Why does ISIL even bother when we have cops that are fully committed to terrorizing us?
You’ve probably seen this by now, but I just watched the whole thing.
Insane. More money for dashboard cams, please.

Wow this is disgusting. I would like to see personal cameras on every officer. Glad to see awareness building for this issue.
I actually hadn’t seen it. So has the “police officer” been arrested yet? This fucking pig shot an unarmer guy for not wearing his seat belt and going back into his truck to get his license that he was asked to get.
This is utter madness! Did hunting season on black and brown people start already? Rather than a deer lincense you just need a police badge. I’d be interested to hear someone defend the that vile fascist swine. Go ahead. Say it was a “isolated incident” or the cop “was scared.” Come on you sympathizers. I fucking dare you..
Until a real leader in some law enforcement stands up and say enough is enough I will show police zero respect… none. Where did this happen, by the way?
Meanwhile, is that cop in Ferguson still free? How about the one from Staten Island… or the one in Georgia.
The fucking halfwit from Tennessee with the gun in the other post is misdirecting his ire, but when you lack mental capacity I guess that’s to be expected.
He was fired, arrested, and could face 20 years. Although we are too familiar with how this type of story usually plays out.
Let not go jerking even other off just yet about these dash cams. Let’s first see if it matters or not? Like I said… is this cop in jail awaiting indictment? Was bail set?
They have the cop on video choking out the guy in Staten Island. Open and shut case, right? Let not get our hopes up. I’m sure the fascist white security state can get round a little video evidence. I mean Stasi stop & frisk shit went on for years…. and continues, by the way.
Thanks, Anon. I feel marginally better. Can you send me some info (link) so I can confirm. Reading it will help assuage my fury right now.
No worries. I found some articles. South Carolina…
We need deep, deep psychological evaluations for potential and current police officers. Obviously a lot of them have become cowardly bullies/murderers. Every one of these videos show the cops shooting within seconds of arriving – in addition, once most of these videos are released we discover the police have lied about what happened. The cops are obviously terrified of the community.
That video shows that the odds of that man being shot were close to 100%. The officer instructs him to get his license and when the guy (who the cop later calls “brother” WTF???) does what the cop says the cop starts shooting.
Notice also how the cop lies about what the man was doing. He said the guy “dove headfirst back into his car” which is a LIE. And when asked why he pulled the guy over? Seat belt violation. Yeah, right.
Yesterday, Jason put up a post about about the armed man strolling about near a school. Funny how he wasn’t shot. Yet we have the poor guy in Walmart – walking around with one of their products in a flippin’ open carry state – being gunned down. Oh yeah, the official story surrounding that case turned out not to be true. Or the guy a week after Mike Brown was killed who the police claimed came after them with a knife held in an overhand position… whoops! That wasn’t true either. Or the video of the construction workers who witnessed Mike Brown’s killing and yelled that Mike Brown’s hands were in the air – which backed up every eye witnesses testimony. More lying. And lets not forget the guy the police searched 3 times before cuffing his hands behind his back and putting him in the police car. That guy ended up shot. The police story – the guy had a gun (which they didn’t find during their searches) and shot himself in the back. Only… whoops, the guy, whose hands were cuffed behind his back, was actually shot in the chest.
Our police need more training and many of them need to be fired – some need to go to jail.
As a retired police officer these guys are not cops they are scared little cowardly gun nuts who are a disgrace to the heros who wear the bage
As a staunch cop-hater from way back, I will say that I appreciate the above comment from TT. It’s unfortunate that her/his perspective doesn’t seemed widely shared amongst most of her/his colleagues. Not to say all police are violent cowards, but most seem to figure a way to defend the behaviour. I am glad to see your candour.
Nearly 1,000 people a year are shot and killed by cops. There are no really firm numbers on it though because the info isn’t tracked or reported by the FBI.
Of the 1,000 estimated by researchers, around 400 or so killings turn up on the FBI’s annual “justifiable homicides” report. Great system.
It is a great system. Akin to the system that keeps the North Korean dictator in power and the Iranian liberals in check, &c…

If the guy had just been white, there probably would have been a nice long conversation instead…. what’s wrong with blacks today, don’t they know they should be white so mistakes like this would not occur?
Shooting the wrong person is not their only problem. Think domestic violence in the NFL is staggering?

Of course, cops who abuse their spouses end up in jail because the “good apples” never fail to police their own. Wait … what?

In addition to training, jail or termination, police routinely should be tested for steroids.
“As a retired police officer these guys are not cops they are scared little cowardly gun nuts who are a disgrace to the heros who wear the bage”
The problem, TT is, they ARE cops. Gun totin’ badge wearing cops who are granted all the powers and authority that comes with that job. You are right that they are a disgrace, but it cant be denied that a growing number of (or perhaps it is just finally coming to light) police are conducting themselves this way.
Our recidivism rate is 70-80% depending on the source, so police typically have to deal with the same people on a regular basis. Add onto that the fact that police presence is heavier in low income areas (where you place police you are guaranteed to find crime) and it becomes easy to see that officers are susceptible to grouping everyone together. The underlying cause is poor policy dealing with our justice system at the state level which leads to high recidivism.
Whatever happened to warning shots? I heard 3 or 4 shots. Its a miracle the young man wasn’t killed. I hope he wasn’t permanently maimed. Scary stuff.

I normally support the Police, but after watching this video several times. I support the victim. The officer placed himself in a dangerous position and there was a major break down in communication between both parties. But the officer was wrong and should face the consequences of his actions. Hopefully the young man will make a full recovery.
