Heck we’ve seen this kinda stuff on cops and they celebrate it. Whether its the cop hitting the guy running or the cop hitting the motorcycle.

Only difference is these guys are black so they get fed charges filed against the cops.

The difference here would be that the dashboard camera has been acknowledged to be “working” and that the tape was not “lost”.

Yes, and African-American had to be mentioned in the very first sentence.

Hiring needs to be restricted to those who’ve been through hard initial training for Army or Marine combat specialties, IMO. Such training weeds out most of the criminals.

I agree 100,000,000%. This stuff didn’t happen back when military experience was considered a prerequisite to being a cop. We have too many idiots now who are power-tripping, roid-raging retards who are fulfilling some latent homo-erotic power-trip fantasy rather than serving the public for the betterment of their country and community, and are utterly lacking in discipline, morals, common decency, a regard for the constitution, and respect for the law they’re sworn to enforce. We need folks who’s interest is in serving the public, protecting our rights, and putting thugs behind bars.
