There was a standoff next door.
The man pulled out a cellphone and began to FILM.
The cops then shot the man filming.
Cops do NOT like people generating evidence that could later interfere with their made-up stories.
Cops see two types of citizens; those they’ve already arrested and those they will later arrest.
EXCUSE COMPENDIUM - Have any more for my growing list?
We have a tough, dangerous job.
Our brother cop did not get up that morning with the goal of becoming involved in an officer-involved shooting.
The dog neednt be large to have a lethal bite good shoot.
If youre REALLY not up to no good you wont mind me taking a look, right?
What, are you a hippy..?
Still mad about that ticket, 10 years ago..?
Were just doing our jobs.
Police SOPs are well-established the police violated the rights of no one.
The key thing is for us to go home safely at the end of the shift.
Next time you have an emergency, just call the ACLU.
We have to make split second decisions youre being unfair.
Dont paint us all with the same broad brush.
I dont think you understand just how highly we are trained.
Were the thin blue line, what, ya want anarchy..?
The investigation showed the police followed department procedure.
You must just be a cop hater.
Ever been a cop? Then you’re unqualified to judge us —walk a mile in our moccasins.
It’s cops vs. the bad guys, and if you’re not for us, you’re AGAINST us.
You’re asking about something that’s the subject of an ongoing investigation —no comment.
We can’t comment on topics of ongoing investigations.
Wireless Target Transmitter?
That looks like a new vehicle the cops shot up. I’d be very ticked.
Just unbelievable! So this is how they try to cover up attempted murder. Tell the innocent homeowner whom they have just tried to kill that they are just lucky that they are not being charged! Charged with what? I hope these folks sue the a$$ off of the Sacto Sheriff's Office.
Look at that Cartman sized lookin’ Storm Trooper donut muncher at the passenger side!
“My point here is things will only get worse when the cops dont consider the public one of their own....”
What? The majority of cops today already consider everyone who isn’t a cop as “the enemy.” Make these would be murderers pay dearly!
Droid, here... ;)
Druid, you mean.
I thought that, but wouldn’t have posted it. I think you are correct.
Lol...yeah, I wish!
He’s hoping his partner busts a cap in the driver so he can swipe the munchies in the passenger seat.
Machine gun? Clips?
I highly doubt it was a “machine gun”. Probably not even full auto.
Idiot cops.
I’m not anti cop, but after they killed the former Marine in Arizona (mine worker); my view has changed.
Decimate, the word for dealing with swat team ‘accidents’.
historical
kill one in every ten of (a group of soldiers or others) as a punishment for the whole group.
This didn’t get enough attention. If half of this is true, this guy has blood on his hands.
Not only does he teach them to be ... uh ... aggressive with firearms. He then is the “expert” they use to testify that they were only following their training after they do something horrible.
I wonder how many honest cops, grand juries, and prosecutors have been corrupted because they trusted this lunatic.
Good Shoot!
Whatever happened to “Drop your weapon! Hands in the air!”? Or do they only do that on TV?
i think this is what’s referred to in police circles as... a target of opportunity.
whenever cops get a chance to unholster their weapons and shoot something other than the family cocker spaniel, pray to God you’re not downrange.
After having my iPhone for a year, I find Blackberries to be fair game. :-)
In the old days, a cop would warn bystanders "Nothing to see here...".
Nowadays, the message is "You are not allowed to see what we do.", followed by "Bang bang bang....", "Well, you won't face charges...". No apologies by the cops.
