I am at the point where I trust cops less than the local tweaker looking to score some gorgeous copper-pipes or manhole covers.

Yeah, and if a cop needs to ID me for any reason, don't ask me for my SSN, wouldn't trust you with that information, you ain't getting it.

RIP innocent dude!

Of course if the "officer" had used proper judgement consistent with his professional training as opposed to the untrained civilian, he wouldn't be facing murder charges. Just a thought, one that seems to escape the apologist.

If the idiot would have just followed the cops directions instead of trying to flee he would still be alive, common sense seems to escape the cop haters. Always a victim.

So you think CAMPUS COPS should be shooting people off campus?

So you think people can just drive off when they are stopped by the police?

The University has already killed its officers from patrling anywhere but on campus

I see prison and a huge payout. The ex officer lied... which will seal his self made fate.
Poorly trained.. absolutely horrible tactics .

No way to minimize this... even though at trail I imagine he will try... I see a plea bargain
I agree, looks like a bad shooting. Poor training and lack of judgment. Sad a life is gone over nothing.

Would that apply to everyone?

If we found lots of incidents of black teens committing crimes and/or being dishonest, should be say the word of a black teen means nothing?
Why do you continually bring race into every discussion about police?

Maybe you don't even realize you do it. In that case, some soul searching seems long overdue.
