Death by cop

[cecilia]

Now we get the revenge murders.
What a clusterfuck.

I stayed up for most of the night watching what was going on in Dallas and Everyone walking about - citizens and cops - were completely peaceful and in agreement

Only ONE guy had a problem. and that was the guy with a gun(s)

I'm not going to forget ALL those peaceful people just because ONE douchebag went there to make trouble.

Not quite death but needlessly shot.

Not quite death but needlessly shot.

OK, this is like a cop test.

So you have a non-compliant person ignoring the officer and you have a compliant man obeying the officer and trying to talk the other guy into complying. Which one do you shoot?

The black one, of course.

Apparently this thread is nowhere near as long as it should be as between 706 and 844 people have already been killed by US cops in 2016.

Thing is, seeing some of those shootings caught with a camera, the first thing that comes to mind is terrorism, but I don't hear that word anywhere?

Another woman on the video said she was the man’s sister. She appeared distraught, repeatedly shrieking and crying, telling officers that she had called them to help her brother, whom she described as having mental problems.

“I just called for help, and you came and killed him,” she said.

Jury deadlocked in trial of cop filmed killing fleeing suspect

Officer recorded shooting unarmed man in back pleads guilty

A video of Officer Michael Slager shooting and killing 50-year-old Walter Scott was secretly taken in 2015 by a passerby. The video has been viewed millions of times online and on television. It was a key factor in the North Charleston Police Department's decision to abandon its initial backing of the shooting.

The deal with federal and state prosecutors includes Slager's guilty plea to one count of a three-count federal civil rights indictment. (PDF) In exchange, federal prosecutors will drop two lesser charges. South Carolina prosecutors, under the deal, will not retry the 35-year-old Slager. In December, after four days of deliberations, a 12-member Charleston County jury announced it was hopelessly deadlocked, and a mistrial in the state's murder case was declared.

Sources tell WCCO-TV that Damond called 911 over a possible assault, and when Noor and another officer arrived at the scene in a squad car, she spoke to them near an alley. At some point the officer who was in the squad’s passenger seat, reached over and shot Damond.

There's a guy who shouldn't be a cop. He was looking for a reason to shoot that guy.

What do you want him to do? Just stand there and let someone shoot him? I am looking at it in a broader perspective. Why was he there? It seems a bit excessive.
