Current Affairs The " another shooting in America " thread

Child molesting gang member resisting arrested. Deserved

He obviously wasn't a good boy, he has however been killed in the middle of the street by 5 bullets to the chest when perhaps less would have stopped him.

I agree. 1 to the head would have taken care of it.

Fast forward a week and everyone in America has stopped caring. Nothing ever changes.

Surely the cost of providing body cameras would offset the costs of any potential lawsuits.

Probably a net benefit for PD's insurance, but eyewitness phone/video seems to be what's driving the change. Too many officers can simply "forget" to turn their body cameras on (unless technology changes further) for full accountability.

 

[pornpimol2]

That's changing, if only because of the phones of witnesses. Police departments can no longer cover up and wait out the victim's money for lawyers, and must make correct decisions, even if not quick. And the DAs who side with PDs to protect bad cops are being driven out of office also.

Sounds too much like a Nolan Batman flick, but it actually looks like there could be some changes in the way these things are handled. It was just 5 years ago that we were being told that filming police actions was illegal and subject to prosecution. That's been fixed and now police action is seen as a matter of public record.

Just think how sick that is.

Plus, the question of whether he needed to be stopped. What exactly was his crime?

 

[Aqui1a]

I'm not convinced he was going for his gun. Plus, he's got two strong, capable men on top of him... surely one of them could have grabbed his arm or something.

You don't see this happening to people with more money and better political connections (i.e., whites), do you?

No argument with this. Not sure he deserves being brutally murdered. Something about due process and other stuff I ignored in that political science class.

I'm going through this thread when it reaches post 1000 and counting up how many people have been needlessly murdered since it started.

Anyone care to hazard a guess?


And still they cling to their archaic laws and their precious guns.

God bless 'murica
