A man who held a cellphone out of his garage door to see what was happening during a police standoff in Rancho Cordova was shot and injured by Sacramento sheriff's deputies.

This is enough. If they don’t like being filmed, try to pass a constitutional law making it illegal. So far, the courts have said citizens have the people have the right of free speech to film gov. employees as they do their jobs.
All this bullying from crooked cops needs a prison sentence attached to it. It’s the only way to stop the police bullies acting out among the honorable police officers who are committed to the public and our constitutional rights. These are the police officers who don’t care about videos because they are people who do the right thing.
Most of the cops I have run into have treated me with the utmost professionalism (mostly traffic stops).
I see an uptick in cop violence having two causes: genuinely bad people on the force, and lousy orders and training from above that make cops more likely to violate people’s rights.
There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees . . .
LOL!!! {^)
Tell you what my Samsung might have crooned its last chorus.
I do hate me some Tim Cooock though. Homo facistia.
Pretty sure the LAPD continues to refuse to release the names of the officers involved in that shooting, and exactly none were charged with a crime (nor publicly disciplined in any manner...) I’ve only seen one picture of the house that is the backstop for that shooting, and bet the homeowners are very very glad that they were not home when the LAPD opened fire.
He shouldn’t been a lookie lou.
Besides, he’s probably done some illegal stuff before. It just finally bit him.
Prayers for the cops that risk their lives everyday to keep us safe.
</bootlicking >
And some of them actually wonder why they’re called “pigs” ! /s;)
I'd be a little skeptical about that part of the story, too. People who can afford $10k-$15K legal machine guns rarely live in houses with one-car garages or shoot their neighbor's dog.
Makes sense to me, but then my psychiatrist says I'm not making progress as fast as I should be.
I am stunned by what you wrote. No subject for your sentence about being motivated to gun cops down in the streets? Are you implying you will do this or that you support such action? Unbelievable.
With cops being targeted and ambushed, do you think they won’t be on edge? Somebody sticks his arm out the door holding a metal object. I suppose you would prefer cops take a bullet just in case its not a real threat to their safety.
All the comments on this thread make me think I’ve wandered into a Black Lives Matter chat room.
It had, like Dorner’s truck, 4 wheels and a steering wheel. This was a close enough match for them.
I live a few blocks from this nut. I will be skeptical of any thing you post. He had returned from his Dr with end stage cancer. The neighbors think it was a modified or broken AK 47 appearing rifle. The dog was his. The gas was the house with the holes. The weapon is at the lab for a report. The cops were late but everyone in the area are happy with it all.
That is one article everyone should read. It puts a lot of things into perspective. This guy should be prosecuted, but he is a hero to cops. Another sad comment on the country.
You can’t read can you. I said “bad apples”. Plus these incidents are gifts for the propaganda machines of the left, the communist far left and the Muslims coming here from the ME to recruit violent black activists.
I have been advocating self reform of how police departments do business here for years.
Police departments are violent trigger happy and trained to be that way. This is an institutional problem. They, the Police are running out of friends. We the communities that hire and pay for Police deserve better. We need Police and Police need us. The Police need to remember they are us.
“Police departments are violent trigger happy and trained to be that way.”
That is blatantly false. Cops are trained to use as much force as necessary to control a situation. Showing up with more than they need is a simple way to get perps to comply. No police force wants to be equally matched with the criminals. That makes no sense and risks having a situation get out of control, which means somebody is more likely to get hurt.
As for not being able to read, I believe I lifted much of your comment word for word.
It always amazes me when people bring up “bad apples” as if the police force were drawn from some group of perfect people who do not exist. Cops are human, they make mistakes. Considering there are thousands of police, sheriffs, etc. on the job 24/7, 365, the number of incidents of questionable use of force are remarkably small.
With cops being targeted and ambushed...
Ambushed? How many? When?
I guess I missed this...
You just wanna fight. No thanks
