  Here's why shit like this goes so wrong. If someone doesn't do what some (most?) cops tell them to do, the cops fucking lose their minds. I am not one of those people who say, "If Blacks would just do what the cops say..." That's not what I'm saying. If I was black and the cops approached me, I'd be tempted to run away, too! But when you ask, "Why do they have to shoot someone who is not attacking them or is unarmed?," it's because so many cops are power junkies and hostile fascists and if you defy them or disobey them and, God forbid, just try to run away and save yourself, it absolutely turns them blind with rage and, in their mind, you must be stopped with whatever means are available to them.  It's like that guy they shot in the McDonald's parking lot. They knew his car, they had his license plate. If he tried to drive away, well, just let him. You know where he lives, just go pick him up later. He's not going to flee the country. But no, he committed the unforgivable sin: they said "stop," and he didn't; he had to die.
context: Quick guys there’s someone shooting innocent people somebody call the co… oh wait never mind >
  
  Has anybody tried calling the FBI to come swat some cops? Maybe we just need to try keeping the ball rolling. >
  
  not too long ago the cops were called on an atf agent trying to do a home visit. he got tased and cuffed and that’s just hilarious >
  
  First, obligatory fuck the ATF.
  Second, though, in fairness, someone called the cops about a man harassing someone at their home (ATF agent wouldn't leave after the resident told him to fuck off), and when the cops showed up, the ATF agent A, still refused to leave, and B, also told the cops to fuck off. I saw that video. 
  Like, I'm no friend of the ATF, or the cops. But if some asshat is standing on my front porch, constantly ringing my doorbell and refusing to leave, and the cops show up and he starts getting combative with them as well, I wouldn't feel that bad about seeing him get tazed. >
  
  didn’t know he was that persistent i guess i just saw the part afterwards 
  but yeah, all cops >
  
  Ah yes, they shot him for "leaving the scene of a non-crime." >
  
  Like that poor kid in the mcdonalds parking lot eating a burger with his girlfriend >
  
  Sorry, what’s the story here?!
  Do I dare ask…? >
  
  Some kid was on a date with his girlfriend in their car at a mcDonald's parking lot and some monkey brain badge gang member mistook it for a different car, went up to the driver's side door and opened it, kid got scared (probably thought he was being carjacked) started to drive away, and the state sponsored out of control murderer magdumped his pistol into the car, ~~killing the kid~~
  There's bodycam footage online
  Edit: Kid survived after being shot multiple times >
  
  I thought he survived???? >
  
  I'll be damned you're right, I was sure he died, he got shot multiple times.
  Poor kid, Injuries like that are life altering, and only 17 >
  
  The chief's first statement was that the door hit the officer? Do you laugh? What's the reaction I'm supposed to do? >
  
  Oh, the door accidentally hit the cop who opened the door of an unsuspecting and innocent civilian? I didn’t know that GTA had cops pegged so correctly, where if you accidentally bump into them on the street they just waste you! >
  
  The door also made him shoot 6 shots at a fleeing person >
  
  If a non-cop shot at someone that was retreating, that would be assault with a deadly weapon and more than likely you'd lose your right to bear arms. There's lots of rules for regular people of when to shoot and not shoot. I don't understand how the people responsible for enforcing the law don't understand these rules. >
  
  “The call was placed to a non-emergency line but rerouted to general dispatch” so like, no matter what they respond like a fucking swat team. >
  
  I found weird items in the back of my truck after a murder happened in a rougher part of my neighborhood so I called the non emergency line to offer it to the police Incase it was evidence from the murder. They not only treated me like an idiot, but also said "are you the guy who called 911 over suspicious shoes" 
  No im the guy who called the non emergency line because I had someone ditch a pair of Nikes that aren't worn out in the bed of my truck less than a mile from a murder. Do you want them or not? 
  Yes I felt dumb calling them but if it wasn't for the murder happening within walking distance I probably would have just tossed them. >
  
  The podcast about the murder if you had've tossed the shoes without alerting authorities: "The shoes were dumped in a neighbour's truck bed, and the owner of the truck threw them away without a second thought, destroying valuable evidence despite the widely publicised murder that occurred nearby!" >
  
  Instead, we just get the usual podcast: "police ignored many possible opportunities to review evidence etc that could have possibly lead to the killer much, much sooner".
  "Police ignored the boy lying in the front seat, bloody and crying, and waved the killer on". Which one was that, again? I think the poor young man had actually had his skull drilled into. >
  
