Any way you slice it, it's a crime.
Yet it's a public service. The only ones against that policy are the gang members themselves.

the ratio of bad officers doing all manner of bad things has skyrocketed over the last 20 years.
US population has also increased 50 million in the last 20 years, 20% increase, meaning 20% more sociopaths as well. Guess where they all want to end up? Not the police's fault there are sociopaths. It is their job to keep them off the force though.

Being a criminal is not considered a public service.

Wrong.

The law is against it. By police recklessly if not wantonly putting someone in harm's way goes beyond breaking their vow to uphold the law.

It in fact makes them far worse than the gang member in question.

You are obviously a worthless person and think it's OK for police to break the law whenever it suits them and pleases you.

I can't wait for the day you wind up on the wrong side of an officers idea of how you should be treated.

I'll just point and laugh.

I find your writings at time offensive. Why do you force others to read them.

Damn. I intentionally dumb things down too.

How about I post some pretty pictures for you to look at so you won't have to read my spot on pontifications ?

That's impossible though.

The only "fine job" Police due is to issue summons to create a fine based revenue stream.

All Police swear an oath to enforce the laws etc. Not all laws are just, therefore Police swear an oath to use force to perpetuate injustice.

Using offensive force to perpetuate injustice isn't magically okay just because it is part of a job description. If you or I used offensive force to perpetuate injustice, we should be viewed as criminals, whether our acts were legal or not.

keeps the citizenry safe from predation by those who are *already* breaking the law. FTFY

People on the streets know people who have been killed by gang violence, by drive by shootings, hit by stray bullets. I have no sympathy for those causing pain to the people that want to work and live the good life. I can't believe you don't see the difference.

Your position: Gang members causing crime and hurt for the general populace mist be protected against those charged with the protection of the general populace. That some gang members get killed by police is worse than some citizens getting killed by gang members.

My position: The people charged with protecting the general populace must be helped, even if it means some gang members 'rights' were stepped on. It is better that some gang members get killed by police than gangs run roughshod over our communities and kill our families.

The problem, you idiot, is that they're killing unarmed people whose worst offense was being a 12 year old black kid playing GI Joe in the park with a water gun or a black man that had a burned out tail light, or a black man that was 3 months behind child support.

But do continue supporting criminals.

Maybe they should not have the person who just had an adrenaline spike entering a potentially dangerous situation making the call?

There is no reason I can think of that they can not have their body cams wired to send a signal back to home base where they can have someone instantly observe and help the cop out, that way he can watch his back and follow orders safely?

Collateral damage and natural selection at work. It's not like the cops just rolled up and shot them, circumstances led to the shooting and probably both parties are in the wrong like we saw with the 2nd vid in the OP.

It's not like the criminals care about harming people if they get in the way re drive bys and stray bullets.

I like how you put all the blame on the cops, it's not like there isn't an inner city gun problem, a gang culture problem, like these cops are not scared for their lives trying to do a job they think is worth it. Black youth are shooting each other at rates not seen outside of war zones, rappers are putting out platinum albums about killing cops.. common "bullets in your dome, all you cowards dying" this is popular music and it directs culture. Why do you think the cops are trigger happy again, because they're bad people by definition, or because they have good cause to be?

How many cops jizz on your face per day, roughly?

Laws are meant to keep people free. I wonder if I was in my yard how it would feel to have this happen. I've been on jobs with saw horses, table saw, wearing a tool belt and the whole bit all set up working and had multiple police cars pull up jump out and point guns at me while cutting lumber. One time I was asked to empty my pockets, both times I had to show ID and they ran it through the system. I don't think there was any question whether we were working, we certainly don't look shady, no one was prying a door or window open. My name is on the building permit posted in plain view. These cops were like gangsters. They knew they fucked up and kept looking for anything to bust us over. In nice neighborhoods. Too much abuse of power far too common and it goes unpunished far too often.

You’re a dick.
I'm ok with being a dick if it means my streets are safe. How many drive bys in your area? We had one last week. Before here I lived a few blocks from jane and finch, there was pretty much a shooting every week during the summer. That this is happening means the cops are not given enough leeway (legally) in some cases.

To be clear, I support transparency and accountability for the police (when they perform clearly illegal actions like in the 1st video), but they need freedom to do their jobs too.

edit also a realist.

Really?
How about those economic laws that had me arrested a decade ago for a little weed and a pipe.
Yet now that my corrupt states' ass is broke, it's now legal; cuz' they are out of things to tax.
Economic laws are designed for 1 purpose, to make millionaires into billionaires; while screwing the majority.
Small businesses are so over-regulated in the U.S., owners are starting them up in foreign countries.
And relocating there, apparently they don't feel all that "Free" in the land of the free.
We need less government, not more legislation designed to keep attorneys busy and create yet more government jobs with their bloated pensions.
End rant.:lol:

You’re less of a realist and more of a deranged, insane, delusional conspiracy theorist

And you suck tons of cop dick

Economic laws? Paraphernalia and possession charges? There is a point in here. Something why ceo's of the companies who exploited illegals weren't arrested. I'd like to see all those board members thrown in prison but those laws they broke won't be applied. I think we have a serious lack of equal application of the law.

That's not the point.

There are plenty of fine police officers doing a fine job.

The problem is that the ratio of bad officers doing all manner of bad things has skyrocketed over the last 20 years.

Oddly, that's the same amount of time most of them were in the military beating Afghans and Iraqis senseless with complete immunity.

There used to be a story of bad police conduct once in a while. Now, it's nearly every day.

In fact, more unarmed black men were killed by police the last 3 years than soldiers in combat zones in that same time period.

It's gotten completely out of hand.
This is a classic sign of policing in an imperialistic regime. Gotta keep order at home, so why not use the same soldiers and tactics used against foreign countries?
