What you talking about.
There is video of this incident and the woman tried to lets the cops pass and they told her to move. Then when she drove forwards to move they unloaded on her.
If he had enough time to shoot and get out of the way he had enough time to just get out of the way.
American cops are babies. Just look at how the UK cops disarmed a guy with a knife yesterday who stabbed two people.
And let's not forget, THEY WERE NOT FUCKING COPS. ICE are not police no matter what vest they buy from Amazon. They are not police. They are immigration enforcement. Again, not police
You mean when she tried to run over the cop? Have you even watched the videos?
I watched the two videos where she was told to move as she was in the way and offering them to pass. When they told her to move and so she did.
Even if someone’s fleeing isn’t it better to just record their tag and then go arrest them at home rather than just murder them.
American cops are big babies. Always scared and always assume the worst. I’ve seen them shoot People dead who have a knife where we in the UK repeatedly take out knife attackers with just a taser or riot shields. When you’re a hammer everything looks like a nail, when you have a gun you just shoot first. The amount of times they let people bleed out as they’re too soft to approach a downed target 😂.
I've seen videos of US cops shooting people running away, or just casually shooting people in the head like they were at the range.
Don't engage this troll. 3 year account with 4 posts: two when he started 2.8 years ago, and two today. One post mentioned that he preferred the "control" over at Reddit.
4 posts, and we know he loves Reddit and Law Enforcement authority. He's a proud Fascist.
How's that boot taste?
You clearly havent.
Lies
You’ve got a warped view of the world lad if you think murder is a suitable response to someone potentially fleeing.
You do know that your argument has the same merit against the actual Gestapo, do you? Do you also blame Gestapo's political victims for voicing dissent publicly when everyone knew you'd end up in a KZ for it?
Any user walking like a slaver, talking like a slaver, or a slaver sympathizer should be IP block banned.
If you're willing to use your car as a weapon to kill someone, don't be surprised by the consequences.
Exactly, until it happens someone you know personally it's not a problem.
This is why trump can do whatever he whants with americans, and they're proud of it.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Bootlicker.
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
He's just a troll, desperate for attention.
Best response is to block and move on
Could've asked the same question.
Law Enforcement is already finding out that they can't fuck with American citizens. They exist at OUR pleasure, not the other way around. We know that, but we are polite enough to not dwell on it, and just live our lives.
But interrupt that flow of society, and it will not go well for them. They are BADLY outnumbered.
Huh? How? Where?
Seems like they pretty much can go around murdering American citizens with impunity. Where is the finding out?
The ubiquity of video cameras mean that police abuses are coming to light constantly, and bad cops are being held accountable for the first time. Here's a recent video of two NYC detectives brutally beating a guy in a bodega, in public, on front of witnesses, in front of cameras.
It used to be that the public would automatically take the side of Law Enforcement, but now it is exactly the opposite. In fact, now people WANT to catch cops doing bad stuff so they get a valuable viral video.
These guys - detectives, so they are experienced trained veteran caps - were confident that they could beat this totally innocent victim of mistaken identity (so the cops were incompetent, too, not just violent), with no consequences at all, but they've been fired. If there hadn't been a camera, if the video hadn't been released, these cops would have totally gotten away with it, but the public is now monitoring every public Law Enforcement incident, and acting on the abuses they record.
The environment for cops has turned much more hostile, and it's getting even hotter. Just because people aren't shooting at cops (yet) doesn't mean that cops aren't feeling the heat. Getting outed in the international media as a violent scumbag for beating and killing innocent people, and getting fired for it (due to the undeniable video evidence), means your FAMILY is going to have to deal with YOUR Tomfoolery at school, work, church, the grocery store, the salon, friends, etc. Do you think your kids' friends are going to be allowed to come over to play? Mine wouldn't be.
Think of that arrogant, racist, violent ape, when he realizes that the brutal, violent career he loves has come to an end, and he's probably going to have to take a job at Home Depot, or worse, in the guard shack at a gated community for rich assholes, where he will make minimum wage, and he won't be allowed to beat up the residents for Fun & Dopamine, and whatever else he can steal from them. And on top of that, his family hates him. There are worse things than death.
Just because they aren't as bad as they could be, we should just allow them to continue being increasingly abusive?
Here's an example of two veteran, trained, experienced NYC detectives handling a suspect in their own special "civilized" way, in public, in front of cameras, confident nothing will happen to them.
Oh, BTW, they had the wrong guy. He's now suing them for $100 million, for their "civilized" behavior, so something did happen to them, they got fired. THEY were the ones who FAFO'd.
Cops, civilized? Get the fuck out of here with that shit. After MAGA, law enforcement is easily the most destabilizing, uncivilized entity in America. American cops are a large portion of the problem.
