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.

Here is a good article from the post that breaks down the FBI Supplementary report. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/18/up...says.html?_r=0
The study discussed in the podcast that I linked to, and that you approved of, showed findings that level of training gave most police a higher reliability of threat assessment rating, the exception being those people who work closely in and around the gang units.

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.

Also PlastronCafe you can say people understand, but they don't and trust me its not like fire fighters. Fire Fighters don't have to guess if a fire is friendly or not. A Fire Fighter does not respond multiple fires a night. Fire Fighters know there enemy and don't have to make judgement calls like police officers do.
Do you know any firefighters, because it sounds to me like you don't.

You say "people understand that police put their lives on the line" But frankly most people don't. Most people have never had to fight for their lives, most people don't know what its like to fight for a gun with a man who is bigger and stronger than you, but unless you have felt that adrenaline rush....that fight or flight instinct, you have never had stare death in the face.
Now imagine you had to go through all of that, and you aren't getting paid for it. Imagine it's not something you volunteered for.

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.

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.

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

When is police brutality ever "necessary"? Do you even know what "police brutality" means?

Police brutality is the use of excessive and/or unnecessary force by police when dealing with civilians.

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:
Bleeding out.

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...

Tasers are actually considered non-leathal. Tasers have saved many lives, bc instead of an officer having to use a gun or pepper spray they can use a stun gun. Pepper spray actually kills more people due to food allergies. Tasers can kill people that have heart conditions, thats the only major down side.
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.........

The United States was, still is, and always will be, a bigoted country.

We were never supposed to grow into it.

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

So, on top of mocking African American Vernacular English, you admit to an intolerant human being?

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.
