not just missouri, best to avoid all cops

[michigancat]

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. They better be charged with murder today, it's ridiculous that if this news station didn't release the entire video it seems like they wouldn't have been charged.

After watching compilations of cops murdering people, I've learned they pretty much always ignore first aid when they murder people.

their word against yours is their worst case scenario.

yep

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. 

edit: I knew the statement would angle towards the left arm, per the CNN article. I wonder what the other video shows.

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.

Is that the one that was in Hardee's (on something like that) parking lot on a first date? It has been discussed here, I believe.

yes it was discussed.

It's an interesting case in that white people bring it up as a "lack of outrage" story rather than a "cop murdering people" story.

i think you are talking about the guy who scuffled and then ran away and got wasted? i think edn proved it was a clean kill but the cop was fired and charged with murder (only after the video came out)

i havent looked up to see where thats at recently

[puniraptor]

oh , different case maybe!

On Monday, the sheriff's office tweeted a statement that said "broadcasting a man's death for $100 sparked threats to our deputies' lives. Let KSAT know what you think."

eff the police

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.

Officers killed in the line of duty by gunfire

2015- 23
2014- 47
2013- 31
2012- 48
2011- 68
2010- 59

So when people try to tell you that Black Lives Matter is a war on cops let's all vow to tell everyone how shitty Black Lives Matter people are in getting cops killed.

Also it was revealed today that the guy who shot the cop in Houston was ruled mentally unfit to stand trial for a crime in 2012 but he apparently never made it to treatment. Another nut with a gun.

Seems like guns are the real common issue.  Weird. 

I mean, crazy, racist, militant, cop hard on, etc have all participated in the killings of citizens lately.  Seems like common sense to tackle the one commonality.

Yeah I have zero doubt that cops would murder fewer citizens if they weren't allowed to have guns.

Claiming the dude had a knife in his hand now.

The hand he had over his head as he surrendered?  Or did he have a duct tape holster on his back with a knife in it?
