Yep, nothing much here to warrant a payday. Just another career criminal receiving his due justice. No questionable actions by the police in any way right?
Yeah, the officer is sorry. He didn't mean to shoot the therapist laying on the ground with his hands in the air. He was trying to shoot the autistic guy with the toy truck in his hand, but missed.
I don't get the need to twist logic to such extremes in an attempt to validate the actions of the officers. It is what it is. Regardless of what the officers "believed" was happening, they were wrong.
But the common thread in all these cop hater threads is that the suspect is either fighting the cops, resisting arrest, or as in this case, not following instructions...never a case where the suspect was doing everything right and the cop just blew him away. Police have procedures in place to keep everyone safe and in order for them to work, people have to follow instructions. Whenever this doesn't happen, it escalates the risk to everyone involved. I'll just keep yawning until the cop haters come up with a genuine case of police abuse.
First of all, understanding the need to hold police accountable for their actions is not cop hating. They operate within the public trust. A violation of that trust must be dealt with lest that trust be damaged.
Which case are you referring to? The king case or the Miami case?
The motivation for threads like these that spring up like wild grass is hatred for authority and by extension those who enforce the law. Not for a second do I entertain the notion that those pumping out these threads have any other agenda than to advertise their cop hate and solicit that hate in others.
Well, that's just cynical and dumb.
You honestly think it's not possible to support the police and be critical of some of their actions at the same time?
