The Police Brutality Thread

This dude wasn't even on the clock. He was working a private security job on his day off...in uniform.

I thought officers could do private work and use their uniforms. Your questions should actually be. Why do Police Departments allow this..

How is this unpunished?

Wow, that is scary. So an unarmed man standing in his own home, with his hands raised, asks a cop if he can scratch is own nose, the cop says yes, and when he goes to scratch it another cop shoots him. And officials have done nothing for 18 months. Talk about a broken system.

Did I just watch someone die?

I'm not sure how I feel about this. While it's sad that I get the sentiment, which isn't born of nothing, I'm not sure it's fair.

It isn't fair because it isn't an honest portrayal. The police officers in my town don't typically patrol with their riot gear on.

I heard the policeman shout "Drop the Gun". Drop the Gun". Multiple times in that video. This happened yesterday. I would like more information before I comment..

i just love how whenever someone goes out and kills cops sitting in their car, there's no way conceivable way it can be connected to the rhetoric of the protests. but when a cop shoots an armed robber in self defense, the judgment of all cops should be second guessed by filming their every move.

bump.

I watched Morning Joe this morning. They had Al Sharpton and the President of the Urban league. They of course condemned the shooting of the cops.

The urban league guy said something about, this just re-emphasizes the grievances AA's have in Ferguson.

Then Joe, Mika and these gentlemen went onto discuss how racist Oklahoma and Alabama are.

I had to go to another channel to find out how the cops were doing.

This one's going to be all over the news. WARNING: Shows someone being shot to death.

Saw this last night. Horrible. The cop has already been charged with murder and it seems pretty cut and dried.

If this was not caught on camera do you think it would have been investigated?? I mean, he was shot in the back.

That dude deserves to be charged with murder. HOLY COW...

Good thing he cuffed that dead guy he just used for target practice. I know I feel safer.

For a second I was afraid that the dead guy was going to get himself beat up for not complying/resisting arrest. Glad to see the officer use some restraint.
