haven’t slept well in the past few nights. Heartbreak weighs me down, rage flows through my veins, and tears fills my eyes. I watched my fellow officers assassinated on live television, and the images of them laying on the ground are seared into my brain forever. I couldn’t help but wonder if it had been me, a black man, a black cop, on TV, assassinated, laying on the ground dead,..would my friends and family still think black lives mattered? Would my life have mattered? Would they make t-shirts in remembrance of me? Would they go on tv and protest violence? Would they even make a Facebook post, or share a post in reference to my death?
All of my realizations came to this conclusion. Black Lives do not matter to most black people. Only the lives that make the national news matter to them. Only the lives that are taken at the hands of cops or white people, matter. The other thousands of lives lost, the other black souls that I along with every cop, have seen taken at the hands of other blacks, do not matter. Their deaths are unnoticed, accepted as the “norm”, and swept underneath the rug by the very people who claim and post “black lives matter”. I realized that this country is full of ignorance, where an educated individual will watch the ratings-driven news media, and watch a couple YouTube video clips, and then come to the conclusion that they have all the knowledge they need to have in order to know what it feels like to have a bullet proof vest as part of your office equipment, “Stay Alive” as part of your daily to do list, and having insurance for your health insurance because of the high rate of death in your profession. They watch a couple videos and then they magically know in 2 minutes 35 seconds, how you are supposed to handle a violent encounter, which took you 6 months of Academy training, 2 – 3 months of field training, and countless years of blood, sweat, tears and broken bones experiencing violent encounters and fine tuning your execution of the Use of Force Continuum. I realized that there are even cops, COPS, duly sworn law enforcement officers, who are supposed to be decent investigators, who will publicly go on the media and call other white cops racist and KKK, based on a video clip that they watched thousands of miles away, which was filmed after the fact, based on a case where the details aren’t even known yet and the investigation hasn’t even begun. I realized that most in the African American community refuse to look at solving the bigger problem that I see and deal with every day, which is black on black crime taking hundreds of innocent black lives each year, and instead focus on the 9 questionable deaths of black men, where some were in the act of committing crimes. I realized that they value the life of a Sex Offender and Convicted Felon, [who was in the act of committing multiple felonies: felon in possession of a firearm-FELONY, brandishing and threatening a homeless man with a gun-Aggravated Assault in Florida: FELONY, who resisted officers who first tried to taze him, and WAS NOT RESTRAINED, who can be clearly seen in one of the videos raising his right shoulder, then shooting it down towards the right side of his body exactly where the firearm was located and recovered] more than the lives of the innocent cops who were assassinated in Dallas protecting the very people that hated them the most. I realized that they refuse to believe that most cops acknowledge that there are Bad cops who should have never been given a badge & gun, who are chicken crap and will shoot a cockroach if it crawls at them too fast, who never worked in the hood and may be intimidated. That most cops dread the thought of having to shoot someone, and never see the turmoil and mental anguish that a cop goes through after having to kill someone to save his own life. Instead they believe that we are all blood thirsty killers, because the media says so, even though the numbers prove otherwise. I realize that they truly feel as if the death of cops will help people realize the false narrative that Black Lives Matter, when all it will do is take their movement two steps backwards and label them domestic terrorist. I realized that some of these people, who say Black Lives Matter, are full of hate and racism. Hate for cops, because of the false narrative that more black people are targeted and killed. Racism against white people, for a tragedy that began 100’s of years ago, when most of the white people today weren’t even born yet. I realized that some in the African American community’s idea of “Justice” is the prosecution of ANY and EVERY cop or white man that kills or is believed to have killed a black man, no matter what the circumstances are. I realized the African American community refuses to look within to solve its major issues, and instead makes excuses and looks outside for solutions. I realized that a lot of people in the African American community lead with hate, instead of love. Division instead of Unity. Turmoil and rioting, instead of Peace. I realized that they have become the very entity that they claim they are fighting against.
I realized that the very reasons I became a cop, are the very reasons my own people hate me, and now in this toxic hateful racially charged political climate, I am now more likely to die,... and it is still hard for me to understand…. to this day.

So we're walking back from the celebrity softball game yesterday through pioneer square approaching occidental park, which is a big public space. A guy runs up on my buddy and they apparently know each other and are asking what they're each doing down there. The guy is saying that as he's one of the few black guys at work, they've got him down there to undercover mingle in the protest and see what's going down but that he can't press people too much or it'd be entrapment. I remember that my buddy has a friend who's a cop so this must be him. Ironically, I'm undercover as a person who'd be impressed by his ruse. So he has to go do his thing and we keep going through where this so-called protest is, but there's maybe 10 people max that are even gathered and they're just chilling with a few signs. Meanwhile the whole block is canvassed with cops in varying amounts of tactical gear, making us feel like we were walking through a war zone.
The "protest" didn't make the news.
Also, next time you're participating in a #BLM rally and some random black guy starts chatting you up about turning up the protest, ignore him.

The locker room, boys-will-be-boys mentality that we decry in sports (Baylor football for example) exists in very similar ways in cop shops. So much of their methodologies are seemingly driven by proving they have bigger metaphorical dicks or actual assault vehicles than the public.
I've been in training with cops where tactical missions are played out, and the way they get hyped up for these things even had me acting a fool with my toy gun towards the (#acting) perps.

Agreed, absolutely disgusting

I simply don't understand why police officers aren't trained too utilize non lethal shots in certain situations. In this case and the dude in Baton Rouge the victims clearly weren't cooperating but they also posed no immediate threat to the safety of the murderous officers.
To watch them keep pumping lead into the body of a dying man because he can't put his hands out is gross.

Keep shooting until rigor sets in to be completely sure he won't get the imaginary gun they were afraid of.

Your posts makes some fundamental mistakes about where firearms are on the use of force continuum and how firearms and ballistics actually work. It's nice to think of nonlethal shots, but they are nearly impossible to deploy effectively.
These videos though don't show the cops grasping that use of force continuum either. Continuing to shoot after a threat is ended shows terrible restraint and a cowardice not compatible with a job we allow to legitimately use violence on the state's behalf.

Only because the cops forgot to kill this one can you almost laugh at the absurdity of it all.
Kinsey’s wife Joyce told WSVN she’s just glad he is alive and able to tell the story of what happened to him. Kinsey said he was suffering flashbacks to the shooting “every time I close my eyes” and had only wanted to help his patient.
“I was really more worried about him than myself, because as long as I’ve got my hands up, they’re not going to shoot me,” Kinsey said. “This is what I’m thinking, ‘They’re not going to shoot me.’ Wow, was I wrong.”

The thing about cops is they are mostly high school drop outs. There are obviously exceptions but think of the miserable losers you went to school with that are now cops.

but they are trained that any unexpected movement could be a movement to a gun that will end their life - when you're trained to fire at something this benign, it's easy to make the leap to shoot at things even less threatening. Not saying this is what happened since the video doesn't show the shooting but really I think this is a reflection of a systematic problem with police training rather than one dumb cop.

National BLM group criticizes Wichita cookout
A Black Lives Matter organization in Washington, D.C. has criticized Wichita’s First Step Community Cook Out on Sunday, KSN News reports.
A tweet by the Washington organization said, “This is not in line with our principles.”
But two community leaders who helped organize the cookout with the Wichita Police Department said the event was a proactive attempt to address longtime community issues.
How dare they engage in constructive community outreach!!!!! This is a violent, anti-cop, hate group!!!! We're not trying to improve and resolve the issue, if we did that we'd have nothing else to do!!!!

not just humans, best for dogs to avoid all cops too

That's just horrific.
-
if you think it's bad for humans, you should see the numbers on dogs. police are basically dog death squads that do a little human harassing on the side.

Yes, only time I've seen a cop ready to pull their gun is when my dog barked at him... from the backseat of my car.
-
No knock warrant? Yup, your dog is going to get shot
-
The country's shittiest cops are now saying they didn't mean to shoot Kinsey, they meant to shoot the mentally disabled guy that was just sitting there(after Kinsey told the cops the guy was autistic) and are such bad shots they hit a guy laying down 6' away.
It amazes me how super rough ridin' dumb ppl think that we are all even more dumb than they are.
That cop needs to do time for attempted murder, imo.

so I was saying cops shouldn't have guns in reference to the woman on the bus who let the perp grab her gun but also shooting a guy with his hands up next to someone with a toy truck also qualifies.

