I agree there are good and bad cops, but this stuff does not simply happen in the ghetto, it happens everywhere.

I bet Henry Louis Gates Jr was dressed like a hoodlum when he was arrested for entering his own house.
Guess the guy was lucky he wasn't riddled with bullets for having a house. |

You just don't hear about the white people that get shot. Not saying it happens that often outside of the hood tho. |

Those people are still just as trained as their brothers and sisters in blue, but are apparently more susceptible to reacting on their own inherent biases when placed in a position to make a snap judgement. Or to paraphrase: They're more likely to shoot first. Just like this guy. So the matter might not be an issue of him being poorly trained, but with the training itself. Quote:

You know I'm surprised someone doesn't take this anti-cop sentiment too far. One day one crazy guy is going to go shoot up a police station as "retaliation" and then the crap will really hit the fan.
I can't imagine the backlash that would happen if cops get shot by a bunch of random guys, and then see how the cops respond to that in all future cases. |

They all wanna be like Captain America, so they kill every random plot-armorless being that touches their weapons

My main question with this stuff is what happened to less lethal options? Where did all the tazers and rubber bullets go? Pepper spray?

They still do use pepper spray and tazers, but even then people have been known to complain about those methods as well.

Police should all have long ranged taser guns or something. There's no reason for cops to have lethal ammo.
If you're on a swat team and you're purposely infiltrating some criminal base with hostages that's a different story. |

In fact, police brutality of any kind is unjustified. These officers should be arrested immediately. |

"Of any kind"? What about when it's necessary, in a legitimate emergency?

Even if police officers would have to use excessive force in case there is a "legitimate emergency", it would still be unjustified. |

Plastron this is actually what happened to me. I was a victim at one point and was literally put in a life or death situation literally Spoiler:
This is the very reason why I chose this career. As far as fire fighter go I actually do know one or two. I have nothing but respect for them and they actually saved my life. But the fact is is that they don't have to determine whether or not that "Fire" is going to pull a gun on them. They don't have to determine if the "Fire" is good or bad, its just bad. The podcast you mention with the gang unit is very interesting, but I don't know if it would be the training or the fact a person just develops a bias due to dealing with gangs or it could be the training. My point with the Minnesota Officers is that he escalated the situation instead of deescalating the situation and thats why I think that their should be a national reform when it comes to police training and I think there should be mandatory reporting on all police involved shooting instead of voluntary reporting. Also just a reminder everyone lets try to keep this as civil as possible, feel free to share opinions, but be careful what you post. People may read your post differently then what you intended to write.

I read that he was tasered before he was shot. And tasers can be leathal.
This has been a rough day. I broke down listening to her call out in the video. We need to change. This isn't the America we were supposed to grow into. Then big things happen, that cut us all, makes us sick, and we shrug our shoulders, because the news cycle is maybe 24hours... And yeah, of the 3500 "friends" on FB, it's hit my feed once. We forget too easily. Just a sad couple of days... |

This is what sucks about the Sterling incident, bc the Stun-Gun failed for some reason. The stun-gun should have subdued the subject..... I agree with you that something needs to be done, but nothing probably will get done.........

Can we talk about the cops and civilians shot at the Dallas protests here or should that be a new topic?

Well done, Snake. Well done. By the way, the two victims (Alton Sterling and Philando Castile) weren't "acting and dressing like hoodlums". The former was selling CDs in front of a supermarket, while the latter was reaching for his driver's license while he was in his own car. Last edited by Papenbrook; 07-07-2016 at 09:21 PM. |
