Ridiculous Police News (Specific events)

[kuronosan]

I can attest to that as well. I've had plenty of black friends get the short end of the stick because blackness. Shit's ridiculous. What bothers me is the faux fucking outrage from some people.

Yea this is depressing and all, but what the fuck are you going to do about it? Quit reporting that shit and hold people accountable so that it stops.

i think what will maybe get the cop in trouble this time is he couldn't even answer her back on tape why he shot him. not to mention discharging the firearm with people in the car as well. still dont think anything will happen.

Not to be upstaged, we've got another one in Minnesota.

This happened just over a mile from where a I live and on the route I take to get home. A coworker who lives nearby to there heard the cops fire.

For MN peeps trying to figure an exact location, it's the larpenteur / silo entrance to the State Fair grounds.

Oh.. that cop knows he fucked up.

that gave me the chills. I know exactly where that is. used to live in that area :/

I got about a minute into that video before I had to stop. if this cop isn't charged and convicted of murder I'll be out there marching with them this time.

[kuronosan]

You can tell from the video the cop knows he fucked up.

[Fiye]

No worries though. He'll probably be given a day so he can collect his thoughts.

The girlfriend was also arrested. Any idea if she's still being held?

[6souls]

there is one immersion breaking moment in the video for me when the lady calls out to one of her friends because the friend's name is Alize.

[shepardG]

Shock is a weird ass thing, i assume they maybe hadn't been dating that long? or it was probably just the shock....

[kuronosan]

Do you think it matters how long they were dating for? Someone was just shot in front of her face.

[archibaldcrane]

We've got another one folks - crap video, and for a new twist - white kid!

[kuronosan]

When the hell is this shit going to stop?

[archibaldcrane]

Can't stop won't stop. Let's just taste the rainbow - Mexican 19 year old shot by undercover cop outside of Los Angeles, under the "he's coming right for us" statute (he was driving towards the undercover officers).

Okay, now I don't know if you're trolling or not. There's a big difference between someone being lawful and getting shot the fuck up in front of his daughter and people who were probably guilty (although the white kid less so).

[archibaldcrane]

The police are taking heat for firing at a moving vehicle, and it's completely unclear if the kid had any idea the plainclothed officers in an undercover car were even cops. Being guilty of a crime doesn't mean you should be executed by police. Alton Sterling was guilty of selling bootleg DVDs and resisting arrest, and Philandro Castile was guilty of driving with a busted taillight. They're all "guilty" - it doesn't mean they should be dead.

I'm missing Asian 19 y/o for police brutality bingo.

In either case there seems to be an increasing propensity for cops to execute people and even if they are probably guilty were their crimes enough to warrant a death penalty? That isn't for the cops to decide.

Let's not discount the possibility of a native american wildcard.

Small correction, he was the passenger.

No, that isn't. That's why I'm confused because I don't get the parallels or if Archie is being sarcastic.
