tldr; cops shoot unarmed man with dementia because he was approaching them and wouldn't remove his hands from his pockets. no less-lethal methods of subduing the suspect were attempted. cops were called because a neighbor saw him and "thought she saw a gun in his pocket" which turned out to be... a crucifix.


yep.

The neighbor should be arrested for murdering their neighbor by death by cop.

This story just keeps getting wilder

Muslim parents force daughter, 18, to shave her head for 'going out drinking and having Christian boyfriend' - and lying to cops about Trump supporters' racial attack to cover her tracks

100% Agree. He should face charges, according to the story he said the man brandished a revolver. Specified the weapon and that he actually showed it, but turns out that was complete bullshit? There has to be some law against blatantly lying to a 911 operator... doubly so for it leading to a death...

The officer who shot Philando Castile has been charged with 2nd degree manslaughter and a couple other charges.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/16/us/off...ing/index.html

The investigation allegedly shows that Castile was not reaching for his gun, had a valid permit to carry it, and was reaching for his drivers license therefore deadly force was not justified.

Jeronimo Yanez, the offending officer, and his legal team have offered their reasoning for the shooting and why the 2nd degree charge should be dropped. Essentially they're saying that Philando was too high on weed to follow orders and because he was high, his gun permit was invalidated, which means he actually had an illegal firearm and Yanez was justified in his shooting. It's that convoluted right now.

I mean you expect this kind of thing from the defense team, that's their job, but still... god damn. that's just all sorts of awful.

[Andalusian girls]

they always said weed was a gateway drug to getting murdered by the police

[kuronosan]

So if a black officer smokes it does that mean it's suicide by cop?

That is such a weird way to intro that story.

Girl goes out drinking underage (18), pretends to be a victim of an imaginary hate crime including filing false police reports etc to try to cover it up, is being indicted and facing up to several years in jail, and the thing they're highlighting is the fact that her parents made her shave her head as punishment? Oh and religion.

I'll be damned if teenage me wouldn't have gotten my ass beat by my parents if I filed police reports over a fake hate crime.

Well this story has been covered in 3 steps, the first was reporting on the hate crime, then they had to report it was fake, now the story is her parents made her shave her head... Yeah same ass beating here.

[archibaldcrane]

Although if my parents were the type to consider head shaving as punishment for dating outside my religion, I'd probably go to great fucking lengths to rebel and cover my tracks too.

The Christian boyfriend was literally not mentioned at all in the BBC report on the story. Is it terribly difficult to fathom that the head shaving was a punishment for underage drinking, lying, and possibly getting sent to prison?

Edit: Apparently the daily mail only references a New York Daily News article with regards to the boyfriend, which itself only claims that the girl made up all that nonsense in the first place because she didn't like that her parents disapproved of her boyfriend in general (the Christian bit was added by daily mail). Punishment totally unrelated.

20-year veteran police officer and School Resource Officer uses school's robotics lab to test the firing point on his gun's trigger. Gun discharges, goes through the wall, ricochets off teacher's neck in the middle of class. Throws bullet into the woods and hides gun before calling it "an accident".

[Ghost_Wheel22]

Oh goddamnit this breaks Rule #1 what the fuck. A ND is just that: negligent. The post-sperg ass scooting on the carpet trying to hide the shit only makes it worse.

At least that DEA cop that shot himself in the leg in a classroom on camera got his karma real quick.

Man says a kid littered. He tells kid to pick it up, and the kid says no. Man starts choking 7 year old kid. Mom calls police. The police officer after hearing the story asks why her son was littering, the mom says that there is no proof of that, but there is proof of the man choking her 7 year old son. The cop basically says he has no problem with the son getting choked. For course the mom didn't like that, and shit hits the fan.

[Day]

That video has a pretty uh... timely.. jump cut when shit hits the fan, I wonder if he has body cam. Probably was "malfunctioning"

[Ghost_Wheel22]

Results of noncompliance after being told to pick up that can.
