Why not? The sixth amendment guarantees the right to defense..
And that's exactly what we give them.
Except they did break laws. Last time I checked, shooting a child is against the law. I know i'd go to jail if I did it. so should cops.
Not if the "child" is 5'9" tall weighing 190 lbs and is pulling a gun out on an officer.
Or you don't trust the cops to cause more harm than good. You think the person who called Cleveland and said, "Hey, he's playing with a toy gun in the park" didn't feel real awful when they sent the mentally ill guy out who shot him at point blank range?
First of all, the cops never got that part of the message and the dispatcher was fired over it. Secondly, you can't trust a citizen driving by to professionally evaluate such a situation. It was a park renown for drug activity, gunfire, and even deaths. If the kid had proper parenting, he would not have been allowed to leave the house with a totally realistic looking gun. But we can't blame bad parenting.....nooooo, blame the cop instead. The shooting was ruled justified.
That an the police know they get in trouble when they shoot white kids.
No wonder you're so screwed up. You make shit up out of thin air.
Again, considering most of those "traffic violations' are "Driving while black", I don't have a problem with not doing them.
If you are such a racist fuck you can't treat the community with respect, maybe you'd be happier doing something else for a living.
Respect the community how, by being scared of the criminals in it?
Traffic stops are a dragnet. When our suburb used to do them, very often they'd find people with active warrants, high as a kite, and no drivers licenses. And if not the driver, possibly one of his passengers. The police were able to get them to jail before they robbed a store or something. When they got out, they told their brothers don't mess around in our city, otherwise you'll end up in jail. That's the way it should be.
