Cop in America doing a bad job, again

A sad outcome. There is no justification for what the police officer did, from my point of view.

This is nuts. Not sure what the cops could have done differently there though (warning: video is extremely graphic) :(

I don't think they could do anything. He was clearly acting as he had a gun and he even did a countdown before "drawing" the fake gun. Maybe shoot him on the legs, before cornering him? once cornered I don't think they had much choice

But maybe in a deescalation education they show some tactics, who knows

I will tell you as well that is related with gun culture. In Spain, the police would have reasonable doubts that an individual has a gun and is faking it most probably
 
Christ almighty, this is attempted murder.

Any word how those obviously run over are doing?

You're asking the wrong question. The proper question is how is the car doing? :rolleyes: :(

Guarantee this guy won't even get fired, let alone charged.

Absolutely not. The injured might win some money in a civil a few years down the road, but the police already factor that into their budgets.

End the vastness of the qualified immunity scope, you’ll end a lot of shit like this. It could possibly be argued that (& I say possibly), if the civilians did break the windshield or windows, then such an evasive maneuver could be warranted. But, just breaking the glass with some implement isn’t going to incapacitate the occupants of a car. It’s not like the glass instantaneously becomes lethal shrapnel. I’ve been in two roll over wrecks & I don’t recall many cuts from all the glass that was broken, at least none serious. That’s the way the fecking glass is designed.

Wonder if the cop(s) got out of their vehicle after stopping a short distance away to render aid? If so, their excuse about feeling threated before the attempted murder attempt becomes even more laughably thin.
 
Saw a commentary about this earlier. Still havent watched the actual video and not sure I want to. Can a federal law be passed that overriredes rules for training and selection of police officers at the state level?
 


every single one of these pigs should be [redacted]


Almost 10 cops treating a 9 year old kid like this or not caring that they are treating her like this

The video isn't difficult to watch, really. Just perplexing. Like how devoid of humanity do you have to be to not want to use normal, caring and rational means to calm a child who is in distress? The only answer is she's black and none of them know how to treat a black person like a human being. The worst for me was I was pretty sure there was more than one female office present and you;d expect a bit more from them in that situation, well if they weren't racist I suppose.
 
They tell a 9 year old girl to stop acting like a child and then use a chemical weapon on her. Cowardly fecking bastards. If the police were called because you were disciplining your children with pepper spray they would be taken from you. All these cowardly cnuts should be on a register.