So the dog attacked him 'through the fence', yet he was on private property. And he returned to the car to get the AR-15? Was that poorly written or is my comprehension fading? Or does that show how ludicrous his actions were?

I assumed he first shot the dog with his service piece, then put the dog out of its misery with the AR-15. Apparently he really really wanted to shoot something with 2 different guns that day. It may just be normal behavior for them. A gun unused is a gun wasted, or something like that.

So it will be interesting to see what the reaction to the Chicago video released today is. On one hand, the guy killed is an unquestionably bad dude and criminal. On the other, for the police to disregard protocol, turn off a body cam, and skip straight over Judge and Jury to executioner is disgusting.

Turning off the body cam should be a presumption of first degree

these police officers invited citizens to a "training demonstration" to better understand police tactics, and then of course accidentally shot one of the citizens (a 73 year old woman) to death

Cops don't learn. Its institutional, it seems. I heard a story on 98.1 yesterday talking about how the Johnson County Sheriff dept is having trouble finding ppl which would normally be an issue, but evidently they are on the verge of the largest hiring need they have seen since the '80's. They had the Sheriff on and the first thing he said is "we need people with guts!".
None of this is changing until they hire a different personality set and train them differently, imo.

So, Milwaukee... Black cop shoots armed black criminal who points gun at cop. Black people riot and specifically target white people and cops for violence. Not a good day.

Not excusing the rioting here at all, although I'm far from "rioting is always bad," but you stripped this issue of every ounce of nuance that exists in Milwaukee. There has also been no reports of this dude pointing that weapon. He was a bad guy, no need to distort the events.
-
I'm probably more in the "rioting is always bad" camp.
-

I would expect you to feel that way. There is literally no reason for white males to ever feel civil disobedience is necessary to be heard.
-
Maybe it's just cause I'm white, but I definitely do not consider rioting and civil disobedience to be the same thing. I think riot implies an element of chaos and lack of any singular purpose other than maybe to cause damage to people and property.
-
#crackers :curse:
-
Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal to obey certain laws, demands, and commands of a government, or of an occupying international power. Civil disobedience is a symbolic or ritualistic violation of the law, rather than a rejection of the system as a whole. Civil disobedience is sometimes, though not always,[1][2] defined as being nonviolent resistance.

I understand rioting -- and even sympathize with rioters sometimes -- but I also can't think of a scenario where it's not bad.
-
How are any of us "heard?" Without 1% type money all we have is a vote, and sometimes letters/emails to people who vote on our behalf. Beyond that maybe membership in special interest groups? If there's some way lil ole Emo can get Kevin Yoder to not vote like an idiot I'd love to hear it. Also please know if there isn't really a way I'm not going to burn down your business because that's always a bad thing.

So you guys gonna tell me or not?
-
broadly, i think emo's post said it pretty well. as a white male, i don't feel like any level of govt gives much of a crap what i think. if i wanted to be heard, civil disobedience would amplify my voice far more than showing up at at any govt office and politely flashing my skin color and secondary sex characters.
to construct a more narrow argument, all of the abuse of police powers suffered by black males are also suffered by white males, just at lower rates. we can and should be rioting about that on our own behalf. unfortunately, we're stupid and lazy.
-
I disobey a lot? Usually not in a civil manner though
-
Yea, we all should get off our lazy asses and riot until police start treating us less violently.
-

I don't think that's it. I think that, at least in my situation, "we" have more to lose. Really, it's a poverty issue more than a race issue. And it's not the have's and have nots, it's the have's and have nothing's. I suspect that the correlation between personal wealth and the likelihood of being mistreated by police is higher than the correlation between race and the rate of police mistreatment.
-
I was once strapped into a chair in six point restraints for 4 hours. This happened because I was cussing and yelling about my phone call. It was a combo of police and corrections officers that pinned me down. 8 in total that rushed the holding cell. Anywho, 3 hours in a co came in to check on me and see if I had calmed down. I had. He said he'd give me another hour to make sure.
You don't know emotional rollercoasters until you are strapped on place in 6 ways for hours.
-
Might be the worst experience of my life. Well aside from one.
-
I'm not sure how this is relevant?
-
The Bundy group used civil disobedience to protest BLM. (land management, not black lives matter)
-
I don't think that's it. I think that, at least in my situation, "we" have more to lose.
you're probably right. white americans also have a much weaker sense of racial identity compared to black americans (or most american minority groups). so when we see some other white male being abused we tend to think more along the lines of "wonder what that idiot did" rather than "there but the grace of god go i".
-
I'm not sure how this is relevant?
It's not. I just wanted to tell that story

jeez, the shooting is terrible but the next minute and a half is just as bad. Do police ever give first aid to people they shoot? I realize it's best interest just to let them die, but man. Tough to watch.
-
Also, going back to King's "why I never believe what cops say after they shoot someone" piece:
Crutcher approached the responding officers on foot and failed to put his hands up when the cops ordered him to, police said.
"He refused to follow commands given by the officers," Tulsa police spokeswoman Jeanne MacKenzie told the Associated Press. "They continued to talk to him, he continued not to listen and follow any commands."
*edited to add the part about hands being up

I kind of get your point, but this is real life and it's not ok to cause a riot just to prove that it could have happened even without your intervention. That's like if someone took their hands off the steering wheel and you reach over and jerk it to the side to show them how dangerous that could be if you hit a pot hole in the road.
I have no opinions as to whether this riot was incited or organic, but the difference matters. Maybe not to the overall message of police violence but certainly to the culpability of those involved.

Our system is imperfect. Riots are a product of that.

Sadly there were no professional rent-a-mobs for the guy gunned down in Cali awhile back, just a few locals trying to protest who were quickly dispersed by police. Apparently indigenous populations are easily quelled and the pros have to be brought in to BITFD.

well you also have a smaller and more conservative Fresno compared to Charlotte. but "rent-a-mobs" is catchy!

I mean I know it's not cool, but maybe there are people who, you know can't just pack their crap and leave who are working in non violent ways for change. Maybe the pros come in they just make worse and slow down the process.
BTW, I just ordered a book that looks like a Glock on Amazon. #pumped

Arrested on 1st degree manslaughter. Indictment said she let herself get too emotional and escalated it. Part of this came from her taped interview. Her original defense was she just had training on identifying people under the influence of PCP and he exhibited the signs. One theory floating around town was part of that training was also "If you suspect it, don't just pull your gun out and start shouting demands. If they aren't an immediate threat, wait for backup to help subdue them. People on PCP are often irrational and are hard to subdue. Don't be a hero." This is where the emotional part of it comes in. She didn't follow her training.
I know this isn't appropriate for this thread, but people always call Tulsa a racist shithole. The police department has a strong track record of engagement and trust building. The city department is broken into 3 areas, with 1 area being North Tulsa which is a higher density of black citizens. There is a very strong effort to get officers in this section involved and attending meetings at churches and community centers and being active with the NAACP. There is a strong emphasis on knowing the citizens in your patrol. When people wanted to demonstrate after the shooting, the police didn't show up in riot gear, they showed up and participated. After the shooting happened, the police chief immediately made her interview available to the DA and provided a full, honest assessment of her conduct during the shooting. I've lived here long enough I'm starting to associate Tulsa as home and take some civic pride. When I moved here, this was the last place where I thought the police department itself would try to change its own culture from within.

