Fucking Cops

[Whateverist]

Yeah, very disappointing. They need to be held accountable for this sort of shit.

All becomes clear when you click on the link for the ACLU's complaint.

Plaintiff Gregory Zullo is a Vermonter of African descent residing in Rutland County.

Why am I not surprised?

Must be so hard to find suspects that fit the description up there in the frozen north. I suppose people of color up there are taking the abuse that 10 people of color would share in other places in the country.

Here's a little swift action. Of course, the guy was a troublemaker to begin with so they were probably looking for an excuse.

So let's see what's happening today in the world of police stupidity/brutality.

Georgia first.

Oops! Cops raid Georgia man’s home after mistaking okra for weed

A Georgia man was awoken Wednesday morning to find a police helicopter hovering overhead and sheriff’s deputies at the door to search his property for drugs.

“They were strapped to the gills,” said Dwayne Perry, describing the heavily armed officers.

Agents from the Governor’s Task Force for drug suppression flying overhead spotted what they believed to be marijuana growing in the yard of Perry’s home in Cartersville, reported WSB-TV.

They send a fucking SWAT team out on the basis of (mis)identifying a plant from an aircraft? The guy is lucky that the fuckers just didn't douse his house in Agent Orange!

And...whaddaya know.... Georgia AGAIN!

Cops kill Georgia grandpa in no-knock raid triggered by burglary suspect’s tip

When Teresa Hooks looked outside the craft room window of her Georgia home one night last week, she saw hooded figures wearing camouflage standing outside.

The East Dublin woman woke up her husband, David Hooks, who grabbed his shotgun, believing burglars who had recently targeted the couple had come back again, reported WMAZ-TV.

The sheriff’s deputies burst through the back door about 11 p.m. on Sept. 24 and, seeing David Hooks holding the weapon, fired 16 shots – killing the 59-year-old grandfather.

That shit makes me sad

The worst part is that there is no justice. The District Attorneys back the cops 99% of the time. The only time they don't is when there is video evidence that shows the cops just executed someone. Hence their desire to prevent anyone from acquiring such evidence or broadcasting it.

Fuck. When a guy is leaning on a toy gun in a store and they shoot him in the back the DA still doesn't see anything wrong even when there is a tape. This country is in deep shit.

Fucking no-knock warrants need to go, amongst other reforms.

Sadly, these Fox Fucks have no problem with the police gunning down whoever they like apparently.

Fox host blames Obama and Holder’s Ferguson comments for 20-year-old ‘Copwatch’ group

You can't ever embarrass a republicunt with their own stupidity though.

“But the bigger issue is,” he said, “are we creating a distrust, a mistrust, a cynicism about our police? A lot of people on the left, and a lot of people on the right agree — we need to watch the watchers.”

“But at the same time, are we creating such an environment for our police officers that we believe their actions are going to be suspect, are going to be criminal? Shouldn’t we have more confidence,” Johnson asked, “in their ability to do the right thing?”

My answer is 'no.' Just based on the number of times they do the wrong thing.

[Jackalope]

So what's his solution to the problem? "Trust cops to do the right thing"?

No.
