I also wonder how his partner feels about all this. I am imagining how this played out, and I can’t see any scenario where Noor’s gun was not pretty much right next to his partner’s right ear.
Is his ear still ringing, or has it recovered full use yet?
It’s like an episode of fucking Archer.
The footage also captures two other officers watching him. The officer who planted the drugs is suspended while the others are merely reassigned to other duties pending investigation. I can’t see how a culture of corruption can be changed when those who knowingly turn a blind eye are not punished.
NRA TV hosts say that BLM success means white families get tortured and killed:
It ought to be as automatic as flight data and cockpit voice recorders on commercial aircraft.
NRA has made the long, slow creep from being a once-respectable lobby for gun enthusiasts to a right wing extremist group
Is it just me or does that guy kind of looks like Tim Curry in Legend: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/84/1e/f3/841ef307e71c8c4d7ee2d50e999ad81a--legend-quotes-tim-curry.jpg
Not trying to imply anything. 
I think it’s the prominent jaw. And I also just watched the original cut of the movie (which kinda sucks).
I thought I heard about police, somewhere, having cameras on their guns that autocratically turn on when the gun is drawn.
We need some type of automation like that too.
My underline.
Does a gun really need an iron fist?
If that video is what it appears to be, that cop needs to be locked up, the other two fired (at least) and every case the planter worked on dismissed. WTF? How in the world could someone think that locking up some drug dealer is important enough to risk your freedom? If the drug dealer gets away, who cares? He’ll be back tomorrow.
He thought he’d get away with it.
We’ll see, he was probably right. Just catching cops on video breaking laws, planting evidence, or even killing people in cold blood is not enough to get them into any trouble.
This is the entire point of this thread, cops are demonstrating to the public that they are not to be trusted. This sucks for any good cops out there, but if you’re a good cop, then you need to turn in the bad.
In the video from January 2017, officer Richard Pinheiro is seen planting a plastic bag of pills amongst trash in an alley.
The footage is from a January drug arrest. It shows an officer placing a soup can, which holds a plastic bag, into a trash-strewn lot. The officer can then be seen walking to the street, where he flips on his body camera.
“I’m gonna go check here,” the officer says. He returns to the lot and picks up the soup can, removing a plastic bag filled with white capsules.
This footage was caught because of a handy feature in the police body cam: the last 30 seconds of footage captured before the police officer turns on the camera are automatically saved—without audio.
The defendant’s attorney found the footage just in the nick of time—it was the night before the trial. The case resulted in a not guilty verdict.
The man, unable to post $50,000 bail, had been in jail since January, according to attorney Deborah Levi, who is leading a new effort to track police misconduct cases for the public defender’s office.
This is just one of MANY cases we are finally hearing about.
Looks like the Minneapolis Police will hang Noor out to dry:
The Minneapolis police are not having a good PR week. One of their officers was caught offering some embellished facts about an encounter in which he shot dogs confined in their own yard. Fortunately, the owners had their own video to refute his story about being charged and shooting their dogs in self-defense.
Fuck the NRA. I say that as a “good Murrican” gun owner.
Good, but I’m sure it’s ONLY because of all the heat that’s coming down directly on him (the Chief).
Which* “him”* are you referring to? The Mayor or the Chief of Police?
The him is a she, you sexist you.
BOTH are women.
Holy shit, if this is the level of accuracy around here I…
Meh.

Well, isn’t that the same damn argument they use against us???
Why do we need a warrant? Do you have something to hide?
Why won’t you show us ID (for no fucking reason)? Do you have something to hide?
It goes both ways.
It doesn’t. They work for us. They are accountable. they wield power that we gave them, and they are free to resign if they do not like.
