Awful. How do cops not get punished for this stuff?

They should prosecute whoever called 911 and lied about what they saw.

In addition to the cop(s), obviously.

Jesus eff.   

When I've been pulled over I put the keys on the dash and kept both hands on the wheel, and when prompted to give ID/insurance I've asked if it's okay to get in my glove box.  Cops seem annoyed when I do this but it seems that's the only way to not get shot (if you're black).

I just pop open the glove box and grab my registration as fast as I can. I'm white, so I don't have to worry about getting murdered on the side of the road, and I have places to go.

I like to drop the "do you know who I am"

[Rage Against the McKee]

I got pulled over once for having the tag light out. I made sure to roll my eyes at the officer and let him know that he was wasting both my time and his while was grabbing the registration out of the glove box.

If black, I would have been dead like ten times over for crap I did in HS.  rough ridin' appalling. 

[Mr Bread]

He shot him even after his hands were up and he was backing away.

The last time I was pulled over the cop didn't even ask for proof of insurance. I don't think it's cause I'm white though. He was more in a hurry to write as many tickets as possible. The whole stop took about 90 seconds. "improper right turn" by the way. That was a nice way to fork over 250.

Oh my God. Honey, did you see this? Apparently, the police have been beating up Negros like hotcakes. It's in the main issue!

I think Ferguson definitely increased awareness.

but like the king beating was a big deal and it was barbaric and wrong in 8 million ways but even they didn't say hey you think what we should probably do is just shoot this guy dead. i mean it seems different/worse. dunno.

Well it's really hard to tell if it's any worse because police departments have never been required to report how many people their officers kill. Which is kind of mind-blowing.

JMHO but I think cops are more aggressive and trigger happy in a post 9/11 world. Department of Homeland Security, and the Patriot Act beefed up everyone

The King beating was just a big deal because it validated all the criticism against the LAPD.  Kind of a "SEE!  WE TOLD YOU THIS crap WAS GOING ON! NOW THROW THE BOOK AT THEM!" moment.  Killings (or "murders," what have you) like the one against Brown are a bit different because we can't see them.  It's almost as if the country has the same intense suspicion and distrust of police as people did in LA just prior to King. 

Imagine if there was video footage of the Mike Brown killing and it was as bad as it sounds.  I'd the riots would be on a much larger scale than just Ferguson.
