The Police Brutality Thread

God dammit.

That is a horrible story.

But I am more curious, does the same guy do every opening narration for news stations around the world? I bet that dude makes a mint.

Wuap talking about a law suit got me thinking are police alone in causing death through negligence.

I would be happy to hear from the Dr's on this board on this subject, but when I googled the subject a report said 225,000 deaths were caused by Dr.'s in the US.

Is that anywhere close to being true and should I have looked at additional sites?

Maybe the attorneys will scoff at this, but I think the victim has one hell of a civil suit against the cop who shot him.

No of course he has a civil suit. I hope he bankrupts the city.

A girl from high school married a police officer and understandably so, posts a bunch of pro law enforcement stuff on FB. This recent video shooting is probably one she should avoid. Dude just got flat out plugged.

Mourning today for many reasons, many lives, many situations, and wishing that video clips could be reliable but this is why I rarely comment on police video until all details are out, you just never know what calls have come in before hand or what happened before the video clip that you're seeing, the 360 view of the officer, what made them make the choice. No matter what happens, lives have been lost and both ends will mourn and have their lives affected forever. Either way, even when it's a hardened criminal, officers don't rejoice in the death, they're glad that they saved other lives. If it's an unjustified mistake, they mourn even more. And, lately with all of the officers being ambushed they have to make split second decisions even quicker than before. I pray for all families affected.

she's right though

[Dwight Schr-ute]

she's right though

Of course she it. But she's wildly inconsistent and to use this event as an opportunity to point out that "what we're not seeing" seemed like a bad misstep. She'll ignore this and when the next questionable excessive force story comes out, she'll get back to wondering out loud why the cops don't get the benefit of the doubt on these things.

Yeah, don't think so. City is probably self-insured up to a $1 million and the insurance policy kicks in after that.

Here's a pretty honest assessment of what's going on. WARNING: NSFW!

I don't feel bad, but I recognize there is something wrong with me.

I feel much better now.

And why exactly did they handcuff the gentleman whose life they had just so heroically saved?

I believe the Florida PR is being handled by the Trump campaign. Just say stupid shit and hope nobody listens or checks it out.