I am not accepting that he had PCP in the car simply because the TPD lied about the window being down. They said he reached into the window to get something but the window had blood splatter on it.
r.e., Tulsa being a racist shithole and the police training. There were a lot of mumped up things about this shooting that makes the TPD look awful ava like they fall into the same trappings about black people that everyone else does. First of all I'm confused as to why either a disabled vehicle or a citizen high on drugs required three vehicles and a helicopter. Speaking of the helicopter, if the TPD has been receiving training on minority and community relations, those helicopter cops should take it again; one calling Crutcher a "thing" and the other "a big bad dude on something." You absolutely cannot police equally if there is a segment of the population you view as subhuman.
I know there are great people in Tulsa but the police department clearly needs help. One final Tulsa story. I worked at Wildcat Creek when they first opened the golf course. There was a guy who came in the very first day we were open to the public and somehow we got on the topic of me being born in Oklahoma City, the guy says to me in a thick drawl "Oklahoma City, dem yankees down there, Tulsa is the real South." Our conversation ended.
-
1. I don't think the helicopter was in the air just for him. However, it was there to help find him if he ran.
2. On the 3 cars thing. She thought he was on PCP. He wasn't responding to her verbal commands. What I've heard from someone connected to the PD is she was trained to observe until she got backup to help subdue him. That's why you need 3 cars. 5 people physically subduing him is safer for him than 2 with guns pulled. An overmatched person with a gun is more likely to get scared and shoot, like she did. The exact words told to me was "Once you believe someone is on PCP, you're trained to subdue them and get them to a safe environment. They won't respond to what you're telling them to do, so you can't expect them to. You don't just pull out your gun and treat them like a regular, hostile suspect. If they aren't an immediate threat on their own, you wait for backup and get them detained safely".
3. I wouldn't be surprised if the one helicopter cop is back on Sunday morning church traffic and parking tickets. Her husband has to go.
4. They said she reported his window was down. They have to come out right away with the officer's tale of events. If they don't come out with her story, then it looks like they're covering up. Once they got all the facts they could, they turned them over to the DA. The department stopped trying to protect her almost immediately. The DA didn't come up with "she let her emotions escalate it" on their own. That came from PD management. The victim's family thanked the chief for being transparent and honest with their assessment with the DA. It sounds like the charges came with an endorsement of the department. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that happens within a week in most places in the south/southish.
I'm not saying their aren't racist in the PD. I'm saying everyone is calling for police cultural change, and they are trying. You aren't going to purge the old culture and racists quickly. The ingrained racists aren't changing. It takes time for them to die off. I do give this police administration credit for trying to start that change at the top and working on turning the department with the new/younger officers. You say the department needs help. I agree, but I think they are actively trying to get it and help themselves.

Didn't his GF put the entire encounter on FB live? Seems like we have a better idea here than in any of these other shootings, and the cop still got off. "...but totally, I feared for my life."

You should try to have that out and ready before the cop approaches the vehicle. Even if you were going to tell the cop about your gun, the last thing you want to do is to reach into an area where the gun is and let the cop guess whether you are actually grabbing the insurance or the gun.

That was the only bit of useful info i got from my CCL class. How to carry and not get shot. I was told (by a police officer) who taught our class that it is best tell them even when not asked when he comes up so he does not see it if you move to get your license or get in the glove box.
I keep mine in the console so when I had them my license I also hand them my CCL. I had never once (4 times) had the officer even ask where it was.

As much as I respect his commitment to keep classic american iron on the road a high mileage accord might have been the better buy
Mr. Castile’s sister Allysza said her brother’s love of wide-bodied, older-model cars, like the 1997 Oldsmobile he bought for $275 and was driving when he was shot, attracted police officers’ attention.
Ms. Castile was pulled over three times when she borrowed his car, she said, because “those are mostly stereotyped as drug dealer-type cars.”

It's amazing how a shitty off the shelf GoPro can survive being strapped to a snowboarder's helmet as they tumble thousands of feet down a mountain yet police body cameras and dashcams can't even be turned on or even if they are turned on manage to not capture video because of a malfunction.

It's like things work when you want them to record, and they don't work when you'd rather them not record.

Guess they lowered the bar to fulfill diversity requirements.
http://www.startribune.com/despite-wave-of-retirements-mpls-police-struggle-to-hire-diverse-force/271772331/ (http://www.startribune.com/despite-wave-of-retirements-mpls-police-struggle-to-hire-diverse-force/271772331/)
Last year, Mayor Betsy Hodges posted a note about Noor, lauding his hiring as a “wonderful sign” and shining example of community-oriented policing. She wrote:
“I want to take a moment to recognize Officer Mohamed Noor, the newest Somali officer in the Minneapolis Police Department. Officer Noor has been assigned to the 5th Precinct, where his arrival has been highly celebrated, particularly by the Somali community in and around Karmel Mall. The community even hosted a meet and greet event (see pics) to welcome him. A wonderful sign of building trust and community policing at work.”
:sdeek:
Lowered standards not just for Minneapolis but the entire country.
-
I don't think most police departments would need to lower standards for a Somali refugee to get a job with them. They barely have any standards to begin with.

Good read from the Eagle:

Also, I don't know many in SEK who would meet those job standards.
-
The job standards of not being a criminal can be pretty rigorous
-
Yeah, I think there are probably plenty of non-criminals in SEK that have a high school diploma or GED. There are a lot of alcoholics there, though. That probably makes things a little harder.
-
Yeah. I'd imagine my rehab stints would prohibit me from joining the police force. I couldn't join the military because of them.

Actually it's way worse. While trannies are disgusting they are not a drain on society. Druggies like you steal, break laws and require thousands of tax payer dollars for your time in rehab and/or jail. All in all you're a drain on society so I understand why you are a democrat.

Yeah, I got this as a breaking news alert today. I spend a lot of time in Missouri but never ever west of Jackson County. I have been west of Jackson County once in 5 years and that was in the middle of the night. Anyway I completely missed this article.
http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article153987164.html
And this little tidbit from it:
Black drivers were more likely to be pulled over and more likely to be searched. But they were less likely to be found with contraband in those searches and more likely to be arrested than white drivers across Missouri.
In 2016, black drivers were 75 percent more likely to be stopped than white drivers in Missouri. In 2015, black drivers were 69 percent more likely to be stopped than white drivers.
So even with the Ferguson stuff and increased scrutiny on racial profiling, the state of Missouri has actually gotten WORSE. WTF?
Anyone or anyone's sock care to try to justify this? Missouri is absolutely the worst.

Do you mean east of Jackson county?

He brought up Jackson county and I never looked at the article. I figured those numbers were for Jackson alone. So I was like, did they do this study primarily off of Troost? It's no mystery that KCMO is flooded with crime. How in the eff is that being racist when statistics clearly prove that point alone.
Whatever, it's LickNecky. Sorry for the confusion.

I'll take this one hope you don't mind lib...of course you don't lil sock. Black drivers should be stopped more because it's proven they have a higher percentage of criminals relative to their population. Go police, good job!
The reason they're less likely to be found with contraband is they learned where to expertly hide it during previous stints in prison.
It's not racial profiling if the race in question is a violent one.....and if the naacp wants to advance colored people, tell the parents to stop letting their kids listen to gangster rap, stop disrespecting and breaking the law and go to school.....not the hard knocks one.

jackson county MO is 63% white wacky
The entire state is only 11% black. Those so called high crime areas that are predominantly black account for well under 1% of the geographical area of the state of Missouri.

The problem is that cop was clearly emboldened by obviously terrible SLCPD policy. Even if this dude gets fired, he clearly won't, it happened a year ago, the people who truly caused this to happen are still there.
Also when they shoot one of my people we always hear about a token DOJ civil rights investigation. Well if this woman's civil rights weren't clearly violated, they should just close up that farcical institution as well.

it happened July 26

Thanks, I meant a month ago. Not sure what they are waiting to find in their investigation.

none of this would have happened if the black thug driver who hit this guy didn't try to flee the scene. So typical yet still so sad. If they cared as much about themselves as I care for them then they'd get off their butts and contribute to society. It's hard helping those that don't want help but it's God's will so I will carry that burden. Sure would be nice if there were some decent people on this site like me who care enough to point out what they can do to be contributing members of society. Most of you don't care that black people are struggling and need our help. You just ignore the problem.

maybe the most shocking part to me was when the nurse's supervisor clearly said "you're making a huge mistake. you're threatening a nurse" which should have been sort of a snap to reality for this dumbstick cop to be like, "yeah i'm in the wrong here" but nope, that's when he lost control completely

http://1350kman.com/pot-arrests-racial-bias-dominate-monday-law-board-meeting/ (http://1350kman.com/pot-arrests-racial-bias-dominate-monday-law-board-meeting/)
An interesting discussion started at Riley law board meeting about weed arrests.
Marijuana and perceived racial bias in the policing of it dominated the meeting.
“It’s not the fact that the crime is happening,” Cole, a young white male said. “It’s the fact that the stops and arrests are increasing significantly for people of color. And that’s the issue.”
Law board member and Riley County commissioner, Marvin Rodriguez, answered Cole’s remarks.
“Well sir, I have lots of black friends,” Rodriguez began. “They’ve never been stopped.”
Laughter mixed with uncomfortable groans filled the room, but Rodriguez double-downed.
“They’ve never been stopped,” he reiterated.
“That’s tokenism,” Cole responded. “That is tokenism.”
“That’s not,” Rodriquez responded before struggling on what to say next.
-
“For decades, whites have made more than blacks,” he said. “If we look at the most recent year, 2012, on average whites make $57,000 (annually), blacks make $33,0000. Well, how does that then play into the disparity in our arrests for marijuana?
“Well, if you have a lower income, you’re most likely to live in a more compact area — or an apartment complex. So, fair to say that there’s a good possibility that the racial composition of compact areas or apartment complexes is made up more of minorities than whites. So, again, when we’re responding to calls for service of ‘I smell the odor of marijuana’ or ‘I’m hearing loud noise’ or any of these other things I’ve mentioned before, unfortunately there is a race correlation between where we’re responding and the racial composition, and that’s going to lead to a disparity in the arrest for one offense or another based on race, which is going to (relate) with that, the arrest then that we make for marijuana that might arise out that situation.”
Daxplaination at its best
-
“Well yes enforcement is disproportionate, but that’s only because cops are looking around in minority neighborhoods more often...”
I also wonder how it stacks up when you break down the district’s decisions to actually prosecute violations by race.

i think this is a subversive effort to sell police violence reform to those who are instantly and overwhelmingly triggered by claims of racism in any context. pretty good job i think.

