Fucking Cops

[Brakeman]

It was blue on black crime...and it may have been an accident.

But can you imagine what the fucking cops would do if a suspect refused to answer questions or lawyer-up?

My point was that if it had be a "more valuable" color victim, then he might have gotten his neck broken for refusing questions and the issue would have escalated in minutes not days. Would this guy,
Butch Ayers, Chief of police, have allowed the shooter to leave the scene without making a statement if the victim was a white republican lady? I bet not..

The real cops are bad enough....these wannabes are really the pits.

Video shows four parole officers detained by gun-wielding police for Driving While Black

Last year, four black parole officers driving on their way to arrest someone were blocked in by patrol cars at a busy intersection in the village of Airmont in Ramapo, New York (about 35 miles north of New York City). According to video obtained recently by a Rockland County newspaper, the Journal News, the police pointed their guns at the parole officers, who had aroused suspicions because they were black people wearing bulletproof vests.

Will someone claim that these are "good cops?"

SC refuses to release 'horrible and offensive' dashcam video of officer killing unarmed black man

The shooting was so egregious that the family of Ernest Satterwhite received a $1.2 million settlement for his wrongful death. Officer Craven is using the same old tired excuse that Satterwhite tried to go for his gun, but the dashcam video apparently shows that Satterwhite never even got out of his car when Craven fired five times into the car and shot Satterwhite four times at close range.

Instead of being charged with any serious crime in the shooting, Craven was charged with the misdemeanor charge of "misconduct by an officer" and posted a $20,000 bail two hours later.
This much is clear—the early public release of videos of shootings by police has a real impact on how serious the subsequent charges are. If this video is as "horrible and offensive" as public officials privately claim it to be, the public pressure to charge Justin Craven with a serious crime would have been substantial. Instead, his case flew under the national radar and he was charged with a crime in which he could literally just receive a $1,000 fine. While a 10-year sentence for police misconduct is the maximum, police officers are almost never given maximum sentences, even when charged with murder.

So much for the panacea of dash cams for cops.

I prefer this article where it closes by asking if the video had been of Satterwhite shooting the cop, would it have been withheld to ensure that Satterwhite received a fair trial??

It's in Bold 24 pt Type on Page 1 of the "What To Do When You Kill Someone" Police Handbook.

Wimpy cops who feel the need to preemptively kill the public for their own safety don't deserve special consideration.

That is obviously true.

The jails are just as bad as the cops.
