Ridiculous Police News (Specific events)

Yah, that cop needs to be in prison for the rest of his life.

He had no business being in law enforcement if thats his definition of proper force. He wasn't even walking toward them.

How the fuck are you going to even unload 1 bullet on someone walking away from you with a knife, let alone 16?

Specifically young black men who had clean records were targeted.

Ugh, this was directly the plot of South Park's season 8 episode 3's, The Jefferson's. You know the system if fucked when an extreme parody mirrors reality

[Boyiee]

Brother in law retired from Dothan PD for a better job opportunity at least 10 years ago... Might need to give that dude a call.

Henrycountyreport is not the local newspaper that its name implies. It's essentially the media arm of an advocacy group.

The Henry County Report is part of the Alabama Justice Project, a non profit section 501 C3 Corporation that focuses on documentary work, analysis, and opinion on why the Center for Government Ethics @Harvard Univ. ranks Alabama as the most judicially and legislatively corrupt in the nation. We seek to share the stories of the people who live here and victims of that embedded political and judicial corruption.

I would not be surprised if this turned out to be true (sadly), but it should probably be corroborated before we full-out believe it.

Guy wielding a knife and not going after any officers executed by them yesterday in San Francisco.



OP if you don't want to deal with the random imagery in the above video - https://www.instagram.com/p/-z3eBvPopx/

San Francisco police shot and killed a man carrying a knife in the Bayview district who reportedly matched the description of the suspect in a nearby stabbing, police Chief Greg Suhr said.

Witness video posted online to Instagram appears to show the moments before the fatal shooting when several police officers surrounded the distressed man on a Third Street sidewalk near Gilman Avenue around 4:35 p.m.

The camera’s view is obscured when police open fire, and the barrage of gunshots can only be heard.

The officers were just wrapping up their search for the suspect when other officers found him on the 2900 block of Keith, between Gilman and LeConte avenues, Suhr said. The man was reportedly armed with the kitchen knife police believe was used in the stabbing.

The officers convened and told the man to drop his weapon, Suhr said. Witnesses on a nearby bus reportedly confirmed the exchange to police.

Police fired and struck the man several times with beanbags while moving away from him, also shooting the ground in front of him with another less-lethal weapon, Suhr said. But when an officer tried to cut off the man’s path, and the man moved toward him carrying the knife, five officers opened fire, killing him.

Whats ridiculous about this? Dude was within a few feet of an officer, and heading towards him with a knife.

[Salodin]

How can you say a guy wielding a knife and not going after any officers is executed when the article specifically states the officers were after this man for stabbing some one and used less lethal options, and only used live ammo after he started to move towards an officer after he moved to cut him off.

[notorious bum]

Yeah, the video has definite shock value, but this situation was never going to end well.

George Hernandez, the Chicago cop who shot the suspect in the back then a few more times while on the ground, will not be charged in the shooting. The main reason was because Hernandez could have felt threatened citing a early case where a suspect shot at a officer while fleeing them. The prosecutor also cited a breakdown in the investigation where the FBI refused to get involved and the Independent Police Review Authority dragged their feet in getting witness interviews.

Inc riots

Edit: but seriously, this is probably the most clear case of police outright fucking murdering someone that I can think of in the past few years. This is not going to end well.

Are you thinking of the same case?

This is the George Hernandez case (shooting Ronald Johnson)



Johnson was armed with a 9mm handgun and had already resisted arrest before attempting to flee.

Johnson's family's lawyer claims the handgun was planted.

[archibaldcrane]

More interesting is that the federal Justice Dept is opening an investigation of the Chicago PD.

Damn, you know you fucked up when even archi is saying the cop isn't exactly in the wrong.

Oh I guess wrong case. I thought this was the one where the guy was shot 10+ times after he was already face down on the ground.

My bad.

My bad.

You are thinking of the McDonald case. 19 year old kid shot in the back while walking away then shot a bunch more times after he was down. The cop in that case was charged with 1st degree murder already.

The Chicago Tribune article I read said that the officer shot him twice then an additional 5 more times (for this this case)
