Jesus. It sounds like Robocop's gun.

Yes.

Also convenient how the only car recording where he fell decided to turn to block the street.

are you fucking kidding me? and no dash cam of the cop car pulling up with a clear view of where the struggle was...

In the McDonald killing, out of 9 cars responding, only 5 had cameras (the others either didn't or they were not working). And of those 5 cameras, none had sound.

One could say that 'blah, blah, equipment upkeep, underfunded department, things break, etc'...but then considering how -all- the cops there blatantly lied on their police reports about what actually happened, I have to wonder if there's some evidence tampering going on and tapes 'accidentally' getting erased.

If cops treated correcting "broken" cameras with half the urgency they do broken tail lights...

The official went on to say, "Also, the skin of the back is some of the thickest skin on the human body, other than the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. The officers were actually showing consideration for Mr. Johnson's well-being when they chose to target that area."

you're so original

damn son

i fuck dudes, so how is it possible that you are more of a faggot than me, jimmy?

Bad cops shouldn't be protected and allowed to keep their jobs because they taint the many great cops out there.

I've done some law enforcement training and these cases show either a huge difference in our training, or these jerks just throw the use of force continuum out the window. The problem is in how easy they can justify lethal force. The victim doesn't even need a weapon, the cop just needs to believe one was there, or that he felt threatened.

I don't think any jury could buy him saying he saw a weapon, since he literally gets out of the car, sees the guys back and opens fire.

What oddeye said.

The thick blue line defending the bad cops makes the good cops look pretty damn bad, that's just one more reason why it needs to be broken down.
