Trigger happy motherfucking cop kills a man... justified?

[greynotsoold]

There is something funny about that. Why did he make that move on his own when there were obviously other cops tailing the guy? They only do one on one hero shit like that in movies. And did you notice? There were two people in that car, there was a driver, but the cop immediately and deliberately put himself in a spot where he could only see the guy he ended up shooting. He parked his car in such a way, and, when he got out of the car he moved his body in such a way that the driver was out of his line of sight.
Why? Was a gun found on the guy that got killed? Who was the driver? It seems real odd the whole way they abandoned what they usually do and went at him like that.
In 1999 a guy from my neighborhood got killed running from the police- traffic stop, he was on parole and ran. Three blocks from the stop, they trapped him on a roof and shot him down. The justification was that, later, they found a gun in his car three blocks away. I've seen them fire over 100 rounds into a drunk paisa that had run his car up over the curb and got it stuck on a short wrought iron fence. He was gunning the engine, trying to get off but stuck fast and they lit him up.

I don't know enough about police procedure in general or the specific operation to say for sure if what the cop did was by the books or not.

I do know that if a cop points a gun at you and tells you to stop or he'll shoot, and you respond by frantically darting around like you're going for something, you're probably gonna lit up.

I'm not gonna shed tears for this gang banging dummy haha

This foo raped an underage girl? He deserved to die then. Fuck him.

Now ic why the cops had a hard on for him. They had the greenlight on his ass and was content on taking him out. They werent going to cut this dude any slack and were just waiting for him to make a funny move.

Law enforcement in this country is terrible. They kill, assault, kidnap and violate law abiding citizen's rights everyday. You and I kill someone we go to jail. Cops might get fired.

I think many of you are having to much faith in the US Gestapo judgement. I knew a PED dealer who sold to eighty percent of an East Coast city Gestapo department. I'm not saying all cops are on them but a good amount are. They do this but bust people on simple possession charges everyday. Hypocrites. They routinely lie and abuse the Constituion regularly. The Government grants them more and more unreasonable power. Fuck that cop, he should have waited until he saw a weapon. Movement is no cause for death. Fuck cops and stop backing the cocksuckers up. I've been pulled over for traffic violations and the idiots want to search my car. Some young rookie looking to make a name for himself.I didn't let him but he kept asking. At least he didn't make something up to get access, he s stool a prick. They want me to give up my privacy for a traffic violation

Also, at one time they did need to see a weapon prior to shooting someone. They can move the line whenever they want. It's not how this country s. Our rights are greater than their safety. If they don't feel the same they shouldn't have become cops. That killer should be brought up on charges.I don't care what the guys did.

The Yanks are extremely violent people, but what do you expect: the USA is built on theft, fraud, and genocide, for $#!t's sake!!

About 85 Americans get murdered every day all year long.
14,827 murders in 2012 in the USA.
Chicago alone had more dead Americans in 1 year than the American military took casualties in a year in the Iraq/Afghanistan wars combined.
What's wrong with this picture when a single American city has more dead Americans than the American casualties in a war zone? And most of these killers are not caught, the cases go unsolved and thousands of killers currently walk the streets of the USA.


EDIT:
Even the US national anthem is violent, for $#!t's sake!!

Our rights are greater than their safety. If they don't feel the same they shouldn't have become cops.

What line in the constitution gives you the right to resist arrest? What line in the constitution gives you the right to, when a cop points a gun at you and tells you to freeze, frantically go to grab something with impunity?

Being a police officer is a tough, dangerous job. These people are given a certain amount of power to protect citizens from lawbreakers. You're assertion that the cops should wait until the suspect is literally pointing a weapon at them is completely rediculous. There'd be a lot of dead cops if that was the case. I'm not cool with sending police officers on suicide missions because some idiot gangbanger wants to resist arrest and reach for a weapon.

I know people will respond to this with links to (so called) police brutality, negligence, corruption, ect. I'm not saying these don't exist (althought I believe the extent to which these exist are overexaggerated by "anti cop" and "anti authority" people). You're going to get bad seeds in any line of work. Look at politics: the people who dictate our daily lives are crooked as sin.

These incidents are the exception, not the rule. Somebody posted 10-15 links of alleged police wrongdoing on page one. I haven't looked at those and I'm sure a lot of them are disputable, but lets give it the benefit of the doubt and say that all 15 incidents are clear-cut police wrongdoing.

How many tens of thousands of cops are working the streets every day, making countless arrests and busts? And from that, in the history of law enforcement we are provided 15 examples of wrong doing? Do you realize how small of a percentage that is?

On LBC today they were talking about putting cameras on police whilst on duty 24/7.

Good idea as long as the camera doesnt weigh that much to go with all the LOADS of other equipment a policeman wears.

I thought it was for armed police only.

The local bobby has a lot of equipment already, they have the baton and cs gas. Some officers have a taser.
