Snatch my wallet? Again big deal, i dont carry cash on me and i can easily call in my cards to be cancelled.

What in the world would a cop do for me if i got pounded in the head? Nothing.
You will need a police report for your insurance.

We do not have cops in our township........so we go to the county for police report to file our insurance claims.

No each case the person shot was not picked randomly . Levar jones was the worse one if if I recall the policeman was charged .
These cases are few and far between and to make it seem cops are randomly killing people as a routine is wrong.

As I read this forum........it looks like anyone could be arrested at anytime.

Why die from the arrest??

Go to court and make your case.

how about stop blaming the victims for once? Class to "be arrested" bullcrap, implying it was Garner fault he was choked to death by a cop using a illegal choke-hold?


The issue is the over use of force, and the lack of accountability.

Not people who don't "know" how to be arrested. It is the police officer job to conduct an arrest in safe manner.


What would be the first step of "how to be arrested"? Lesson 1 - be white. Lesson 2 - if black, your f'd might as well start praying.

You must be very delusional if you think people always fight with cops and then the cop reacts lol . Im not saying cops are always bad but a lot of over reach and abuse has been going on.

The officer got his gun caught on a mirror, thought the kid grabbed it, and then shot him point blank in the head. Then the police cleared themselves of fault in 48hrs. Yeah there is no problem - no problem at all


Wisconsin learned from this episode, why cant we?


". I learned that an officer had put his gun up directly to Michael’s right temple and misfired, then did it again, and shot him."


What I Did After Police Killed My Son - Michael Bell - POLITICO Magazine



After police in Kenosha, Wis., shot my 21-year-old son to death outside his house ten years ago — and then immediately cleared themselves of all wrongdoing — an African-American man approached me and said: “If they can shoot a white boy like a dog, imagine what we’ve been going through.

really?
how about stop giving the police a reason to suspect you are doing something wrong?

Maybe the black community should take a lesson in civility and stop making people think
you are a bunch of thugs.

how about doing away with your "no snitch" rule?

Too many police are out of control.

The OP will tell you that if you end up dead, then you probably deserved it. Case closed. See how easy that was?

You're right. It's not illegal. It is against policy.
