Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
AND another officer backed up that statement.
ooooh, perjury charges. Please please perjury charges. If he didn't lie on the stand, at least arrest him for impeding an investigation or something. That Thin Blue Line is supposed to be between the law-abiding citizenry and dangerous criminals, not between citizens and other police. Time to redraw that line.
What I don't understand is when police became so paranoid. They didn't used to be, I swear. Would this person have been dragging him if he had just stepped away from the car? If someone gets dragged because they persist in doing something stupid to arrest someone so dangerous he doesn't have a front license plate, I say his injuries are on him.
He told the driver to take his seatbelt off and then literally shot him in the head 2 seconds later.
Jesus.
Another officer backed him up? I hope he gets charged, too. That's unconscionable.
I can't help but think that the police wants there to be a riot, and is helping to incite one.
Yeah, I think that's pretty much what happened here in Bmore.
think he's spinning the indictment hard to place all blame on this one rogue cop to prevent rioting. Which I think is actually the truth, in this case, but I have no faith in the fundamental honesty of Deters. What's expedient just happened to be true, this time.
Yeah, that is the easy way out of actually looking at the way police are hired and trained and supervised. ugh.

Seriously.
I mean how hard to throw away the sandwich AT CAMP?!?! dumbass.
not that he should be throwing away food.
What I'm saying.

That does appear to be the pattern with these things. Good on the prosecutor though.

If he's being so obvious about it, maybe he wanted you to find them?

Right? It's like anyone not in uniform (but especially POC) is viewed as a potential enemy combatant. I feel like current training methods are instilling fear instead of training them to control their fear in tense situations so they can make reasonable decisions.
That is something they have been actively working on in Richmond, CA which used to have terrible relations between police and residents and is so much better now. I don't know if the coverage of the "Richmond miracle" have been nation-wide, but I've heard a lot about it here. There are proven methods of improvement, if cities/police forces will, well, admit they need to improve. And do the work.
When I looked at that shot-by-cops map, Richmond had 0.
Stopping military gear manufacturers from *giving* body armor and artillery to civic police departments (in order to keep their production levels up for tax reasons) would also help. If you don't have tanks and body armor, you're not going to be so eager to provoke or escalate circumstances where you can use them. Conversely, having them on hand sort of makes it inevitable you'll egg a situation on so that you will have a chance to use the new toys. Because wow, video game, and tough macho!