Horrific account of that shooting, these rough ridin' cops are completely out of control. That sergeant should be fired too, it seems like that entire protocol is mumped.
The author is 100% correct. I consider myself a part of the black lives matter movement and I agree that while the message needs to be told, we need allies to help make the message acceptable to the masses. I will say though that not everyone who associates themselves with Black Lives Matter will agree.

I’ll be honest: I didn’t watch the video.

I'll be honest, good, it should make you scared. It's mumped what happened to this dude, same crap happened to a 12 year old black kid and the country barely blinked. White people still mock Barack Obama for being affected by the Trayvon Martin shooting, somehow call him a racist because of it. This was Shaun King's most replied to tweet despite his timeline being full of videos and stories of murdered black people.
You can line the Red River with bodies of murdered 12 year old black boys and nothing changes. We need more Justine Damond's and Daniel Shaver's before there can be any hope of substantive change.
It's very easy, for even well meaning liberals, to brush off black people getting slaughtered because our society has provided all of us with rationalizations. "I don't live in that neighborhood." "I would do what the officer told me." Then there are the unspoken thoughts, "I don't deal drugs." "What did he do wrong." "I'm safe because I'm not black."
Black Lives Matter

Totally agree MIR. I don’t want to overstate it, but this may be the most important case yet to BLM because it gets white people to empathize in a way many like myself were not completely capable of. They should be waving this around like crazy IMO.

We need to pay cops more, higher more intelligent ones, train them better, and do brain scans on recruits. The alternative is give everyone a gun and allow us to shoot each other when deemed necessary without repercussions. You don't want me to have a gun. Mad-dog Reno lose in Wichita bad, very bad.
-
Most cops are good enough. It just needs to be a lot easier/ more common for one officer to go “hey Chief, I think officer X is pretty murdery and probably should not be allowed to have a gun ever.” Someone obviously knew about that engraving and did not speak up about it.
Also, I’m not shocked but a little surprised the judge did not let that into evidence since it certainly suggests to me the cop is predisposed to unnecessarily escalating situations (in violation of rules no less).

the idea that we should give gigantic raises to people that go around murdering people more that we want them to is probably the stupidest thing i've ever seen on this message board. and i read most of ksu-w's posts.
michigan is right. cops on normal duty should not carry firearms. and i don't even think that cops going around killing too many people is in the top 5 of shitty things cops do.
-
I used to think it was just a not paid enough situation but I don't think that's true anymore. It appears to be a systemic cultural thing.
It's a tolerance thing, police now are heavily armored robocops who kill with impunity because Americans allow it to happen. Everyone is focused on the regular cop that killed the dude, no one has said dick crap about Sergeant Charles Langley who was the reason all of this happened with how he behaved at the scene. When the people who are supposed to be the leadership can't be composed in that moment, and suffer no consequences, what do you think will happen? Will it surprise any of you if Langley is involved in the shooting of an unarmed person again?

Well he's retired and in the Philippines now (he was mentioned in one of the articles). Also, it isn't clear from the video that there's SIX officers there and the shooter is not the guy screaming. But you are correct. People wouldn't talk to a disobedient dog the way that guy was screaming in that video. It's definitely a huge part of the problem that makes situations like this more tense than they need to be
-
what about a combination or some of the ideas in this thread?
maybe...take guns away from regular patrol cops. they get to carry some combination of nightsticks, tasers, and those shotguns that shoot beanbags. in return for decreasing their personal safety, give them raises (40-50%). guns can only be carried by SWAT units that undergo rigorous and exhaustive training. maybe also make it automatic death penalty to kill a cop. i feel that criminals would be less likely to shoot at a cop knowing that the cop can't use lethal force in return.
-

I'm all for giving cops the benefit of the doubt because a lot of their decisions are life or death and have to be made at a moment's notice.
But stuff like this. ILLEGALLY WITHHOLDING evidence that proves the guy was innocent. And then still going on the stand and prosecuting the guy all the way to a guilty verdict. That pisses me off more than just about anything in the world. I don't get worked up about many things, but this is one that really really gets under my skin.

Guy gets pinched for weed odor and turns out he is holding a bit. Sheriff's office suddenly has a trafficking case even though they didn't arrest him. Well, it wasn't that he had 2.3 lbs of weed (legal limit for trafficking is 2.2 lbs) but 2.3lbs of weed butter.

Guilty of 2nd degree murder, all 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm, not guilty of official misconduct. Good result, IMO.

Each count of battery has a mandatory minimum of 6 years, he'll die in jail.

No chance of parole?
-
At least 85% must be served. I don't know if there is a chance any of these run concurrently. It's 6-30 for each battery and 4-20 for 2nd.

Walking back to my hotel late last night and noticed a heavy police presence right next door (City Hall). So I drunkenly approached an officer (I'm white), and it turns out they were bracing for the potential fallout from this. Glad things didn't come to that.

People were really worried. A lot of places in the vicinity of the courthouse shut down and sent people home at 12:45 when they announced that a verdict would be announced at 1:45. Suburban commuters were told to stay home by many companies. It was a bit eerie riding the uncrowded train home right after work when it is usually packed.
Of course, all of this is being used by some dumbasses to push a theory that the jury was politically rigged:

i missed the part where 2 of them were on-duty. maybe alcohol was not involved? idk does it seem weird to go to an on-duty officer's house at 1 am, and then have an off-duty officer come over, just to shoot her?
The woman, officer Katlyn Alix, was off-duty when she was shot at about 1 a.m. Thursday, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Chief John Hayden said, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
....two on-duty male officers “went to one of their homes during their shift,” the Post-Dispatch reported. While those two officers were at the home, the off-duty officer stopped by.
While the three officers were at that home, the woman was shot, police said, according to KMOV. The two on-duty officers took her to the hospital.

They need to start looking into all possible connections between the police officers and the deceased. This kinda smells like a hit. Otherwise, why fake a controlled buy to get a warrant to go raid the house of a random dude you don't know?

On the radio this morning there was a story about how police departments all over the country are having big struggles with recruitment. One of the factors, according to the mission hills cop guy, is the public perception of police is at the lowest level in history or something. Hmm, I wonder why.
-
The thing is, I'm not sure if the perception is due to (1) actual incidents being more prevalent or (2) publicity of these incidents is more prevalent.
Maybe both?

Definitely #2. Black people have been saying this about cops for as long as there have been black people and cops

Yeah, I got this as a breaking news alert today. I spend a lot of time in Missouri but never ever west of Jackson County. I have been west of Jackson County once in 5 years and that was in the middle of the night. Anyway I completely missed this article.
http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article153987164.html
And this little tidbit from it:
Black drivers were more likely to be pulled over and more likely to be searched. But they were less likely to be found with contraband in those searches and more likely to be arrested than white drivers across Missouri.
In 2016, black drivers were 75 percent more likely to be stopped than white drivers in Missouri. In 2015, black drivers were 69 percent more likely to be stopped than white drivers.
So even with the Ferguson stuff and increased scrutiny on racial profiling, the state of Missouri has actually gotten WORSE. WTF?
Anyone or anyone's sock care to try to justify this? Missouri is absolutely the worst.
https://www.apnews.com/debfdf8cd570421fb4bf7f385df4a87f
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A report from Missouri’s attorney general shows that black drivers across the state are 91% more likely than white motorists to be pulled over by police and newly collected data shows that African-Americans are even more likely to be stopped in many communities where they live.

