Cop in America doing a bad job, again

The American justice system is rigged. It's scary how many police officers hold right wing views.

ROBBINS, Ill. — Witnesses said a Midlothian police officer responding to a shooting inside a south suburban bar shot and killed the wrong person early Sunday morning.

After security asked a group of drunken men to leave Manny’s Blue Room Bar around 4 a.m. Sunday, witnesses said someone came back with a gun and opened fire. Security returned fire, and according to witnesses, 26-year-old armed security guard Jemel Roberson apprehended one of the men involved outside.

"He had somebody on the ground with his knee in back, with his gun in his back like, 'Don’t move,'" witness Adam Harris said.

Soon after, witnesses said, an officer responding to the scene fired at Roberson — killing him.

"Everybody was screaming out, 'He was a security guard,'" Harris said. "And they basically saw a black man with a gun and killed him."

And a Union statement saying it was clean kill. Maybe police should have their firearms in a lockbox somewhere in the patrol car. That way they can't fire off rounds while they shit their pants, and it will give the public a chance to defuse a situation because in these situations a roid rage cop can't.
 
The lawyer only needs to prove that there was sufficient chaos to put a reasonable doubt in the police officer's mind.
 
Cops shot the wrong guy in a mall shooting during Thanksgiving night shopping.
The 21-year-old man who was fatally shot by a police officer at an Alabama mall on Thanksgiving night likely was not the gunman who opened fire and injured two holiday shoppers, police said Friday night.

Police identified Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr. as the man who was engaged, shot and killed by a police officer after an altercation at Hoover’s Riverchase Galleria near Birmingham, AL.com reported Friday.

Police initially said Bradford fired the shots, but investigators now say they believe that the gunman responsible for injuring a 18-year-old male and a 12-year-old female is still at-large. Both victims remain hospitalized.

It's the shitty field test kits they use that throw up a ton of false positives. They're garbage and shouldn't be in use, but since it gives the police probable cause they need to harass the citizenry (especially minorities, though not in this particular case), they'll continue using them.

Some reports have the deceased running away from the scene with a weapon in hand & he was a part of the original altercation; while still inside the mall, he was gunned down. No report on if the cop was shouting instructions at him to stop, etc. I would suspect not, I suspect the cop just started firing away & killing the kid, missing the chance to apprehend the real shooter. Now the cop gets a paid vacation until the powers-that-be determine it was a ‘good shot.’

If true, it would definitely play into this idiom:

You know what cops call a good guy with a gun?

...a second shooter

Alton Sterling’s 18 year old son was arrested for raping an 8 year old boy after having an “episode”

This is, a truly astonishing post.
The son of a man who was shot at point blank range by the police, is accused of something horrific - so you felt the need to link the two incidents?

Not only does it have nothing to do with the police state, and therefore has no business being in this thread. But it also reveals your motivations behind wanting to post a 'balanced view' in here, as you've tried to put it previously.

I mean, it's not a surprise - we all knew it, but at least you've revealed it yourself.

He wasn’t mentioned for any reason which you seem to have jumped on here :confused:

Sterlings prior convictions include but aren’t limited to carnal knowledge with a teenager, whether that may or may not tie into his sons behavior or choice of action, I couldn’t say. I just came across the story and mentioned it.

As for the last two points, there’s been plenty posted in this thread that you haven’t seemed to call out so voraciously. As for positing a balanced view and “revealing myself” as what exactly? What prior discussions did I not try and offer a fair view of? Or not condemn officers for when things were out of order?

It's a thread about cops, what does your article have to do with the behaviour of cops?

Sterlings convictions have nothing to do with this thread, and that wasn't why he was killed.

Since the last time I posted in this thread, it's only been stories about the behaviour of cops, so i'm not sure what you want me to call out.

I called out your post because you're implying that the actions of Sterling's son is somehow relevant to this thread. It's not.
He's accused of a horrific act, and if guilty - I hope he is tried for a long period of time. Other than that, there was no need to post that in this thread.

I don’t have an issue with it and can see how it would end up posted here because it’s a story about the son of someone that was discussed in depth on here.

I don't think so.
Black people aren't given the benefit of doubt due to association, representation and stereotypes - you see it on the news all the time.
When it happens with encounters with the police, they often tear apart a person's character as if it justifies what happens to them, or as if that person deserved to be killed because they had a few outstanding parking tickets, or stole something from the corner store.

In this case, it has no relevance to Sterling or the manner in which he was killed - they're completely unrelated except by family ties.
Who cares what his son has done 2 years after the fact? It has no bearing on the manner in which Sterling was killed.

I really shouldn’t have said “might be”. You are.

Skizzo never attempted to connect the son’s action’s to his father’s shooting. That’s you putting (many) words in his mouth.

If you feel it was posted incorrectly or in the wrong place, say so. Don’t go off on some rant about it shows who I am as a person and “finally reveals who I really am”

I never mentioned race or anything to do with Alton’s death. Funnily enough, You assumed more about me than I did about anyone of any race.

Can you tell me the relevance of Sterling's sons behaviour, in a thread about cops doing a bad job?

It does reveal your intentions behind these 'balanced' posts because this particular article has nothing to do with cops doing a good job.
It has nothing to do with cops.

Race is the overarching theme in this thread, as we have discussed many times - it doesn't need to be outwardly expressed because it's heavily implied.

You found issue with this post, and somehow every post I’ve made in this thread has been a facade to cover my evil racist cop intentions? A fair and balanced assessment indeed.

I promise not to post in here again :)

Good grief. Dude saw an article about the son of a guy that was discussed on here for pages of the thread. Posted it in the thread where said guy was discussed for pages.

If you think it’s off topic, report it, don’t go on on tirade question someone’s integrity like you did. This exchange says more about you than it does about Skizzo.

Yeah, that's not it at all, I didn't even call you racist. But carry on. :)

Like I said, guilty character association is often what leads to dangerous misconceptions that affects black people disproportionately and often leads to stereotypes.
The only reason he linked the article is because he's the son of someone who was killed by cops - so this idea that they weren't linked is crazy, it just has no relevance in this thread.

I probably shouldn't have said he revealed his true intentions behind his posts - that was me thinking out loud - but I still find it irrelevant.
