But, by the same token they're not facing a heavily armed population either.

And that is something to keep in mind, American cops are almost always going to be dealing with armed opponents. I think I would be a bit paranoid as well if I were them.

True. The public is armed because it is frightened (of lots of things) and the cops are frightened of the armed plebs. Checkmate.

It's incidents like these that make me embarrassed to be an American

It took 0.42 seconds to find this with the search string

police shoot unarmed man in the back

in Google. There were 285,000 hits.

Quote:John Lockett testified that Captain Randy Harrison shot Dane Scott Jr. despite him raising his hands to surrender. Harrison is on trial for first-degree murder. His defense has attempted to portray the shooting victim as a drug dealer.

Apparently, as far as these fucking lawyers are concerned, being a drug dealer is a capital offense and no trial or conviction is needed for execution by this cop.

Cop fingers detainees freckles with his bare fingers. Gee I hope he doesn't chew his finger nails!

I hope they don't put this shit chute aficionado in the general male prison population. With all the turd tamping that goes on there it would be more like a reward for this grubby bum bandit with a badge.

The Daily Sheeple is not exactly the most reputable news source around..however it took next to no time at all to find the story on a mainstream news site...a FOX affiliate no less.

Of particular amusement is the statement from the chief of police who ignored the allegations for two years.

Quote:Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn released the following statement:

“The Milwaukee Police Department remains committed to holding itself to the highest ethical and professional standards. We can not break the law in the name of enforcing the law. We can not pursue noble ends using ignoble means. We will continue to work to regain the trust of those whose confidence in us has been undermined by these events.”

Total bullshitter this guy.

I'd read the story elsewhere yesterday and just clicked on a link at random (and because I liked the name) to post the article here today.

If a copper put a sheila, let alone dozens of them, in a choke hold and digitally raped her he would be looking at a ten year minimum down here. Quite rightly coppers are subject to higher criminal culpability than your average Joe Bloggs citizen.

I say throw the cunt in the exercise yard with the hardened crims and let it be well known he is a copper.

The entire criminal justice system has become a joke over here. The police are out of control but they are that way because the courts and the prosecutors have allowed, even demanded, it.

Any police force inevitably actually attracts the worst in humanity, i.e. uniform loving control freak authoritarians, not the reverse. The same applies to religious, political, and military organisations. You can't have an organisation full of nothing else but we-know-what's-best-for-you fascistic authority freaks and expect them not to abuse the rules, no matter how undemanding they are.

These narcissistic pricks really believe they should be above any human rules.

It goes even deeper than that, though.

Quote:"Prison Industrial Complex" (PIC) is a term we use to describe the overlapping interests of government and industry that use surveillance, policing, and imprisonment as solutions to what are, in actuality, economic, social, and political "problems."

And it's a new year....but the same old shit.

Quote:Two North Carolina parents are in shock after local police shot and killed their 18-year-old son in their own home, while they watched helplessly.

Quote:An officer from the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office and another from the Boiling Spring Lakes police department showed up to the house soon after. Eventually, a third officer from the Southport police department entered the home as well, and ordered the use of tasers to subdue Vidal. According to Wilsey, Vidal was pinned on the ground by two of the officers when a third said, “we don’t have time for this,” and shot Vidal, killing him.