I'm starting to come around on this line of thinking. Too many of them have absolutely no business carrying a firearm. Give them some non-lethal options and call it good.

Agreed. She’s clearly a terrible cop, and maybe not an awesome person, but 10 years is plenty enough for punitive effect and she’s not exactly a danger to society going forward.
I don’t know all the facts for the Ft. Worth cop, but the problem in this one seems much more institutional than individual. I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a lighter sentence, but he def needs to no longer be a cop, and that police force needs a SERIOUS overhaul if they can produce a cop who even thinks it’s a good idea to shoot someone in their home during a “check it out” type call.
Also really disturbing the PD apparently released photos of a gun found in the house to try to provide some cya. I hope a civil suit is available.
-
As far as the Guyger case goes I guess I'll need to get some more details, but I don't see how walking into a man's home and just blowing him away because you were "confused" merits just 10 years.
As far as this latest situation goes, it's not acceptable, a strong message has to be sent. I know cops, I know it's a hard job, but that officer gave that poor woman no chance, he did not announce himself or his intent. Anyone that encounters someone unexpectedly on their property at 2:30 in the morning is going to be flustered and surprised at first and need a moment to figure out what's going on.
Two innocent people gunned down in their own home for doing nothing but being in their own home.

No, just no. This was an on duty officer who approached his job differently because of the neighborhood it was in. You can make a very easy case for first degree murder here, if he saw someone in that house he was going to shoot. It was obvious how he and his partner drove to the house and all of their actions leading up to the shooting. It was a welfare check. Policing is obviously screwed up, this dude doesn't get to use that as an out here.
He needs to be sentenced exactly like someone who lives in that neighborhood would if they just walked up to a window and shot someone in the chest after looking right at them. That being said I completely change my mind about Guyer. If Botham Jean shot her in the same manner, he isn't getting 10 years. These storm troopers need to stop being able to use their badge as a shield for lawlessness.
-
The fact he was on duty gets him a ton of get out of jail free cards that Gueyger didn’t have. I get where you’re coming from, and I’d be in favor of laws making it easier to prosecute this type of conduct, but that’s not the system we’re living in.
-
I think 10 years is probably enough for most murders, honestly.
i agree, but as long as we're giving civilians longer sentences, i don't want cops getting relatively shorter sentences.

I'd agree if we actually had a rehabilitation system, but we don't. With recidivism rates what they are we can't be letting murders out of jail in a decade.

What about other serious crimes though? Of course it's tough to kill people, even if you're a sociopath, you still need opportunity to murder someone. Recidivism is much more about how we treat prisoners in jail and when they're released.
-
Same section says recidivism of murderers to commit a violent crime is 2-16% depending on the type of homicide.
-
I am actually kind of torn, as I stated earlier I don't think we need cops but I also want murderers to go to prison for life, the problem is since we don't have cops we don't really need a judicial system either so I guess I can't have it both ways. :curse:
I also want my cousin to get off in 10 years if he kills someone cuz is he really going to learn any more of a lesson than he did in the first 10 years?
-
And I agree our system should be much more focused on rehabilitation, but the vast majority of “recidivism” is parole violations and non-violent drug offenses, so it has just as much to do with policy on the back end.

What I meant by that is police how they are currently constituted in most of the western world. There would need to be some mechanism in place round up perceived law breakers.

Ironically, it is the judges who have crafted and refined concepts such as qualified immunity that effectively insulate most cops from liability for their actions. Congress could act to supercede the courts, however, so there's still hope. But, will they? Unlikely. That's a discrete and sizable voting bloc

First, the Detroiter sued his employer alleging racial discrimination in a lawsuit that settled confidentially. Then he went to the bank this week to cash his settlement check, but the Livonia bank refused to cash or deposit his check. Instead, they called the cops and initiated a fraud investigation — actions that dumbfounded Thomas and his lawyer, triggering another lawsuit.
-
Pretty good press there for Chase Bank, which I am proud to call MY BANK.
-
Not really sure what this has to do with police but yeah this is shitty behavior.
She then walked away to a back area to "call in the checks," but before leaving, she asked Thomas: "How did you get this money?" eff off lady.
However I did laugh at this:
Thomas closed his TCF account that day and left the premises.
Because earlier in the article:
his bank account, which, Wennerberg said, had only 52 cents in it.

That spokesman should be fired for disclosing that man's balance. I hope that quote is in the lawsuit, what a shitty thing to do.

If that description is accurate, that’s not even a BLM thing. That cop is seriously mentally unstable and needs serious treatment during what should be serious detention.

I wonder what the percentage is of regular cops vs. cops who become cops at least partly to eff up (and potentially kill) people. It's probably low, but still significant.

Alright, time to get this fired up again. Cops can't help themselves this is dog bites man at this point. The focus should really be on the spineless districts attorney who allow this to continue, unchecked.

Wtf. At one point towards the end the male cop rears back his hand so as to sucker punch him again, and the female cop places the male cop's hand back on the suspect's back, as if to say, "No more of that..." She clearly understood even in the heat of the moment that he was out of line.

https://twitter.com/wave3news/status/1261080100797403136?s=20
This is the clearest case of intentional victim vilification I have ever seen. Literally the only thing in that article is that she quit and the employer deemed that she wasn't eligible for rehire. There is no way to stretch that to make it the least bit newsworthy. Their motivation here is very transparent and I will be shocked if it doesn't cost someone their job.

I was curious on this and looked through the twitter feed. The cop thought he was smoking a blunt in the park.

Edit: Meant the Breonna Taylor stuff, not the also shitty Brooklyn undercover cop stuff
-
Did she delete the list of facts?
She never listed them. She was trending on Twitter for a bit today and I think her employer WAVE 3 still is. Apparently she's known as the reporter in Louisville who carries the water for the Louisville PD, this isn't the first time she's trashed the alleged victim of police brutality and she's also went after other cops who have reported improprieties. Here's the kicker about her. Back in February a long time producer left the station at night. He saw two people in a car and called the cops. It turns out that the two people in this unmarked car was this "reporter" and a Louisville cop. The cop didn't go though the proper channels to talk to the media and he was reprimanded. She claimed his cop was a source for a story and because the producer burned the source, he was fired.
That seems much more relevant than this woman who quit a job and was ineligible for rehire.

Yeah seems like quite the litmus test for whether we are even capable for holding police to account.
If the cop isn’t convicted of at least manslaughter and the others as accessories then legislators need to rewrite the rules. It’s terrifying to even be concerned they could walk away without criminal charges.
-
I doubt the cop is convicted of anything, and rewriting the rules would be even less likely.

Then get new legislators. I mean yeah it’s a process but my word.

A Louisiana police officer was fired over a Facebook comment that said it was "unfortunate" more black people did not die of the coronavirus.
The chief of police in Kaplan, about 87 miles southwest of Baton Rouge, said Officer Steven Aucoin commented under a local news station's live feed of the governor's coronavirus news conference on May 15. Aucoin was fired later that day.

Spitballing here, but maybe they found a slow acting poison in his system that could only have been administered at least a few hours before the incident and was definitely the cause of death.

LOL, you elected a black president who did nothing but massacre and refugee millions of brown people around the globe. Today millions of brown people die or sit in the midst of civil wars that your guy started or enabled. One minute your rollin with, “well he wasn’t my guy” bullshit. The next you’re all pissed off if anybody says anything mean about the mumped up and deadly policies of a guy who left millions of black people saying it was 8 years of nothing, absolutely nothing.
So spare me your mentally disabled contrived rage as you play every side of the fence as usual.

Looked it up and the cop that got shot by his own boss (8 times with 9 different wounds) amazingly survived. This happened in 2015. The boss guy who did the shooting apparently retired 3 days before they voted 6-1 to fire him. The officer never got charged, but the dude who got shot got received a $6.5m settlement.

You are correct, no debate there, but there is no way you are going to find enough cops to work our streets without weapons. There's a constant threat of ambush. The countries like England, the UK, and Norway where the cops don't carry guns, and France where they are essentially never used, there is virtually no threat of the cops encountering someone else with a gun.

I agree that the U.S. is a fundamentally different challenge in that regard. However, I would support a smaller and more selective police force (with guns) and then glorified meter maids (without guns) to perform most of the routine B.S. cops actually do.

