Good. But I got this beat. Several years ago a black man was firing a handgun into crowds on the street. The police shot him dead. The “community” held rallies and marches calling the police murders. You will never satisfy these people.

This thread illustrates the reason dirty cops get away with being dirty cops. Ten pages and 99% of the posters are not interested in concerning themselves with why the cops felt the need to mute the audio after killing the guy.

Unreal.

I do all the time; I've been suspended for posting links to police brutality/murders and police misconduct.

My concern is trying to wake up my fellow caucasians or mostly caucasians that white people are victims of dirty cops WAY more than the media reports, as it doesn't fit the BLM narrative. That way maybe they'll finally stop bootlicking and understand cops are jackbooted government employees with no duty to protect us.

Most non-criminals and people without criminals in their families don’t really care what happens to criminals.

I don't either, but when cops are mowing down non-criminals and generally acting like they're above the law, it's hard to give them any respect.

If he had a gun and killed one of the cops, you probably wouldn't give a snork.

If people do not want to have a run in with police you don't run from the police. It was dark and plenty of people (white and black and brown) have been shot for holding a wallet, cell phone, hell one man was shot for holding a garden hose.


Cops get shot AT, there is a war against them (thanks for promoting that) and so they go in with the attitude that they may not make it home tonight.

Wrong as this shooting is it will be a justifiable shooting. Those cops were clearly afraid.

WTH are you talking ABOUT? There are over 2M prisoners and 5M on parole. How is there a family that doesn't have a felon in their family? I have one very close to me and probably a few I don't know about. Anyone with a politician in their family has one, they just don't know it yet.

And one of the officers is black, don't know about the other one. The local tv news is refusing to release their names because they--and their families--are already getting death threats. The Sacramento Bee would sell their grandmother, so no surprise there.

So....black suspect, black police officer, black police chief. And all we're hearing is--it's racism. Of course.

No, but if you're going to play with gasoline and fire, expect the worst.

He met his fate because of a scared little boy in a uniform...who should never been on street work if he couldn't handle it without KILLING someone over VANDALISM or ROBBERY.
Get outta here with that mess.
