Serge 8,739 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 No doubt on this oneThat's what I thought with Tamir Rice, but that case was certainly made to seem a lot cloudier after the fact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrews_31 5,188 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 That was beyond f'ed up, but they arrested that that dirty azz cop with a quickness and charged his dumb azz with murder! They should place this dummy in Gen Pop and tell everyone what he did! Goal Line D and capologist 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AF89 45,907 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Glad to see this police department isn't circling the wagons on this one, he's been quickly charged. But then again this video is pretty clear they may not have had a choice. slamee101 and JDaveG 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xskyx 3,244 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 You see,the guy obviously used some sort of mind control to force that poor officer into bringing him that taser. ^^ next excuse on deck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Free Radical 3,459 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 The problem is systematic. The only reason they are throwing this guy to the wolves without a fight is this video, but I promise you it would be a different story otherwise.

JDaveG 41,630 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It's really getting to the point that we need to have a camera on every officer. I'm not a fan of "Big Brother" tactics, but at the end of the day, this is a check on Big Brother, not a check by Big Brother.What frightens me is that the whole cellphone camera thing is relatively new, but this type of behavior obviously is not. As Radical said, it's systemic. The "us versus them" mentality in police departments around the country is frightening. I can't imagine what it would be like raising young black men in this society.

Ransack 3,243 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It ain't just black folks getting shot by the police. A white lady that I know was shot 6 times in her own home during a no knock raid. She had turned in an officer of that department for negligence while on duty (ie having sex in his patrol car while on duty). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason they are throwing this guy to the wolves without a fight is this video, but I promise you it would be a different story otherwise.A large part of the problem is that the DAs are the ones who have to prosecute the cops and if they do that the cops, who they need to do their jobs, will turn on them in a big way. IIRC, the AG of New York tried to take on a special prosecutor role in the Garner case to get around that problem but then the DAs throughout the state turned on him because it implied they were being unethical. The system is broken in such a blatant way here and it needs to be reformed ASAP but I can't think of a way to fix it without these groups getting their panties in a wad and shutting everything down in a tantrum.

Wokezone 1,077 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) The guy didn't deserve to be shot, but he is an idiot for running. Stop messing the police. If you run, fight, punch, kick or resist you are asking to be shot right now. Edited April 8, 2015 by T-Falcon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They let a naked ninja beat them up and run, but this guy gets executed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
capologist 13,653 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 How do you fear for your life when the guy is running away from you?Definitely excessive and the cop deserves whatever comes his way for it. Makaveli96, JDaveG and Andrews_31 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
