Quote:Virginia ex-cop gets 2-1/2 year sentence for black teen’s shooting death
Quote:A former Portsmouth, Virginia, police officer was sentenced on Wednesday to 2-1/2 years in prison for the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager last year, a court spokesman said.
The ex-officer, Stephen Rankin, 36, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in August for shooting William Chapman II, 18, while investigating a shoplifting report at a Walmart store.

Quote:Mistrial for 2 Ex-Officers in Albuquerque Killing of Mentally Ill Man
Quote:ALBUQUERQUE — After two full days of deliberations, a jury here announced on Tuesday that it had failed to reach a verdict in the murder trial of two former police officers for the 2014 shooting death of a homeless man with paranoid schizophrenia.
And why did they blow him away?
Quote:He told Ms. McGinn that he never saw Mr. Boyd lunge toward the officers but that he “had a feeling he was going to lunge forward.”
And apparently that was good enough for some of the assholes on the jury.
So we've gone beyond "I shot him because he made a suspicious movement" to "I shot him because I thought he might start making a suspicious movement". That's rock bottom.

He's very lucky, BQ. They usually shoot black people for obstructing traffic.... even if there is no traffic!
I'm sure the cops think they showed admirable restraint.

Speaking of which.....

Quote:Police Cite Self-Defense as Sergeant Fatally Shoots Bronx Woman, 66
Quote:A police sergeant responding to a call about a 66-year-old woman acting irrationally in a Bronx apartment fatally shot her after she tried to hit him with a baseball bat on Tuesday, the police said.
Quote:The chief said there had been “several incidents involving this individual with similar types of calls” in the past, but he did not have details of the previous calls.
So...they'd been there before...knew she was nuts and murdered her anyway. Nice going, boys.

This is what happens when there is no video.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37736178
Quote:Jamar Clark death: No police disciplinary proceedings
Quote:Police said the suspect was not handcuffed and they were forced to shoot in self-defence. Their version of events has been supported by the Minnesota state Department of Criminal Apprehension.
But witnesses insisted he was handcuffed and did not struggle with the officers.
It took 11 months for this investigation. Apparently they were mainly concerned to make certain that there was no video tape from any source which would embarrass the powers-that-be.

Quote:A former police superintendent has been found guilty of four child sex abuse charges after decades protesting his innocence.
Gordon Anglesea, 79, who had a long police career in North Wales, abused his position to sexually assault vulnerable young boys around Wrexham in the 1980s.
Two victims described in court how Anglesea had abused them as teenagers.
One said he had been handed around "like a handbag" by a paedophile ring that preyed on children in the care system in north Wales.
Now, a third victim has told Sky News how Anglesea's brutal offending went even further than was outlined in court.

Ah, yeah....good idea. Call the cops for a "wellness check."

Quote:Pregnant Washington woman shot and killed by deputies during ‘wellness check’ on tribal land
Quote:“It’s really upsetting because it was a wellness check,” said Bargala, who is a Seattle University law student. “Obviously, she didn’t come out of it well.”
"Are you okay, miss?"
Bang-bang-bang-bang.
"We'll take care of that!"
