fatally shoot
Uh, murder is the word you're looking for
They “egregiously passed a bullet through the vital matter of a person who probably was the perpetrator they were calling about because they were black.” It’s not murder, it’s just American cops daily quota.
Fuck American cops.
The firearm flew out of the officer's holster and bullets were fired. Also, a woman died of acute lead poisoning.
involuntary manslaughter
I doubt it was involuntary.
“Oops I accidentally emptied my magazine uwu”
Damn how did you get your hands on a transcript already?
It was prophesied
Involuntary voluntary manslaughter
There's footage to be released next week. I'll wait until then to raise my pitchfork.
You need clarity when it comes to cops, they could also have kneeled on her neck or beaten her to death.
The fact that this is the second person this cop has murdered in similar circumstances is fucking appalling. They should have been fired after the first murder.
Honestly, if cops want to keep abusing taxpayer funds, I want monthly "shareholder" meetings where citizens can review the month's performance, and demand changes. Clearly, police administrations are not capable of doing that job and have no accountability.
They should have been fired after the first murder.
They should be in prison right now and thus not have the chance to murder this poor woman.
You could go to city council meetings. But expect to be harassed for it.
Yeah, I've found those to get really hostile, really fast.
Imprisoned, not fired.
Cops need to face penalties for abusing their power that are much harsher than what an average person would face, not more lenient.
All body cam footage needs to be monitored by a third party. Police departments shouldn't have the option of withholding body cam footage. It should be a made available public and made available immediately after the incident.
Simply turning off the body camera for any reason other than bathroom use should be a felony. Stripped of all credentials and banned from participating in any govt agency there is.
If that’s the only time they can turn them off, then they’re gonna have a lot of bathroom breaks.
Besides, what’s the worst that could happen? We find out they need more fiber and don’t wash their hands? Cameras aren’t pointing at the cops.
I was thinking more of public bathrooms for others privacy
Doesn't really matter whose privacy it's for. any exceptions at all creates a space where they can then abuse the fuck out of people. there's really no way around that.
They can. And they will.
Record continuously, with the feed streaming through BT/Wi-Fi connections in the car (the. From the car, streaming in real time, along with every other camera they have,)
The feeds are all monitored in real time by dispatchers. (This would help in crisis response, too, coordinating responding officers better in, for example, an active shooter,)
Cops don’t have access to the main storage, but they get copies for things, so they can’t tamper with it…. And it doesn’t get to be deleted until reviews of the tapes happen.
Can the networks even handle this? Every time I see a live stream its 144p @ 2.5 fps
In the absence of footage or any other direct evidence, anything that cops say in court should be considered a lie. That's the only way to level the playing field in the justice system and to stop effectively rewarding bad/criminal behavior on the part of law enforcement.
It's a wonder we ever get the cops involved. From my experience its a real crapshoot.
It’s fine to call the cops if you’re white
I fucking hate American police. ACAB
No its not, I was down in Florida on the gulf side, my hotel was right beside a 3 mile bridge cops cut off access to my hotel because of Cynco de mayo (sorry for my butchering) my GF at the time drove around a cop car to get into the hotel, had our room key in my hands to show the officer, told us to keep driving or he was going to arrest for pulling an illegal manuver. Went about 100 yards past em back towards town I got out and walked over to explain we were just getting back from dinner. Cop instantly grabbed his cuffs and had his hand on the gun. Luckily others had complained and hotel staff came out to calm down the cops.
Fuck American cops
You didn’t get shot. That’s my point
Yeah no white people have ever been murdered by cops
Here's a fun one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Justine_Damond?wprov=sfla1
Yes acab for all of us. They are an enemy of the people
Against Carceral Feminism: Relying on state violence to curb domestic violence only ends up harming the most marginalized women.
I just don't understand the logic here. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of abolishing the Duluth Model and the requirement to incarcerate someone on a domestic violence call.
But neither this situation, nor the story you linked to seems to have much to do with that policy.
In both situations, the police acted completely out of bounds. It is a completely different problem.
The story on the website was written in 2014 about an incident that happened in 1999, that's almost 25 years ago. It can't be considered relevant today. If there's a real systemic problem of this kind, you should have at least a dozen cases like this every single year.
Hopefully, in this most recent case we'll get some body cam footage released so we find out what really happened.
And also hopefully, the body cams is what will put this guy off the force forever. It's the second time he seems to have done something like this, but I'd bet that the first time, body cams were not standard practice yet.
Seems to me that the solution to stop this kind of thing from being a common problem is body cams, and that's what we have.
History is relevant, especially when there hasn't been any significant deviation from the historical status quo.
And also hopefully, the body cams is what will put this guy off the force forever.
It turns out that doesn't work when the DA's office and/or the courts are just as corrupt as the cops, which is a majority of the time.
Also while we're wishing for things, wish for him to be in prison forever. There is absolutely no reason cops shouldn't face penalties that are at least as harsh as what ordinary people face when they blatantly commit crimes.
Only call the cops if you're 100% OK with anyone involved and around being killed. I.e. you're already under threat of death.
I mean without knowing more information than "she was being attacked by an ex boyfriend in a domestic violence situation" she very well could have been. I don't fault her at all for wanting to call the cops. 100% of the fault lies with the responding officers and the system that allows them to operate with the training and mindset that they have.
It didn’t seem to me that they were implying the officers are not at fault, but the fact remains that cops cannot be trusted to do the right thing when called and that you could end up dead if you call them as the victim reporting a crime.
Noor shot a woman who called because she thought some one was being raped. These kinds of “mistakes” never should happen.
And they happen way too often,
How is the whole US rioting at this point? Curious Frenchy here
I believe you dropped this: "not"
Ah there it is thank you my young man !
Man, those poor kids. I feel incredibly sad for them.
At this point it's generally safer to dial 811 in emergencies.
Never call the police regardless of your ethnicity. Period. They're not going to help. If you don't get shot, they'll look for some pretext to arrest you - even if you're the victim or witness of a crime.
