Cop in America doing a bad job, again



"Shots fired! Shots fired! 1 down...... SHOW ME YOUR HANDS! SHOW ME YOUR feckING HANDS!"

It seems we may have gone from a strobe light in a shooting to no light at all in a shooting. We were discussing inconsistencies earlier. This is ridiculous.

Does a ‘gun to someone’s head’ warrant a shooting? Was the cop just trying to give him a hand in his efforts?

No it doesn't, it's absolutely mental beyond belief. I mean if a guy has a gun to his head, isn't this where the good talk cop is supposed to talk him about of it?

In no way should that person have ever been employed in a job with a gun.

"He didn't comply. He didn't show his hands after I shot him 10 times."

Colorado officers who violently arrested 73-year-old with dementia laughed about incident afterward, video shows

Video of the Loveland Police Department booking area shows the officers who made the arrest, Austin Hopp and Daria Jalali, re-watching body camera footage and laughing about the incident while the woman, Karen Garner, sat handcuffed to a bench in a nearby cell.

The officers fractured Garner’s arm and dislocated her shoulder during the arrest, her family has said. “Ready for the pop?” an officer identified by Garner’s lawyer as Hopp said to other officers while re-watching the body camera footage together. “What popped?” another officer asked. “I think it was her shoulder,” Hopp responded.

In the video from the booking area, Hopp can also be heard saying, “I can’t believe I threw a 73-year-old on the ground,” and saying he loved watching the body camera footage of his fight with the elderly woman.

I feel a little bad for the female cop watching it head-in-hands and saying she hates it, but this is the kind that should have been reported, and probably would have been if policing as a whole was very different.
 
I mean, the difference between a person holding a gun to their own head and talking on a cordless phone is probably pretty stark. Stark enough that you should be able to tell the difference at any time, in any light but what gets me is that the cop shot a guy whom he thought was holding a gun to his own head. Like, don't kill yourself bro, Imma do it for you.
 
Now, there is maybe a situation where if the guy was holding the microphone end of the phone away from his face a bit as you sometimes do where it might look like he was pointing something at his head and the dispatcher might have mentioned a gun but the dispatch should also note that they have the guy on the phone.

This seems like another case of barking random, confusing orders and then shooting when the confused person you're shouting at doesn't comprehend your instructions.

i) Need to see the whole video, what happened before that could explain the cops approach?

ii) what was he doing out at night? It’s clearly dark and the cop can’t see anything!

iii) the cop could have legitimately thought confused the taser/telephone to be a gun! Common mistake!

iv) if only he complied with the cops orders!
 
Seems like Chauvin kneeled on a black teenager during a stop for 17 minutes in 2017. There’s apparently a video. DOJ is considering pursuing further charges.

WTF is going on in NC? I can't keep track of all these incidents.

Black man shot in his car by law enforcement. Not much has been released apparently, but sounds extremely suspect on the part of the police. The family of the victim was only allowed to watch a 20 second body cam clip from a single officer, despite many officers being present. Sounds to me like he was gunned down without any legitimate reason. According the family's lawyer, he wasn't reaching for anything and did not make any sudden movements. Not sure if there are state specific laws on this, but the fact that nothing has been made available to the public indicates that the police have a bad case, in my opinion. A total of 7(!) deputies have been placed on leave after the incident.
 
Will we see the Andrew Brown shooting or can they block the video release?

Difficult to feel sorry for her in the slightest.

Her lack of speaking out shows condoning of the incident.

I think it also shows the pressure within that "ratting" others out may see one suddenly unemployed, or far worse. Personally, if I were going to expose some bullshit within I'd certainly make a taped confession for immediate public release should something bizarre/nefarious happen to me and have an outside attorney on retainer. In any line of work.

Yeah this is the one I posted last week I think, there's no excuses for shooting an unarmed person 10 times - it's barbaric. If this guy survives, it will be a miracle.

It's not the police's job to kill people, even criminals - I'm not sure why we've normalised it so much that we're even at this point.

But he had a phone pointed at his own head.
 
Basically of youre a non-white person living in America and you get stopped by cops theres a high chance of you getting assaulted if not killed?

So basically most of the population?

Keeps happening over and over again then something must be wrong, yet the fact it keeps happening over and over again means they must be unwilling to anything about it.

“The shot to the head was fired from "intermediate" range and penetrated Brown's skull and brain, according to Hall, who is based in Boone, North Carolina. The bullet wound had a trajectory of "bottom to top, left to right and back to front," Hall's report said.”

That’s... yeah, that sounds like an execution.

‘Bottom to top’ is a touch damning.

Wonder if that was the training or SOP like these apparently were?

Statiscally there's not a very high chance of killed by the police, when there is about 50 mil police interactions every year and 10 mil arrests. Roughly 230 black people get killed by the police per year counting both armed and unarmed. In 2019 the number of unarmed black people killed was around 25 killed in total while those killed by shots was 15. The rate of getting roughed up/assaulted, being subjected to police misconduct/dickheads obviously much higher.
