The Police Brutality Thread

[smokymountainrain]

I'm sick of cops shooting dogs! This incident is particularly eggregious. Cop enters homeowners backyard unannounced and kills dog.

This is terrible. Weimaraners are bird dogs and simply aren't aggressive in an attacking sort of way. They are essentially a bigger version of my dog. Very energetic and would probably jump on anybody who came into the backyard but wouldn't bite or attack in any way. I know that if a cop were to come into my backyard for any reason, my dog would run to him and jump on him or at least try to jump on him until the cop shoots him twice in the head.

Is there a potential lawsuit there for trespassing or destruction of property? Are officers allowed to search your property looking for a missing child? What if they had uncovered a meth lab; would the evidence be admissible? Why wouldn't you just pepperspray or tase the dog rather than a headshot?

Or just do like everyone else does and run your ass back out the gate and then figure out your next move. Hell, you could go next door and peer over the fence and look for the kid.

No knock warrant over .2 grams of pot gets a citizen killed.

Those cops should be in jail.

As much as I hate rogue policemen, I hate this thread, too. Almost the most depressing thread on the site.

Poof.

Poof.

No need to result to homophobic slurs.

This is a hoax. But, it's very sad that it was able to fool so many people as believable. When I first read it, my initial instinct, over the space of 30 seconds, was, "NO WAY" followed by "marsupial is going to go ballistic" followed by, "I'm checking Snopes on this one."

It really is sad people are so stupid.

When you hear about brutality on a weekly basis that results in death, they're not so much stupid as gullible.

Crazy live updates being given by Wesley Lowery on twitter. Entertaining, but if factual, sounds more like 1954 Mississippi, than 2014 Missouri. @WesleyLowery on twitter

Also @rembert should be followed.

Did MO secede from the Union, while I was on vacation last week?

Wow, that's crazy. I admit to chuckling a little, however, at the guy screaming for fifteen minutes that he couldn't breathe. Uh....yeah he can.