There are many cops in the western world without guns, dummy. You're right though, it's impractical here though because you dipshit republicans and you gun lust and nra ball juggling.
Why so hostile? Please don't try and compare the U.S. to Iceland or Maldives. And you're right, it is impractical and that was why I had the response that I did. And while I agree that there are plenty of "dipshit pub's that love their NRA" there is plenty of dipshit dem's that love them as well.
How about England, dummy?
Even with an armed public, fewer people would die during interactions with the police. People get shot because guns put people on edge.
You are correct, no debate there, but there is no way you are going to find enough cops to work our streets without weapons. There's a constant threat of ambush. The countries like England, the UK, and Norway where the cops don't carry guns, and France where they are essentially never used, there is virtually no threat of the cops encountering someone else with a gun.
I agree that the U.S. is a fundamentally different challenge in that regard. However, I would support a smaller and more selective police force (with guns) and then glorified meter maids (without guns) to perform most of the routine B.S. cops actually do.
I would support this as well. Would obviously be easier in smaller population location although I'm sure there are variables in that too. Not sure how well it would work of populations north of 100,000? :dunno: (ftp://:dunno:)
Seems doable to me regardless of population size. Don't have armed cops pull people over for traffic violations. Don't send cops to take reports. Just chart out every routine task and put them in bucket 1 or bucket 2. Also, the meter maids don't have the authority to arrest you. I would think knowing the meter maid can't arrest or shoot you would prevent things from getting out of hand. You're free to bolt, but you know you'll probably get caught later by an actual cop with a gun.

Have all cops be in tag teams of 1 cop w/gun and stuff and the other cop being basically a social worker. If they know what's up in advance, the unneeded one can chill in the car. If it's unknown, they both go and suss it out real quick and the necessary one takes the lead on things.

I think situations where that would actually be called for are just crazy small.
If you have no reason to think another person’s life is in immediate danger, the unarmed social worker is fine. Bad guys in general don’t kill cops because the consequences are so severe, not because they’re afraid of getting out gunned. You put the same kind of bad apples in a situation with a social worker they’ll just run away. And that’s fine. Slap another charge in their record and have the (few, well trained) enforcers follow up another time.

Apparently it had the K9 by the snout. The default was to shoot first ask questions later, no problem solving at all. Then they just walked off while the dog was just flopping around.

7 rough ridin' shots.....from behind.

And I see MAGA on Facebook bitching about new riots and throwing crap at the police. Getting shot from behind by an officer who fired 7 times when the victim was unarmed should enrage everybody.

For those without details, they shot into a car of an unarmed black couple because they were reversing towards them. Apparently stepping out of the way is much harder than pumping lead into a car and killing people.

That's attempted murder hopefully now that the kbi has the video they will do something. There is a lot about this case. First of all, obviously this guy not being fired and charged, you can't claim that dude was a threat to anything or anyone at that point. Then the kbi asked the county attorney about the case and they had the option to just say, nah, no thanks. Then it takes them 4 months to actually see the video. The entire system is mumped. Even if this dude gets charged nothing will happen to the sheriff or county attorney, and this sheriff department will change in no way at all.

I'm not going to acknowledge that toxic phrase you referenced. If anything what we need is EXTRA funding for law enforcement sensitivity training in Boston.
The officer in Kansas probably needs an off-road driving class and maybe a paid vacation to clear his head, that must have been very traumatic for him.

I am not sure what that phrase means to others
to me it simply means taking existing funding and routing it to practioners other than traditional police agencies to protect and serve communities while facilitating the "Order" component of law and order

Daunte Wright didn't deserve to die, should go without saying. However, this is absolutely not stone cold murder like what Derek Chauvin did, and like Elijah McClain was murdered. This likely a gap in training and procedure and definitely a loss of composure in a heated moment. Wright made a choice to get back in that car, when he made that choice he escalated the situation. I empathize with his family but I can't get worked up about this one.
If we are looking at someone with a warrant for a weapons charge trying to drive off in the same light as someone choked out while handcuffed, I don't know if we'll ever make that progress we need. There needs to be nuance.

That is absolutely not what I said.. I'm making a request for nuance and you two seem to be like, nah. One conversation is about policing, one conversation is about murder.
Also he wasn't pulled over because of air fresheners. He had an expired registration sticker then his warrants came up. They knew he had a warrant on a weapons charge. Despite knowing this they still didn't approached his car with their weapons drawn. They told him he was being arrested he broke free of the officers then got back in his car.
This woman shouldn't be a cop, she shouldn't be charged with murder. Masking Wright and this officer the focus of what happened here is the easy way out and completely misses the larger, more relevant point.

Good grief man, sometimes you read way too much into what people post here. I didn't compare anything to Floyd or call it murder.

Anyway, I don't even disagree with your original post. I thought they learned of the warrant after he was pulled over so if there were expired tags I'll retract that part.
My biggest takeaway from the incident is further proof that regular cops shouldn't have guns.

I wasn't the only person that saw your post as a rebuttal, not sure why you're addressing me and not the point I made. Anyway, that wasn't the objection I had to your post. You inferred that I should be angry, about it and supported that with a false narrative about the incident.

I don't think that this is a good argument for that either. He had a warrant for being charged with carrying an unlicensed hand gun. Do we want cops interacting with guns and they don't have one? What's the solution, to not arrest him but let him go until a cop with a gun can? In the meantime you hope this person doesn't commit a gun crime?
You can find several posts for me on here calling to disarm cops, but that can't happen here without disarming the populace first.
-
Also if you watch the full video, you can stop before the shooting, the officers are telling him that he has warrants when he asks why they are asking him to step out of the car.

Yeah that sounds fine. In this case there were at least three officers there, they could have just slow played it until the backup gun cop arrived.

The department needs to find out why 3 officers couldn't properly detain a dude with those warrants. Not enough training? Poor training?
She should have absolutely been charged with something. Is she guilty of second degree manslaughter, dunno what that burden entails. Cops can't be allowed to make those mistakes without repercussion. Unions won't allow them to hold themselves accountable so the law needs to.

BTW according to the New York Times, George Floyd's girlfriend taught Daunte Wright in high school.

He resisted and tried to take off when they had guns. How does that turn out if they don't have them?
There are about a million possibilities and in all of them you end up with fewer dead people.
Why have laws at all?
talk about a lack of nuance
He didn't forget, come on man. I'd bet any amount of money that Minnesota, like every other state in America has an enforcement date well beyond the expiration date. Do you think Wright was responsible for any of the actions that led to his being shot?
My point is expired registration does not need to be enforced by armed goons if the goal is maintaining revenue. There's a whole collections system that most of the country uses to get money owed to then that is pretty awful on its own but the risk of them killing one of the debtors is low.
If the goal is to needlessly harass drivers, then yeah it makes sense to keep the goons. Not a great interview but kind of highlights what I'm getting at:
https://twitter.com/CityLab/status/1382504848252342275
As for Wright's actions, yeah he shouldn't have tried to run. He shouldn't have had an unregistered weapon, he should have paid for his car registration. But none of those things should be a capitol offense! I also don't blame the individual cop, IMO she shouldn't have been put in that position. but she's expected to and kids will continue to get killed by cops until there are major structural changes.

Hope that the combo of body cams, public awareness (ie people stopping and observing when people of color are being detained), and department leaders calling out and testifying to improper behavior will be the blueprint moving forward to hold police accountable for their actions.
I think that’s the best hope, but that isn’t going to prevent shithead people from becoming police and doing shithead things.

If you were a dickhead cop the already existing cognitive dissonance would prevent you from altering your behavior. The systems are on your side and everything you hear in house will trump whatever you may see on tv which you're likely avoiding anyway.
I'll give you two examples of dickhead cops being allowed to be dickheads and it being actually something that's valued.
The Des Moines PD are currently under fire because the person they assigned as their newly created descalation trainer has been suspended for use of excessive force and was the subject of an $800,000 settlement for caving a dudes face in after he was cuffed. Despite the very obvious calls for him to be removed, they won't do it.
Ames is far and away the most liberal place I have ever lived, including when I lived one town west of Boston. There were people up the street from us who had their young children have a booth on the sidewalk over the weekend raising money for "Derek Chauvin's defense and the blue lives matter fund."

I'm glad you have that positivity, I don't, I literally don't feel the least bit different than what I did yesterday.