  Jeffrey Dahmer I think. Unless it's happened a few times which isn't out of the question. >
  
  It happened for Dahmer twice, albeit not that specific situation. Im sure a lot of people have gotten away with it because police didn't care. >
  
  This happened to Konerak Sinthasomphone, who was fourteen at the time and did not speak English very well. The child escaped, was visibly, intoxicated, scared and in distress when found by neighbors, the murderer tried to shoo them away to take Sinthasomphone back, the police were called.
  The police arrived and the murderer framed the situation as a lovers spat, never mind that Sinthasomphone was fourteen. The neighbors protested loudly, however they were black and the police told them to butt out and leave or they’d be arrested. Sinthasomphone was handed back to the murderer and taken back to the apartment, where he was killed and his remains raped and mutilated. The police in the meantime joked afterwards that they needed to be “deloused” after dealing with gay people.
  In the case of this murderer there were many chances the police had to intervene. The murderer was pulled over with the remains of Steven Hicks (22), the first victim, in bags to be disposed. They waved him on. The apartment stank profoundly, and there were many complaints but nothing was done. The murderer was known for being aggressive in local bathhouses. These were ignored because the area was inhabited by people of color (Black folks and Asian immigrants) and gay folks.
  The only reason that the murderer was caught was because Tracy Edwards escaped, with handcuffs still on him he was able to convince the police to finally come to the apartment where they found overwhelming evidence of what had been done. The police had to be pulled to the place and have everything laid out for them in such an extreme way after months of being told. The murders victims were overwhelmingly impoverished people of color. >
  
  One of those cops eventually was elected president of the police union. The other rose to the level of interim police chief for a Milwaukee exurb. >
  
  It's important to mention this every time it comes up. "Gave a scared, confused, injured child to a murderous cannibal rapist" is not an obstacle to advancement within the police force or union. That encapsulates the problem right there. Impunity plus reckless incompetence. >
  
  
  Frasure was shot at least once in the head. He was transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he died.
  
  Apprehending a suspect for burglary and/or fleeing should not be done so with deadly force. This is what happens when police get away with murder. >
  
  They're already trying to frame it as him putting the officers in mortal danger by driving his truck at them.
  
  
  Guy is spending time off work to empty the apartment of a dead relative.
  
  
  Neighbour calls police, claiming robbery in progress.
  
  
  Police arrive.
  
  
  *TIME PASSES*
  
  
  Guy tries to flee from danger.
  
  
  Police try to kill him.
  
  
  
  Apparently, he was known to them.
  However, this alone doesn't justify a shooting, nor does simply fleeing.
  Still need the camera footage to clarify the manner of his driving as the police describe it. >
  
  Police succeed in killing him >
  
  Police claim that they feared for their lives in situation that they created. >
  
  This is almost always the case >
  
  If only there were methods of deescalation
  And methods of training them to people
  Idk, maybe like cops? >
  
  "De-escalation" was literally the name of the training in police forces a couple of decades back (at least according to the various police friends I had back in the day).
  Nowadays, it's called "Killology" and contains such gems as "you have great sex after killing someone!" >
  
  More people need to be made aware of David Grossman and just how much of this shit is directly his goddamn fault. >
  
  And here's the thing...Grossman never saw combat.  He has never been under fire, or led men in combat.  His training is him living vicariously through actual combat troops. >
  
  Wow, an even more disgusting piece of shit than I already thought he was. >
  
  "Shots were fired into the van when it “almost struck an officer”, police say."
  Police say... I've heard that so many times. 
  We'll have to wait for video, and see if shots were fired directly in front of the car or on the side. 
  Plus, if your in front of a car and can shoot, you can jump out of the way too. >
  
  Last time this happened the video clearly showed the car trying to drive around the officer who had stepped out of their patrol vehicle to get in front of car. Before unloading their gun into the front windshield >
  
  Yup, cops deliberately moving into the way of a moving vehicle to justify "life dangerous threat" >
  
  Or shooting someone who's running away because they already decided to. >
  
  Cops have to be the most afraid / scared for their life people on the planet to have to constantly shoot unarmed innocents. >
  
  No. They are simple bastard brutes with guns. They don’t think. They shoot. >
  
  They are TRAINED not to think and shoot though
  that's the difference
  Look up police training videos and they are wild
  Police training is incredibly fear based and primes cops to be murders >
  
