Police Behaving Badly

[Bromontana]

Chicago cops gun down a black kid for a stolen car worth $15k.

- at least a half dozen patrol units involved
- shoot their own cruiser
- empty clip at the fleeing car
- claim the kid shot at them
- shoot him in the back
- unarmed

5 shots at the kid after he fled the car unarmed were from a cop that thought perps were shooting at him. It was the other police unit violating policy and shooting in the direction of officer B that led him to believe perp was armed. But even then, he shot the fucking unarmed kid in the back up to 5x.

Cacophony of idiocy

That all could have been avoided.

I don't know, this looks like O'neil really brought this upon himself. Shooting at a fleeing car may not be the smartest thing to do but looking at the video I can see getting caught in the heat of this moment. Unless I see something different, I'm with the cops on this one.

U always with the cops u

U ever been to Chicago? If u white you can literally do a anything on the streets. Smoke bud, throw glass bottles. Go 60 in a 30, drink on the streets, fI get on the streets, rip off cabbies, shoot fireworks at cabbies, pour beer into peoples cars, drink all night,

[digitaldeath]

If u black the police jam you up for anything

Well that changes things up. What a mess.

I like the part at 1:40 where the black cop jumps the gate while the fat out of shape white cop can't. Also the "gimme 5" at 4:32.
And all the shooting in a residential neighborhood over a stolen car.
Heat of the moment? Aren't cops supposed to be trained to not get caught up in the heat of the moment.
(And if that is how cops, how ever badly trained, deal with an emergency, can you imagine the shitshows when all those good guys with guns trying to take out the bad guy with the gun start taking out each other?)
I don't see how you can possibly say the cops were justified based on this video, unless you believe in street justice and the death sentence for theft. Even the police superintendent thinks the cops done wrong. But I guess you know more than him.

[FLS]

The heat of the moment I was referring to is from 1:14 to 1:19 in the video. I thought thats when the kid got shot up. I didnt realize that he was shot up during the foot chase, hence my comment about changes things up.

If it's an argument you are looking for, that would be in room 12A, down the hall.

Is discharging a weapon in the direction of your partner a wise or even legal means of using force?

According to what I've read it's very much frowned upon. The whole fratricide thing.

[Cono Este]

Well, they got the jag back, just not in one piece.

Whats the fucking point of it all?

Cancer surgeon not sorry for clipping cop with car

As she strolled out of court, Wellner said she regretted stopping in the Midtown crosswalk: “I’m remorseful for that, that’s all I did.”

Wellner allegedly got into trouble when cops tried to give her a summons for blocking the walkway with her car on West 55th Street between Eighth and Ninth avenues.

“I’m a doctor,” she sniffed to police, wearing her green scrubs. “I have patients that are dying. I have to go. I’m the hero, the cops are not. I don’t accept the summons.”

She then ramped up her tirade, allegedly hurling homophobic slurs at the officers.

I got away with running over a parking lot barricade with my truck because the hospital chaplain's Ford Falcon was stalled in the entrance. (The chaplain was on his way to give last rites to the guy I was coming to operate on. GSW to the iliac artery and vein. The last rites turned out not to be necessary. The chaplain got me out of trouble.)
My Dad was an internist. He had a caduceus on his license plate that was supposed to keep him from getting tickets. I have no idea if it worked. My kid gave me an AF Dad window sticker for my car--he thought that might save me a ticket; I haven't gotten one since but I doubt it's the sticker--more the fact that I drive like the old man I am.
Michael DeBakey comes to work in the new Ferrari some sheik gave him, without his parking sticker which was on his old car. The attendant at the doctor's lot refuses to raise the bar and let him in. DeBakey says "Boy, do you know who ah am?" Parking lot guy says "I don't care if you're Denton Fucking Cooley, your aren't getting in." DeBakey rams through the gate. (DeBakey and Cooley hated each other. Didn't speak despite the fact they worked in the same OR.)
The arm at the entrance to my hospital's doctors' parking lot got broken regularly. People also had their cars sideswiped with no note left.
These are the people whose hands you put your life in.

Primacy over law and accountability breeds discord, no matter the line of business. Sure, doctors do heroic things. They get paid accordingly.

Point here is to illustrate that evasion does not equate to trying to kill a cop. Also doesn't warrant deadly force.

[twodogs]

Love how the cops always ask each other if they are alright after arresting a 120 pound school teacher or as a young man lays dying in handcuffs. Pussies.

[Bobby Stainless]

The doctor sounds like a real peach.

Take the ticket, and quit being a fucking cunt.

Or be a fucking cunt and get arrested. It's a damn good thing she was white.

In the course of said interview, Kelly characterized the protests as “ridiculous” and “myopic.” Kelly assured listeners that, “If there’s one group that’s concerned about black lives more than any other group it clearly is the police department, not only in New York City but really throughout America.”

Don't fool yourself, you can do everything right and still become a victim of police violence.

Where was the violence you speak of?
All I saw was severe racism, they pulled them over for being white!
WHITE LIVES MATTER!!!!!.....

Where was the violence you speak of?

Cops had 3 guns pointed at the old guy. That counts as a violent act. Why did they draw their weapons ?

[2FUNKY]

vi·o·lence
ˈvī(ə)ləns/
noun
behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.

Pointing a gun is not violence. They drew the guns due to a suspicion of a stolen vehicle due to the false report of the license plate.

Cops were stupid. Hope the white folk win their lawsuit.

[Harry]

Pointing a gun is not violence.

So why is it considered Assault when a civilian does it ?

[2FUNKY]

Because double standard.

that was what I was thinking.
