Let that be a lesson to all you troublemaker teens out there: If you're going to be assaulted by a police officer you better make dam sure his blood pressure and cholesterol levels are within healthy limits. It's called responsibility.
Of course, since the charge is murder and not manslaughter, the teenager clearly had knowledge of his heart condition and provoked the attack on himself with intent to kill by existing as a brown person in public

Edit: guy might get a pardon if it wasn't Texas, as-is he could be a Navy SEAL and still be hosed for being brown and not speaking English

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

a man in california was arrested for failure to appear. he was HIV+, and the cops and the associated jail hospital denied him his antiretroviral drugs, which his mom sent with the cops when they arrested the man. he died from shingles, contracted at the jail, two months later. he was 38

I am almost certain there has been a case where the pigs sicced a k9 on someone, shot into the fray killing their own dog and charged the victim with killing an officer. Felony Murder (the charge you get if anyone dies while you are committing a felony) is kind of a bulllshit charge

Oh this has definitely happened, there was just one of those stories going around not long ago. Ultimately, aside from being cruelly vengeful and petty, It's the police convincing themselves they didn't gently caress up.

There are two that stick out in my mind. Assaulting an officer by bleeding on his uniform, and assaulting an officer when he broke his hand punching the guy's face.

The highest-funded police department in the world scammed $155 million in overtime from new yorkers last year. According to their own metrics, this avoided about 100 crimes on the subway system. So about $1.5 million dollars per crime

In August 2020, Brittney Gilliam was taking her 6-year-old daughter, 17-year-old sister and 14- and 12-year-old nieces to get their nails done when Aurora police officers stopped them in a parking lot and ordered them at gunpoint to get out of their vehicle.

[...]

At the time of the incident, police said there was confusion over the license plate as there was a stolen motorcycle with the same plate information, but it was from a different state.

Boy these five black girls in a car sure looks like the stolen motorcycle we are looking for.

The handcuffs were too big for Gilliam's 6-year-old daughter, the suit said, so officers forced the little girl and Gilliam’s 14-year-old niece to hold their hands above their heads with their faces on the pavement.

The family was held for about two hours until a sergeant arrived, according to the suit.

That one really shakes me. The one time a cop pulled a gun on me was a similar situation when I was like 20, though in that case someone had stolen a car and swapped my rear plate with those of the car they'd stolen.
Luckily I was a white kid going to college, so the rookie who pulled the gun was told to go wait in the car while the vet they were with finished the stop.
If I had been a shade darker, I definitely would have been cuffed on the curb at least and might have been killed for driving a clunker through a nicer city.

I worked with a woman who ended up being held at gunpoint over a stolen car. In that case she’d reported it stolen and then a few days later it was recovered through unofficial channels. She claims she called to police to report it found but either way a month later she found herself pulled over and held at gunpoint despite her name being on the registration and explaining the situation

I believe that. When my car was stolen I got a call from the cops 2 weeks later telling me my car was parked in a red zone and I had 15 minutes to move it or else it would be impounded. When the cop on the scene heard that the car had been abandoned in front of the complex next to mine he went from treating it as a nuisance dumping to insurance fraud and suddenly cared about dusting for prints and poo poo -but only until he found out I only had liability insurance at which point it just became my problem to move the stripped car again.

It was such a bizarre situation. The person on dispatch who called me didn't seem to have the memo that it was a stolen car and acted like it was a courtesy call, and then put me on hold for a minute when I said it was stolen. I was at work and my roommate and girlfriend had to push the car into my complex's driveway/guest parking since the thieves had hosed up the ignition, and dealt with the on scene cop who was very suspicious until he didn't care.

that poo poo is the worst

i have had cops pull guns on me twice, once when I was 14 and skipped a rock into my aunt's window. while she was explaining it to the cop I got frustrated and started to walk away and he pulled on me, much to her anger

the second time I'll give a pass, in my early 20s my downstairs neighbor got hosed up and went walking in the street with a replica gun and underpants on. when I came out to see what the noise was a cop pulled on my now wife and I, possibly in surprise. still scary as poo poo, and considering there were 12 cops a definite over reaction

for the record I'm white but also from very broke people in poor neighborhoods

I got pulled on in a car with windows that didn't work. I shouted through the glass "I'm gonna have to open the door my windows don't work." the cop nods and then when I look up from looking down to grab the door handle there's a gun six inches from my face. She starts screaming for me to get back in the car while I say into the gun "My... Seat belt is still on."
