I don't want my last reply to make it sound as if I blame all of the racial problems in Ferguson on black racism. Racism is both an action and a reaction. Both races should be shamed and pushed into better behavior by fair rational people.
There is an old saying that "to a man with a hammer, the world is a nail." Cops have that hammer and have to use it daily on a large segment of our population. The cops who cover a poor white neighborhood might occasionally beat white innocent people that look like his normal arrest-able segment, and the same could be true for a cop trawling black neighborhoods.
Pretty soon any common denominator begins to look like nails.
I've proposed that beat policemen be forced to work with the public in a non-enforcment manner at least a few days a month in the vain hopes of breaking the psychological tide that every non-cop is simple a future perp.
Of course, budgets would never allow for that, so cops become weirder and weirder people who are so used to bullying people they can't help themselves. This is why they are so well represented in divorce and domestic abuse cases.
Find the cure for Fundementia!

I think you are kidding yourself about Wilson. No one knows what happened at the car because only Wilson survived and he has every incentive to lie. But that he got out of the car and chased him down and executed him seems beyond doubt.
Anyway, here's two more heroes who were so terrified by a screw driver that they had to shoot a guy less than 30 seconds after arriving on the scene. These guys had their body cams on but as far as the Dallas DA is concerned, its a good shoot.

Quote:As Harrison exits the home after his mother, officers spy a screwdriver in his hand.
“Can you drop that for me?” one officer can be heard saying. “Drop it!”
Harrisons mother pleads, “James!” just before the officers open fire, killing the man.
Again, don't call the cops for "help."

Calling the cops seems to end up with the person they are supposed to help being shot dead in far too many cases. I suppose you think that is a satisfactory outcome?
And, hey. What's 130 bullets among friends?

Do you really not see what the cops did wrong there?

He's obviously the type who thinks that cops can do no wrong.
How about politicians? And judges? Are they are right too, Psych?

Quote:Rick Perry executed an innocent dad after prosecutor hid evidence in kids’ arson deaths: Texas bar
Quote:The state bar of Texas has filed a formal misconduct accusation against the prosecutor who secured a conviction in one of the country’s most dubious and disputed death penalty cases.
Quote:Despite mounting concern that Willingham was innocent, the former Texas governor Rick Perry refused to stay his execution. In 2009, after an investigation by the Texas Forensic Science Commission found that the arson evidence was faulty, Perry replaced the board’s chairman and two other members and called Willingham “a monster” .

Its not what the cops did wrong there I am talking about. its not seeing that most cops are good cops. if you cannot see that, then you have a problem.

Are you dumb ?, I have already agreed long ago that there are bad cops, but you yourself don't see the good in the force. And of course there are bad politicians and judges, see your so caught up in your hate for cops that you don't even see what I have said, your wearing blinkers, your not seeing the whole picture, where as I do.

And at what point did pointing out improper police conduct equate to meaning that all cops are bad?
Seriously, I'm fed up with you, just repeating again and again that most cops are good, isn't a rebbutal (or even relevant) to this incident or even this thread as a whole.

Is a "good" cop one who keeps silent in the face of abuses by his colleagues? Would you apply that standard to a priest who knows another priest is butt-fucking an altar boy?
I have no doubt that there are cops who would not just blow someone away for the fuck of it. I'm not so sure about cops who would risk reporting or testifying against a cop who did. Can you see even that difference?
