Fucking Cops

Too fucking funny.


(I guess they didn't shoot it because it didn't look black enough?)

Unfortunately, one of those pesky cameras seems to invalidate the official police version of events:

Newly obtained photographic evidence in the July 2013 shooting of Mr. McBean, a 33-year-old computer-networking engineer, shows that contrary to repeated assertions by the Broward Sheriff’s Office, he was wearing earbuds when he was shot, suggesting that he was listening to music and did not hear the officers. The earphones somehow wound up in the dead man’s pocket, records show.

Like so many on here, this story makes me sick.

Getting it right seems to be the last thing the fuckers want.

Too fucking funny.

I would say it was a surprising display of restraint.  I would have put money on there being holes in that statue before they were done.

Unarmed black people get shot dead. Statue holding a weapon survives unharmed. Someone really needs to go over what they're training police to do.

@Minimalist this one is for you!

LAPD in Stand Off with Call of Duty Statue

“One of our designers, who shall not be shamed, pressed it on his way out because apparently when boys find buttons that they are unsure of, their first instinct is to push it.”

Stick a big red button that will end the world in the deepest darkest most remote corner of the earth with a sign and before the paint dries, some idiot will push that button.

William Chapman: unarmed 18-year-old shot dead by officer who killed before

Black teenager accused of shoplifting at Walmart killed in April by white officer Stephen Rankin, who had been suspended for shooting another unarmed man

Chiefs only allowed Rankin to return to frontline policing in March last year, almost three years after he killed an unarmed 26-year-old Kazakh immigrant in February 2011. Rankin was later found to have insulted the man and his family in other online postings.

A sergeant in the department at the time told the Guardian that senior commanders were formally warned by one of Rankin’s supervisors weeks before his first fatal shooting that he was “dangerous” and likely to cause someone harm.

Perhaps that is what they want?

Dead men tell no tales — and they don’t buy cops diamond rings.

Prosecutors say an NYPD officer on a call helped herself to a corpse’s credit card number to buy herself some bling.
Ymmacula Pierre “is accused of disgraceful conduct by using the credit card information of a dead man to buy expensive jewelry,” said Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance.

What's interesting is that for beating the shit out of a 13 year old, the cop gets paid administrative leave but for stealing a credit card....

The NYPD said she’d been suspended without pay for 30 days.

WTF?
