What a goddamn shame. For having a broken down car in the road. Christ almighty.

A white female officer did this?

She's already walking.

America could give a fuck about the execution of unarmed black men if it means prosecuting any of their boys in blue, never mind a female officer.

Correct. Nothing will happen to her, and that's a travesty.

Yep. Was just speaking to a friend who said the same thing.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

His arms were raised? Obviously the female officer was worried someone off camera hiding in the bushes was going to toss him a gun.

 

[HariKari]

DOJ should throw the book at her. What a crock of shit. They clearly had the situation under control and were in no real danger.

 

[Verelios]

I want to see cops face prison time for fabricating stories and falsifying reports. They need to be held to the highest of ethical and moral standards, and punishments in cases like these should be severe - as they would be for a normal citizen.

Impossible, police union will get every officer to protest, peaceful or not. And the sad part is, America is more willing to see another Black Man die than, every Black man die, before they go to war with the PU.

 

[Htown]

she will never see the inside of a cell

I'd be shocked if there was an indictment

 

[Spoiled Milk]

That's MURDER.

 

[Forerunner]

So he had his hands in the air. They tased him and then she shot him. You can't even make this shit up, it's just sad at this point.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Subhuman scum, and not just the lady that pulled the trigger. The rats that watch a man die rather than try to help.

Fucking cunts

 

[Davidion]

Multiple cops with guns drawn flanking one black guy with his hands up... How are these things anything but executions at this point?

Edit: I missed them slowly backing away from him after the shooting and...what the hell?

 

[Gotdatmoney]

It'll be interesting to see what bullshit the jury swallows when they let her walk. Also, fuck that helicopter driver. You fucking low life piece of shit. "He looks like a bad dude", for what? Being black and having a break down. Fuck outta here.

Look at the size of him?.

/end.

 

[CitizenVectron]

Honestly, I think this is the most cut and dry case of murder so far. It could only have been an accident - there's no way they intended to pull the trigger

Not to nitpick, but in that case it would be manslaughter, as there was no intent to kill.

"i feared for my lifehe looked like a demon! Looked like the hulk" its insane they can pull that out of a hat like a get ouy of jail free card.

Their is some hope Tulsa did convict that old rich guy they let play cop who shot an unarmed black man for second degree manslaughter a couple of years ago so maybe just maybe the justice system might actually work in this case but I have no faith in it actually working.

Like I said. It will be interesting when she gets off how they do it.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

How does our mere presence instill so much fear that makes someone believe that their life is in danger?

Have you looked in the mirror lately? I did just yesterday and scared myself and started thinking about where my gun was. Then I was like, "oh, it's just me! Whew. :^)"

IIRC, he wasn't a real cop. Easy to throw him under the bus. Harder to throw a FOP member under that same bus.

 

[commedieu]

I know you are exaggerating here but this scares me even more than the action of the officers in this incident.

One of the most disturbing killings yet

 

[Derwind]

So stalled car on the highway while black gets put on the list

Can I get a collectors copy and personal copy of this list? I think at this point it's required reading material.

 

[george_us]

But NFL players refuse to stand for the flag!

Let's keep an eye on the real issues here!

 

[arevin01]

Wait, what the fuck.

The dude's car was fucking stalled in the middle of the road and cops approached him with hostility?

Are you fucking serious?

The judicial system is racist and corrupt so I don't expect it to even reach a court.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Murder. This is Murder

Agreed. I used to think it was silly when people labeled our police force as a gang, but I think I've changed my mind in the last few months.

 

[Corronchilejano]

That situation has always stuck with me.

A few years ago in NY a black friend of mine and I (latino) went to a cop to ask him for directions, and we both saw him put his hand in his sidearm as we approached, looking at us. This was near times square, middle of the day.

I've never seen a police officer do the same anywhere else. I've never approached a single cop in the US again.

Police officers whose first reaction when seeing people is that they're going to pull a gun on them no matter how unlikely the situation aren't fit for the force and should retire and find a new profession that doesn't risk their prejudice resulting in the loss of life.

It's sad that it took this post for me to realize that's not normal. I'm just so use to it.

What did you expect? You matched the description. You all match the description.

He was certainly no angel.

Im not trying to hear anymore bullshit ass statements from Obama talking bout how "99% of officers do their job professionally" fuck outta here with that. If its just a "few bad apples" why does every cop union in America condone & defend this bullshit?

 

[7DollarHagane]

This doesn't even make any sense. Why? you're on camera from multiple angles, the suspect is complying.

At the very bare least you're losing your job, or maybe you'll be the first cop to be actually convicted for murder on the job. Why do this?

it's possible - maybe even likely - but I wouldn't put money down on it

 

[Rumblebones]

Over/under 5% this officer will be successfully prosecuted.

I say under.

 

[J2d]

im usually against the death penalty but please sentence the the one who shot to death, send a fucking message, it's for the greater good at this point.

These keep hitting closer to home. Just makes me not want to go out anymore. Fucking insane.

If the fucks involved with Freddie Grey got off scot-free...

Shelby may lose her job, but her serving prison time (i.e. successfully prosecuted for 2nd degree murder)? Under.

Years ago my parents used to ask me, "When are you gonna come back to work in the states?"

Nowadays my cousins, nieces and nephews are asking me, "How can I get a job outside the US like you?"

Any Black person that talked greasy about Colin Kaepernick's protest needs to get ran the fuck on outta here & thoroughly dismissed by the whole Black community. Fuck a Jason Whitlock especially, disgusting plantation slave.

She fucked up. Thats the only reason. She fucked up and pulled the trigger for absolutely no reason. If she doesn't go to jail, there is no justice in the world.