I don't think culture problems across a population as large as the collective police forces of our country will change from the one-off murder trial, hand slap, or sensitivity training. The culture needs to be addressed daily across the population from management at all levels. I am not sure how to do it, but it seems that somethings are simple, like daily management to enforce the end of the Thin Blue Line mantra. Lines divide people. Police can't be allowed to feel justified in feeling separated from those they police.
Other things like enforcement of operational body cameras 100% of the time. If the departments managed their employees to treat their cam like they do their gun, in ensuring it is in good operation before going on duty, the bullshit about body cameras not being on during incidents will go away.
I think a big part of the problem is with a union that is too strong and has too much control, influence, and money. Low salaries drawing poor candidates and a strong union making it hard to cull out the bad ones early enough is a huge issue. They also need a crap load more training. Both upfront at their academy, and continuing ed training on the job.
A lot of the issues could most likely be helped with a lot more money that is managed by good managers who have the ability to fire poor officers. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in a world where de-escalation is something a pussy does and where problems are thought to solve themselves once to take tax money away, so nothing is going to change.

That's great CNS, I'm down with all of it except for "more money." However, I don't think you mean to give them more money but want more of the money they have to be utilized better.

Maybe. What I mean is that salaries should be higher, at least in some areas. I look at cops like I do teachers. If pay is low and conditions are bad, you are only really attracting those who either feel a calling by a profession, or don't have good other options. Those who feel a calling don't make up near enough of a quantity to fill the jobs. Raise salaries to attract better candidates, train better and much more often, and fire early. I don't know what the budget structure of a standard precinct is, but unless a whole crap load of money is not going to cop salaries, then I do mean more money.
They need to get rid of military gear too. If you want to soldier, go join the army. Policing isn't LARPing and that crap needs to get screened out.

Blue Lives Matter devotees have long acknowledged the so-called bad apples scattered among U.S. police departments. Chauvin the murderer, in this view, is the exception that proves the rule. His conviction isn’t the very least Floyd’s community should expect after a neighbor was murdered, by a government employee, with their tax dollars. It’s proof that the system as it exists is not broken at all, that those advocating for systemic change are ginning up support for a radical agenda by manufacturing outrage over nothing, and that when something truly bad happens—like the murder of George Floyd—justice is served. Just last week, Pirro said of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, who was killed by a Chicago police officer last month, “He is a criminal. This is a war. This is not the time to feel sorry for anybody.” On Tuesday, just after Pirro reassured Fox News viewers that “the American justice system works,” she suggested that Chauvin’s conviction has made protest superfluous. “For all those people that want to burn down streets, just let the courts do its job,” she said.
Anyone invested in the “few bad apples” theory of why U.S. police kill about 1,000 people each year couldn’t ask for a better man to make an example of than Derek Chauvin. Last summer, as Floyd’s murder prompted weeks of protests and violent police crackdowns on demonstrators, I interviewed several current and former police officers from all over the country about Floyd’s murder. Not only did every single one of them tell me that Chauvin was clearly in the wrong, but they also said they didn’t know any cops who’d defend him. “I do think Chauvin should be charged with murder, and everyone I’ve talked to agrees,” said Maurice Henry, a patrol officer in Kansas.

Not have the Second Amendment, mostly. I think this is one of those "lawful but awful" scenarios that the Chauvin defense was trying to piggyback off of. In my perfect world, like yours, cops wouldn't carry guns. But they have to, because everyone has guns. In this scenario, I guess he could have tried to bum rush and tackle the knife wielder, but if that was not possible, it's kind of tough to say he should let the knife wielder stab the other girl one or more times until the cop could (hopefully) physically restrain the knife wielder. That said, I don't think we need to be training cops to shoot to kill every single time. Sometimes less is more.

I watched a video today where a white teenager stabbed a cop in the neck then ran off. The cop, while bleeding from his neck, tazed and cuffed the kid.
We have no idea if that girl was actually going to stab that other girl, I do know she's dead though. I don't know what the right answer is here, but I do reject the notion that lethal force is all that could have been done. I don't even know why cops carry tazers if shooting to kill at any even sense of danger is acceptable.

The second amendment shouldn't impact how cops deal with knife wielders.
But I don't think cops need guns for most of what they're asked to do, just based on the possibility that someone they interact with might have a gun. (I also think cops are asked to do a lot of things they shouldn't be asked to do.)

Average salary for a Des Moines police officer is $65,000. There are some regular ass beat cops making around $100,000. The chief is around $200,000.
The average salary for an Iowan with a bachelor's degree is $48,000. How much more do the cops need to make? Safe to say the investments in the police nationwide, is leading to diminishing returns.

I beg to differ, cops are taught to shoot a suspect in the knee or shoulder. The knee to stop a charge or flee, shoulder of suspect side with weapon. Personally told by cops at our safety meetings.

Are warning shots frowned upon? One would think firing a couple shots in the air would get some attention and the girl would be on the ground with the knife dropped immediately. But I guess what goes up (i.e. bullets) must come down.
What about trying to shoot a calf instead?
Seems like there were other options. The cop could have easily missed and hit a couple of the bystandards in the background.

Maybe if he'd done something non lethal both girls would be alive, maybe not. But people on this board/social media speaking confidently about what police officers should do in life threatening situations that they themselves have never experienced is extremely silly.

I don't blame the cop, I blame the entire system - how they are trained and what they're asked to do. There's a good chance I'd do the exact same thing he did in the situation.

I’ve always heard police are trained to use deadly force if the gun is drawn and that’s fine

What exactly do you think those things are for? Just whenever the cop doesn’t feel threatened but wants to shoot something?
Not when someone has a knife at someone’s neck. Quit being a clown.

By far the best alternative would’ve been tackling her. Not using a taser.

So there seems to be some fuckery going on in north Carolina. Guy was shot in his car last week while being served a warrant. City declares a state of emergency this morning expecting civil unrest and will be showing the family the body cam around noon. Family and lawyers show up at the time given but cops aren't ready and make them wait for a few hours. Family finally sees the video after the cops tried to keep the lawyer out of the room. Family and lawyers have a press conference and say they were allowed to watch 20 seconds of EDITED footage from 1 of 10 cops on scene and it began after shooting had already started. Sheriff tells the lawyer that he "won't be rough ridin' intimidated" into releasing more. 7 of the cops are on leave, 1 decided to retire.
Absolute clusterfuck

Well that sounds all kinds of mumped up

sounds like the video probably would totally exonerate the cops.

Dipping into the TexAgs Chauvin Verdict Watch game thread from last Tuesday. Hoo boy.
I think Chauvin is innocent of all charges.
I've watched people die and it's never easy. I understand that if all the public has seen is the 9 minute video, they would think Chauvin had to have been the cause and the way the media has played the race card on police shootings despite no evidence of any systemic bias, the public wants blood.
But if I'm the jury foreman, I'm not giving it to them. I've been jury foreman twice and if I were foreman on that jury I would tell everyone there is no way we're going to give any verdict and we're not even going to hold a preliminary vote because I don't want word to leak and any of the jurors to have the mob unleashed on them. I wait 24 hours and then send a note to the judge demanding 10 years of 24/7 police protection for all the jurors as a condition of rendering a verdict.
The judge can't offer that and will declare a mistrial and hopefully nobody on the jury gets killed.

-
I would hope that guy gets weeded out a jury selection
-
Yeah, they were extremely worried about the jury being murdered.
Now they have spent a week posting millions of "was this person on the Chauvin jury?" threads where they post a picture of a minority or "liberal" woman.

Is cop cam footage not 100% public record? Has this not already been hashed out in court?

so a local bay area town killed a guy for being drunk and hurting absolutely no one. Lesson: Never call the cops
https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1387386243512680449?s=20
(the start of this is the calls and then the cops show up and kill him):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBJnToNolHw
-
The cops should be fired and charged with serious crimes.
Also in life threatening situations or if say there's a roll over of a car with people trapped inside, do not call the cops, try to extricate them yourselves and if you can't, simply walk away.
In a life threatening situation, try to negotiate for your life, do not call law enforcement. Defend yourself with a gun if need be, that always works out well. Do not call the cops per cRusty, no matter what.

With just as much, particularly poor white people.
If all that dude did was Jaywalk, then those cops are operating about $100k worth of vehicles dangerously just to catch a jaywalker.
Kind of like the Highway Patrol barreling down the Interstate at 120 to catch up to someone who was going 10 over.

