You're kidding, right? If given the choice between living with paranoia or living in a bubble of denial then I would probably choose paranoia.
Until police start being held accountable for their actions, a healthy dose of reality and wariness are the absolute minimum a reasonable conscientious person should add to their mindset when it comes to law enforcement in this country.
If you happen to live in an area where the police *don't* shoot unarmed suspects then consider yourself very, very lucky. The rest of us live in the real world.
Cop-haters unite!!! The key thing in their world is resist, defy, fight back, and win the prestigious "Darwin Award".
Exactly how many times have you been affected by police brutality. Be honest. Some of the people complaining on here must have the most incredibly bad luck. Post after post about bad police. Either that or the prisons are now allowing for nice internet access.
Keep in mind that these officers were never charged with anything. Zero accountability and zero responsibility
Well quit wasting your time on here. Go march in a protest. Get some picket signs. March up in Washington. Complaining on here is doing what exactly for you???
2015-02-11 Watkins, Phillip (23) California (San Jose) Watkins was shot by two police officers after allegedly charging at them with a knife.
2014-08-14 Showman, Diana (19) California (San Jose) A woman was fatally shot by police after she pointed a cordless drill designed to appear as an Uzi firearm. The officer who shot Showman, Wakana Okuma, was CIT trained. Showman had bipolar disorder.
2013-11-28 Vasquez, Albert Manuel (42) California (San Jose) A man who was suspected of stabbing and injuring three people inside a home fled in a van. As police tried to encountered him, the suspect tried to do a U-turn into the patrol car to hit the patrol car, and the cops started shooting at him. The suspect died.
2013-03-18 Meija, Elias (27) California (San Jose) Police were looking for Meija in connection with a homicide and spotted him in a stolen vehicle and blocked his car. Meija allegedly tried to ram his way out. San Jose officer Bruce Barthelemy shot and killed Meja after getting out of an unmarked police vehicle when Meja drove toward him.
2013‑03‑02 Aduddell, Ronald (28) California (San Jose) Police attempted a traffic stop when they felt a vehicle looked suspicious, and a chase ensued. After reportedly ramming several police cars, Aduddell got out of the vehicle and was shot to death by Officers Ian Cooley and Adam Jenkins, who say his hands were on his waistband area. Police did not locate a weapon at the scene.
Well, let's dissect these "killings" a little bit:
Watkins charged them with a knife.
Showman had what looked like an Uzi and was bipolar.
Vasquez stabbed 3 people and used his car as a weapon.
Meija was wanted for homocide and was in a stolen vehicle.......he also used his car as a battering ram.
Aduddell ran from the cops, rammed SEVERAL police cars, and looked like he was reaching into his waistband.
Yep, you are right, all killings with absolutely NO justification at all ! You printed it, I just copied what you said.

Don
You put way too much effort into it. the original post listing it mentioned most of that already. I can't imagine how anyone got to the "no justification" part. The only one I feel sorry for was showman. But I also dont hold it against the cops either, cause how were they supposed to know?

Either felons being sought after or dumb asses being mouthy and not following instructions!!
Yeah, don't point a cordless drill at a police officer.
Every one of those incidents could have been solved with non lethal-force. But the all great police gods have to shoot first, because they can't take a chance on even getting a little scratch on their finger.
You're really mistaken but that's OK, ignorance can be fixed. Only stupid is forever.
One assailant comes at cops with a knife. A knife is a deadly weapon and the cops will shoot you.
Point a cordless drill "...designed to appear as an Uzi firearm" at a cop and he or she will shoot you.
Driving vehicles at cops or anyone else, they become deadly weapons and the cops will shoot you.
When stopped and if you're stupid enough to put or keep your hands at your waist band the cops will shoot you.
Cops aren't out there to allow themselves to be killed.
It's called common sense; something obviously lacking here
Your prejudice and lack of critical thinking skills are showing big time.
