Good! A citizen standing on the street in front of his store shouldn't have to worry about the police murdering him in broad daylight in front of his family and the whole neighborhood.

nothing will stop the abuse by the police till they PERSONALLY have to pay or face the consequences. They are protected by the state and their unions to kill, maim, destroy and otherwise act like douche bags because NO MONEY COMES OUT OF THEIR POCKETS or the don't face jail time.
We had cops in San Antonio beat the crap out of someone and the chief of police said essentially oops my guys got the wrong guy but I can see how.

If I remember this correctly, I think he was selling loose ciggies.
Is this a reason to lose your life?
In almost every instance when a murder by cop occurs, the pigs escalate the situation.
Total, immediate, compliance or die.
If any Freeper knows any of the doosh cops involved, you should shun them.

Bad as it is, this is nothing. Just wait until obama’s Brownshirts come out in full force.
With them there won't be any investigation, suspension without pay, or any due process. They'll be carrying whatever military grade weapon they feel like and they won't spare the ammo.

So basically the cops killed him for the possible offense of selling single cigarettes.

They can overlook rape or murder, but taxes go right to the bottom line.

Selling untaxed cigarettes shouldn’t be a capital crime.

I’m always against State brutality against its citizens —
But (welcome to The War on Drugs nicotine lovers) in the end maybe it saved lives.

"They can overlook rape or murder, but taxes go right to the bottom line." Do anything and everything to fund the underfunded union pensions!!! Boy, you nailed the impetus. The psychology (or psychopathy) is a whole 'nother issue!

To: Morgana
Granted the victim/perp was in very bad health and that probably contributed greatly to his death, but the bottom line is—
“Chokeholds are a violation of department policy”
You knowingly violate a safety policy and it ends in the death of a very nonserious criminal you’re going to get some time for that.

he should have been an illegal immigrant, then Obama would have made the cops give him free cable and all you can eat buffets.

Commit a homicide and see where pleading that your victim was out of shape gets you. The judge will patiently explain what irrelevant means.
