I can't help but notice that in that photo the cops are standing there guarding the klansmen...not pointing guns at them.

Not even slightly surprising.

When the cops go off duty they probably put on their hoods and robes.

Here's where the cops get their license to kill.

The national legal standards that govern when police officers are justified in using force against people trace their lineage to a 1984 case from Charlotte, North Carolina. In that case, a diabetic man's erratic behavior during a trip to a convenience store for juice to bring up his low blood sugar led to a confrontation with officers that left him with injuries from head to foot.

Dethorne Graham's subsequent lawsuit against police for his injuries led to a 1989 Supreme Court decision that has become the prism for evaluating how police use force. As soon as Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown on Aug. 9, the Graham v. Connor case became the foundational test for whether Wilson's response was appropriate or criminal.

Are there any standards for when the police are not allowed to kill us? Or any times when they're held responsible for accidentally killing us?

[Minimalist]

Apparently all they need to say is "I felt threatened" and they can kill anyone they want.

American police kill one suspect every day

The police in and around Ferguson have shot and killed twice as many people in the past two weeks (Mr Brown plus one other) as the police in Japan, a nation of 127m, have shot and killed in the past six years. Nationwide, America’s police kill roughly one person a day (see chart).

This bastard probably wants a good-conduct badge for only using a taser.

They tossed a damn flash grenade into a toddler's crib to serve a no-knock warrant over an alleged $50 drug sale?

I think it's high time we collectively ask the question: WHY THE FUCKING FUCK are judges issuing no-knock dynamic entry warrants for petty, inconsequential crimes of possession?

Authorities have said they were not aware children were staying at the home, but the Bounkhams said their minivan with car seats and decals depicting the couple and their four children was parked near the door.

...and for fuck's sake, when you are going to be THROWING GRENADES into somone's place of residence, you fucking ought to be goddamn sure who the fuck is at home.

Seriously. A $50 drug purchase, and you're going to start throwing flash bangs?

Our law enforcement priorities are seriously fucked up.
