Most police aren't as bad as they're made out to be, there will never be a time when no one in power abuses that power. It seems like all cops are out to get you, and all of them are trigger happy, but that's not how it is, that's what the media preoccupies people with. People forget controversy makes ratings, ratings = $. It's a very simple equation, and the news is a business, the point of business is to make money, even if you have to stir shit up to do it.
I've met pigs, and I've met good cops, and a very close friend of mine is a cop, a cop not getting charged because he was justified in the shooting doesn't mean cops get away with murder, there are just, and unjust shootings, and unless we were there and witnessed it, we'll never know how it truly went down.
This video does seem unjustified IMO though.

I agree with this statement.

Cops are criminals.

Yes I posted about the dillon taylor shooting in the other cop thread going on right now.
The cop basically killed this kid because he had his hands in his pockets..
He was wearing an ipod, and didn't even know there were cops on him until he turned around and 3 of them were pointing guns in his face.
They hardly gave him a chance to react at all, just blew him away literally as he was pulling his hands out of his pocket.
Within 10 seconds of him realizing what was going on, he was dead. The cop pretty much gave him NO CHANCE.
And it has been ruled a "justified shooting"
Yes, something is wrong with our society and with our police. It is completely sickening.
America needs a Maidan/Arab spring. Fuck this shit.

you are absolutely incorrect. you are philosophically moronic if you are going to give excuses for this kind of senseless and unaware reactions from dolts behinds badges. if they can't control a UNARMED MAN than they need to be fired. even better yet, for this grave perception of absolute stark idiocy, they should be dragged out and shot to make an example of how not to react under meeting of persons on the streets. then you can argue how senseless it is. because from the point of view from anyone else with a brain, it seems there are two coalitions in this divide... people who accept senseless killing, and people who don't. maybe one side needs to be shown clearer what they approve of.

He pretty clearly called the cop a fool and made eye contact for several seconds before he got shot. He was fucking with the cop and the cop felt threatened and then shot the dude. The cop gave him lots of chances to put his hands up, and the dude didn't comply. Instead he started reaching for shit and decided to test the cops boundaries. He found those boundaries. This is not a clear example of an unjustified police killing.
That dude might have just robbed a place or shot somebody right before the police found him. There may have been reason to approach him with weapons drawn. Nobody has made any of the preceding circumstances clear.

you're defending this ridiculous mindset that cops deserve to be praised because they sign on to a dangerous task; and that they don't deserved to be held under any realistic scrutiny because their job is "too stressful" too "dangerous" to give a damn about the value of a human life; and that they don't need to be concerned with anyone else's safety if their own is in jeopardy even though they SIGNED ON WILFULLY.

So calling someone a fool and having your hands in your pockets is adequate grounds for being shot in the chest? These fucking retards are so incompetent they werent even approaching the right guy to start with. Someone needs to find out where he lives and cap him in the throat.

to be clear: to anyone who isn't thinking right now: if the cops had any thoughts in their brain to not react like an ape might react when cornered (and they weren't cornered), they would have drawn their weapons and targeted, but would have waited to confirm that he had a weapon, before they would have been in danger and fired.
but because they were stupid godawful things that should be put down (for they also too run amok) they just jumped like apes and reacted to NOTHINGNESS.
they are a bane to the human race. and anyone who defends them needs to check their brains.

Only a dummy could come to that conclusion from reading my comment.

Like I said in my first post, I aint defending this one. But the knee jerk nitwits instantaneously condemning all cops are just that. Nitwits. Competent, organized assholes like me would fuck their shit up in a heartbeat if it wasn't for cops. And I aint even that evil, I would just do it out of self preservation.
The press gets paid to sensationalize. That goes for all of them. For the most part they are scum enablers. Do you know what their drumbeat against the cops lately has achieved? Vastly increased murders and violent crime. Due to the Press, Obama, Holder and Shira Shindlin a lot more civilians are dieing in the streets. The irony is is that is mostly not whitey bearing the brunt of the cop hating.

Sure. Except that designation has been on the census for decades.

No. I'm just not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt anymore. Their culture is one of a criminal enterprise, and I think it is reasonable to assume that the members of this group should be considered criminals.
