I can't believe how restrained they were in such a deadly situation. They should be commended for not even pulling their weapons.

At least they fired him

Before the lawyer got involved and got the video before it could be 'lost' they were claiming he tried to run from the cop. Love how the immediate instinct for a cop, in any situation, is to lie, it's the most natural thing for them. Just lie, we'll all just lie all the time, from he top to the bottom 'whenever questioned, lie'Cops are the second or third worst element of American society, child molesters, Fox News pundits and cops, in that order.

God I hate fucking cops. I hope that guy sues the balls off of that department and gets millions. I hope the cop who did it gets raped and trampled by a fucking rhinoceros.

Bill Maher had a good bit on them a few weeks ago, basically asking at what point they became infallible.They can literally do no wrong anymore. They're always justified.

I'm always very suspicious of people who say they 'don't have a racist bone in their body' or similar, because that means you basically see yourself as beyond reproach and are incapable of spotting unconscious bias in yourself.

This american life have done two consecutive episodes on police fucked-upness. Worth a listen.http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-a ... y-part-onehttp://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-a ... y-part-two

^yep those were pretty good. i liked the scientific study that said average cops are less gender-biased than your average person, which isn't true anymore for cops working in "high gang" areas