Police said at 1:04 p.m. the bicyclist was seen running through a red light at University and Nagle Street.
“Bicyclists on the roadway are required to follow the same rules and responsibilities as motorists.,” said CSPD spokesman Officer Tristen Lopez. “The bicyclist initially stopped when one of our officers initiated a traffic stop, but then continued riding. The officer followed the bicyclist until other officers arrived and they were able to take the bicyclist into custody.”
“A large percentage of crashes can be avoided if motorists and cyclists follow the rules of the road and watch out for each other,” said Officer Lopez.
Per department policy, an ambulance is dispatched anytime someone is tased by an officer, and in this case, the man complained of injuries and was transported by medics to a hospital, police confirmed.

I don't get why you're having a hard time with it. That statute doesn't forbid open carrying. It forbids, what basically amounts to, brandishing a deadly weapon.
And not every "weapon" is readily capable of lethal force.

It's just sloppy grammar.

Yeah I think “exhibiting in a threatening manner” is basically brandishing. I’d interpret them the same and neither seems particularly vague IMO.

I saw another video from the officer's body cam and it was pretty clear nothing was being planted. They were arresting another passenger (maybe driver) and found the bag on him. Another officer gave it to this one who put it back in the car because he "didn't want to hold on to it"
The gross part is the police found "specs of green" in an empty baggie and used that as a basis for a vehicle search. Dunno why they were stopped or the guy arrested.

yes, cop's attorney, we are only getting half the story. one half is that a cop murdered a guy on a rascal by shooting him in the back. the other half is that guy stole a toolbox.

I feel bad but I chuckled when I read that the guy flashed the knife and said "here's my receipt". Tip of the cap old fella, enjoy your toolbox.

Nah, I agree with wacky, it's a bad look. That's not what policing should be. All of the bullshit has desensitized you. There literally isn't a single funny thing about locking people up and most outstanding warrants are on complete bullshit, it's why the police can't even be bothered to go and look for these people themselves and are encouraging people to turn them in. Make funny videos about serving the public interest and not putting people in jail for not paying traffic tickets.

While I certainly get some of the points, I don't know if I can agree with that entirely. I believe that in other areas/jurisdictions the police would have acted immediately to mitigate the threat. For example, but all accounts, the situation at Olathe East awhile back, the Olathe police arrived on the scene and were rushing to get inside the building without hesitation. Maybe that's incorrect, maybe a different scenario. But I just don't see police in many areas just sitting outside not doing crap while gunshots continue to ring out.

I actually understand there could be several credible reasons for not trying to get that man. What I don't get is not only doing absolutely nothing, but also crap talking him and his lady while the dude is drowning. They don't have a rough ridin' rope in their car or radios to call rescue?

probably not the right place to put it, but whatever, this is interesting to think about.
a semi-related thing is how we try to prioritize pain-avoidance in how we treat animals rather than maximizing their time being alive. in some cases, this is just a function of the animal's purpose - we can't eat an animal and keep it alive, but we can try to kill it relatively painlessly. but we also do this for animals, like pets, where the animal's death isn't obligatory.

A criminal justice class definitely changed the way I viewed prisons. The thing is most people don’t even give it a second thought, but if you polled 100 people asking them what the function of prison is (punishment vs. deterrent vs. public safety etc.) you’d get a wide range of answers.
The point being that if we don’t even agree on why we should put people in prison, we’ll probably never change the system to make it better serve any goal. It’ll kind of just keep being a crappy solution to a lot of different problems.

I don't really have a link but for those on Twitter, there is a lot about the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department raiding members of the civilian oversight board, who are charged with investigating corruption within the LASD.
They took one woman's car, even though the warrant didn't call for that. They took a server from a non profit organization. The sheriff, long known as a corrupt sack of crap, bragged about doing this on social media. If you're interested in this just search LASD on Twitter, there's a lot and there will definitely be a book and movie about this.
Here are two tweets I found interesting

Not a rogue agency, tho . . .
The ruling did not address some of the most controversial aspects of the raid, such as the FBI’s attempt to confiscate assets from box holders on the presumption they were criminals, even in cases where agents had no evidence to validate their suspicions.
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-30/judge-backs-fbi-beverly-hills-safe-deposit-box-raid
Federal agents took photos and made video recordings of password lists, bank statements, pay stubs, immigration records and many other private papers of box holders who are not criminals.

Cop on texags defends the SA cop above
InfantryAg1:30a, 10/7/22
In reply to Quincey P. Morris
Quincey P. Morris said:
I've watched the video. Numerous times. Within a two second time frame the cop tells him to get out of the car, the kid asks why, the cop grabs at him, and the car starts to move. There's no blame for this situation anywhere but the cop. The cop made a dumb decision in how he initiated contact and then gave zero time to even comply. Listen to the cops is fine, but this situation that doesn't fly.
You asked where the kid disobeyed the cop and that he started running when the cop shot him. These are factually incorrect.
Then you moved the goalposts by changing your statement to what you posted in my quote above.
You watched the video drunk? because there is time in the video, and there is a pause button.
The sequence of events (time is from the video posted in the OP):
8 sec: kid looks back surprised at the door opening
9-10 sec: kids has observed and oriented (mentally processed) that there is a uniformed police officer there and decided he is going to not comply, but instead escape.
10 sec: kid places hand on shifter, pushes button and moves shifter into reverse, moves hand towards steering wheel
11 sec: kid says "what or why" and accelerates the car backwards as the cop is moving into the doorway
12 sec: cop grabs at kid, while having to move to his right to avoid being knocked down by the door
12-13 sec: cop draws gun, while moving back out of the doorway
13 sec: cop aims gun (he is out of the doorway and no longer in imminent danger)
14 sec: cop starts firing gun
The cop was dumb, but if the kid had complied the lawful order, he wouldn't have gotten shot, so he does bear some blame. The kid, based on his actions of proactively placing the car in reverse and accelerating back. He may have not intended to hit the officer, but he intended on escaping.

What is it about smart phones that has the cops so on edge? Is there like an app available for download that automatically kills cops and I’m just not aware of it?

From the replies. That cop was fired, joined another police force, then roughed up a 12 year old boy with a nerf gun.

The Dems could pick up a lot of votes if they would just get rid of their closed borders policies. Most of the country sees them as pro-immigration, anyway.

i 100% agree but with how ridiculously broad qualified immunity is (or perhaps more accurately how ridiculously narrow the exceptions for qualified immunity are) i'm wondering if there's a chance this guy is going to even get a slap on the wrist.

The police are nothing more than the states’ armed wing of enforcement. An occupying force with a monopoly on violence, trained to kill at the slightest hint of danger, while enforcing even the most arbitrary of laws.

Can just change a few laws allowing deadly force to be used for any reason as long as the cop was scared, squash a few incentives, and make a big difference to start.

I think you could do something about it without removing guns from society but you'd have to completely rethink the function of your typical cops. I would bet fewer cops got shot if they didn't have guns, not more.

The killing the journalist & racism are rightly taking the lead, but the burn woman’s details are being left out. Her landlord bulldozed her porch then said if she wasn’t out in a month he’d torch it with her in it or not. She complained to the Sheriff. They knew of the threats. They knew she was killed in an arson fire & didn’t give a crap.

Going against Federal law over the course of the history of these United States used to lean heavily towards the predecessor of your current movement.

When we don't like something that (for example) occurs in generational #blueanon strongholds we grant ourselves the right to lay siege to hundreds of city blocks around the country, attack Federal buildings, attack the White House (even though the primary occupant had nothing to do with the failures of #blueanon leadership in generational #blueanon strongholds) etc. etc. etc.
But if people who hold different thoughts on the interpretation of the constitution from us. Then they're clearly part of a violent insurrectionist movement. :thumbsup:

That’s a nice fairly written article, and much more helpful than the sensational tweet/headline.

well,
With regard to the claim that Galanakis filed two false complaints against Winters, Judge Locher ruled there was only one communication from Galanakis that could be construed as a complaint, and “because Winters does not allege these statements are untrue they cannot be defamatory.” The judge noted that “Winters does not appear to allege that any of them are false. To the contrary, he admits the accuracy of some of them in his pleadings, and others are supported by the police videos posted online.”
As for the city’s complaint that Galanakis claimed to have been “kidnapped then raped,” Judge Locher found that statement was a clear and allowable expression of opinion and rhetorical hyperbole.
With regard Galanakis’ claim that Winters had been convicted of domestic abuse, the judge noted that specific allegation appeared to based on a 2021 protective order that was entered against Winters in Iowa District Court, and which was extended on at least three subsequent occasions.
