I wanted to see what kind of disgusting take on the story Drudge Report had but instead they just aren't reporting it at all. Mitt Romney almost had a perfect bracket though. ascii genitals fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Apr 8, 2015 |

I like these small government guys. Only time the government is impeccable is when they use deadly force against browns.

This shows exactly why the "less lethal" thing that the Ferguson cops are getting is retarded. These guys don't stop to put a goofy aluminum ball on the end of their piece, they just empty half a magazine into the guy, plant some evidence and call it good.

On lighter news, there is this Lithuanian Police TV series showing a drunk or off-meds American girl threatening Lithunian cops with World War 3. It's loving hilarious. "Even though the girl asked help from the United Nations, she was escorted to the hospital by regular police officers." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53gAFuE0FwQ Subtitled.

Woo boy the stones on the guy who recorded it. I would have hauled rear end as soon as I realized I'd just recorded a shooting. If he hadn't stuck around, he wouldn't have caught the guy planting the Taser, and he might have gotten off.

ChairMaster posted:Are you guys loving kidding me, I don't think a police officer wearing a badge has been convicted of murder in the past twenty years or so, do you seriously believe that this guy is going to be the first? If you're lucky he'll get fired, but even that much isn't likely. The guy straight up murders that man, plants a weapon on him, and lets him die. All recorded in video. If this cop does not get convicted of murder, (some parts of) your coun try is gonna burn.

I have to wonder what the odds are that the cop's lawyer in the Walter Scott case can somehow finagle an all white jury and sell them an acquittal. I'm sure there must be high profile lawyers salivating to make a big splash getting this guy off.

I don't believe in the death penalty because it costs too much, but it this case I can support it. The death penalty is as much about the victims and the community as it is about keeping a person away from the rest of society.

If there were ever a case for the Death Penalty this would be it. A person in a position of authority misuses that authority to murder a member of the public in cold blood for literally no reason and then goes on to falsify evidence with all of it being caught on camera.

I'm sure there must be high profile lawyers salivating to make a big splash getting this guy off. Tazering someone renders that person defenseless, which is the entire point of giving cops tazers. Therefore in the hands of a criminal it is theoretically* dangerous to the point of lethality as a defenseless cop could be stomped to death, have their weapon taken, etc., whereas, again only theoretically*, cops won't then proceed to kill you after tazering you. *clearly unproven Full disclosure: A childhood friend of mine was tazered to death by police.

He's already lost one lawyer, because either a) he lied to his lawyer about what happened, b) his lawyer realized there was no way in hell to make this case or c) the cop decided he'd need a much, much better lawyer.

Executing this guy might be satisfying but it wouldn't make up for all the innocent people who get put on death row through institutional racism, human incompetence, and/or sheer bad luck. The death penalty needs to go.

I've seen it said that what the cop dropped next to the victim was a spent taser cartridge instead of the actual taser. Does this seem legitimate?

I will predict what will happen because I have a magic 8 ball. The cop will argue during trial that due to PTSD that he was not in full control of his actions. This will result in him being convicted of manslaughter.
