Ridiculous Police News (Specific events)

[Tyrath]

All possible. But thats why I initially said the only thing I have an issue with is the first cop firing that shot. It looked like he was reaching into his pocket so I can't blame the cops when he got shot up.

Here's how cops deal with white people who are actually reaching for an actual weapon:

Yes because 1 officer handling a situation equals to how 700,000 officers handle a situation.

Anyways, that officer fucked up.

I'd have that guy at gun point since he is getting ready to unholster his firearm.

I've been trying to figure out why this is not a bigger story. Is it cause he is rich or foreign?

I've been trying to figure out how you didn't read anout the original story a year ago

this story is ultimately about his success in court, and refusing any deal in his determination to refuse any admission of guilt whatsoever. He's retelling events in the same way he did originally

edit: okay back in April

I read the original story a year ago, but it was basically a footnote so it's not that surprising Dimmauk missed it.

I basically see two options for why it wasn't bigger than it was:
1) It's not in the news because his expensive lawyers told him to keep everything under wraps until the criminal trial was over.
2) It's not in the news because he isn't quite as innocent as he says he is. The fact that they didn't find him guilty doesn't mean he was innocent. When any rich person stacks all the lawyers money can buy against a police department over relatively minor charges, the police department is probably not going to match the investment and will lose the case

So do you break the legs of every NBA player you come across or just the black ones?

Fox Lake officer (the one who was said to be killed by "two white guys and one black guy") was a carelly staged suicide all along:

Dude had been stealing and laundering money from a police program for years.

Surprised this wasn't posted yet. Couple days ago a 6 year old boy was shot and killed when 2 Marshalls opened fire and unloaded on a car. 2 officers have been arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder and attempted second degree murder while the dad(driver) is hospitalized with bullet fragments in his brain/lungs.

Possible another 2 officers may be charged as well. The Colonel says the body cam footage is "the most disturbing thing I've ever seen, and I'll leave it at that", footage hasn't been released

[archibaldcrane]

Whoa, I thought that was going to be an open and shut "they were coming right for us!" clean shoot.

Score one for body cams!

[BerenTebogo]

Also surprisingly score one for Louisiana cops?
