Controversial encounters between law-enforcement and civilians - the omnibus thread

In a country with some 30-40 million black people, it would be surprising if a month passed without at least one being shot by police.

How about what the fuck your link is about and what do you think of it?

Well, there ya go then.

Someone piss on your cornflakes?

Again, it is obviously self-explanatory. As for what I think about it, it’s a graphic depiction of the arguments made in this thread vis-a-vis police prejudice against black.

Fuckin’ happy now?

Uhhhh… this deserves it’s own thread…

…police officer takes exception to being filmed. Charges then destroys the cellphone in question.

What comment is needed? OwnRules probably would not have posted the link if he did not support its message.

Thanks for the link. Posted it to my Facebook page.

It shouldn’t be. The UK has more people than that and commonly goes a whole year without killing anyone.

In Smaptiland, that’s a bad thing.

That’s a lot like the actual conversations after watching the morning news.

In the real world, UK citizens don’t have a constitutionally-guaranteed right to bear arms.

And so their police force doesn’t gun down unarmed citizens because reasons.

Then maybe Americans shouldn’t have one either. Going by results, you know.

100% agreed.

A month? Try a day: Police Killings in America, Day By Day | by Matter | Matter | Medium

Do those killings count towards the 40 homicides each day in the US? Or is that on top of the good old fashioned cold blooded murder?

Probably not, murders are committed by criminals, not the city’s finest.

Police try to make an arrest at the wrong house, let the dog out, then try to shoot the dog on a crowded Brooklyn sidewalk.

It would be somewhat of a farce if it didn’t happen so depressingly often. Cops respond to the wrong house and kill the service dog of a downs syndrome kid in March, they shot a dog at the wrong house in Michigan last October, shot a dog at the wrong house when going after an expired vehicle registration and hold 6 kids at gunpoint and shoot their dog at the wrong house, both in 2013.

sigh.
