Cop in America doing a bad job, again

Both
Guy doesn’t look white to me at all.
Crazy! However, this should probably be in the typically bad things thread, cop didn't do a bad thing here. At least based on what was presented...
Problem with these kinds of “articles” and “studies” is the obvious lack of context and nuance to explain a biased narrative.
What constitutes “Police violence”? Is all police violence bad? Are justified shootings and uses of force considered bad?
It doesn’t specify what “unarmed” is. Only guns included in the definition?

Is this recent shooting and killing another negative mark for the department according to the article?
I wasn't going to post this because this cop didn't do anything wrong.
LAPD morons should have been defunded 3 decades ago.
Those clowns let that truck with the Gadsden flag run free and taunting people as well.

Nothing to see here, we were told the LAPD has to show restraint, so this is a very measured response.
oh yeah that looks real peaceful
What wasn't peaceful about it? Were they shouting too loud for your taste?
Grabbing onto the officer’s baton to disarm him isn’t peaceful.
And I’m only assuming here that with most of these videos a dispersal order has already been issued simultaneously with the skirmish lines being formed. If that is true, then no one should be intentionally behind the skirmish line or breaching through it.
You talking about that guy in the white t-shirt? As far as I can tell, he's just stepping in between the police and the girl they just shoved to the ground, not grabbing for anything. And he gets a solid hit to the head for his trouble.
The first clip, long hair Jesus looking dude with black wife-beater
Thought they were the de-escalation champions?
Listen guys, we have been told in this thread that LAPD always shows restraint because they have to. So stop you complaining, this is just tough love.
Millennials, man
Are they serious? Stuff like that is a reason why too many cops in the US are a brainless lot of waste of taxpayer money.
If you're gonna go to a protest in America, you seriously need to be armed. Might be the only possible way you don't get fecking rained on by the cops.
Granted you might get shot instead but still.
I hate the idea of it but they're so far gone man. Fight fire with fire and protect yourself because they won't play by the rules.
Feel like if every pro-choice person (or BLM protestor in the past) was carrying an AR-16, the police might have second thoughts trying to tackle them, similar to how they don't seem to be too bothered with the right when they start going all Gravy Seals on things. Now they might go lightly on them because they're white and usually a middle aged male but you never know.

Or run over by a MAGA dipshit.
As some of the replies say, the deceased was probably about to be a whistleblower.
I sustained a shoulder injury one night in the back of a police van when I was thrown around & not buckled down properly. Looks like this guy suffered far worse…
There aren't even seatbelts in there. Is that van supposed to be used for hand-cuffed people?
Looks similar to the type of van I was in.
What the feck? All of those people need to be prosecuted, but I know they won't be.
That police van was definitely designed to hurt people. Like, explicitly, not being facetious.
When I worked in the police we used vans as for transport / temporary containment during high risk events and such. The first thing on the checklist when we put them in the van was to put on their seatbelts even if we had no intention of driving anywhere, it's not just for their safety but ours as well.
I have bookmarked this post as it is the first time I have been mistaken for a millennial through any communication medium ever!
fecking murderers. And this is done in purpose. So many times they have used vans to kill and cripple people.
I'm sorry but if you are a Cop and don't stand up to this shit, you are a cnut piece of shit. No matter if you don't do this type of shit yourself.
San Fran cut over 130million
Yep, should have referenced SF, but they are definitely an outlier.