  Killing is "just not that big of a deal" if people emotionally prepare themselves for it, according to police trainer and self-proclaimed expert in "killology" David Grossman.  Also, the sex afterwards is great.
  Cops don't need more training.  The need better training and higher educational and behavioral standards to even be eligible for training. >
  
  EXACTLY
  that guy is effing psycho and turns cops into psychos >
  
  It’s the psychotic stare after he says something crazy followed by “yeah?” that gives it away for me. >
  
  If the police stonewall the release of the video you'll have your anwser about what really transpired. >
  
  The head of the FOP for these guys constantly rants about body cameras and the civilian oversight committee and how they need to be disbanded. Don’t worry, it’s coming. >
  
  Once a gun enters the equation many, more logical, solutions aren’t even considered. Especially when a person is trained to treat fellow humans as the enemy as police are. >
  
  When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail >
  
  "Look out, he's got a hammer! Shoot him!" >
  
  The first time I realised the absolute insanity of how American police deal with people was as a teenager watching one of those police chase shows.   On it they had chased and managed to stop a guy who then was out of the car and weilding a screwdriver.    
  Now, in the UK (where I live and was watching said show) the cops dealing with this probably wouldn't even be armed officers and most likely it would end with just talking the guy down after a while.   If he was really erratic and unable to be reasoned with then ye firearms guys would be called and he likely would be tasered if absolutely necessary.   
  And yet on this show, with like 5 cops surrounding this guy with one screwdriver they just shot him instead.  And then he was dead.  And that was all fine and good because he had a weapon and he clearly deserved to die (/s in case that's not clear)  Fucking insanity. 
  I recently listened to the behind the bastards series "behind the police" and fuck me that whole system just needs tearing down cos its just rotten to the core and based on so much bad faith.    Training seems to just revolve around teaching cops to be deathly afraid of every member of the public and that their own lives are more precious than anyone else's, cos they're cops! and that they need to just be scared constantly, and that the reaction to being scared to be to shoot on instinct.  And that people's normal nervous reactions are actually signs of lying and being about to do something dangerous.  
  Just absolute fucking insanity.  Tear it down. >
  
  100% agree. It's absolutely ridiculous. Many (I assume american) people in this thread are also saying the neighbour should be blamed for the death of this man because they "should have minded their own business" and not called the cops on a suspected break in because they couldn't be sure they weren't stealing..?
  It was a SUSPECTED burglary. In most civilized countries the police would just show up, talk to the guy to find out what's going on and then move on. But no, let's shout with guns aimed and end his life if he doesn't comply.
  Here in Sweden if some random people were in my next door neighbours apartment hauling out valuables I would call the police. If they were stealing shit they'd get arrested, if not then no harm done. >
  
  
  Shots were fired into the van when it “almost struck an officer”, police say.
  
  Few weeks ago I was crossing Houston St in New York and an NYPD cruiser blew the red without any lights or siren on, almost hitting me. I had to jump back, I was totally freaked out. I yelled "fuck you" at them and they stopped the car, got out and threatened to arrest me for public disorder. >
  
  Arresting somebody for yelling 'fuck you' in New York is like trying to arrest the ocean for being wet. >
  
  It's getting to the point where if there's police in the area at all, you should assume there's a credible threat to your life regardless of circumstances. >
  
  It's getting that way for white people, it's always been this way for us non-white folks >
  
  As a white person who used to live in the States, it's fucking crazy how uneasy I feel when I go down for a visit. It's like being behind enemy lines.  
  I remember living in Oakland County, Michigan and being pulled over by the same cop 3 times in 3 weeks and getting my car/person/bag searched each time, and also getting a ticket all 3 times too for different "offenses".   
  Since I moved to Canada I've never even seen a speed trap in 13 years, and I've never been pulled over. As soon as you go south of the border, within 5 minutes you're gonna see a cop hiding behind a sign, waiting to ambush the unsuspecting traveller. And it just keeps going like that for the entire time you're down there. It's fucking insane. It messes with your head, you're in a state of constant paranoia.  
  Then you come back up to Canada and you feel this massive weight lifted off your back. You don't have to constantly worry about some trigger happy scumbag springing from cover to ambush you and then shake you down on the side of the road while he and his buddy have one hand on their weapon as they toss your vehicle, just praying they'll find a joint.  
  Oh yeah, speaking of joints, we have coast to coast legal weed up here too. So that's nice. >
  
  Canadian police & mounties are too busy covering up their abuses of native people to pull over nice white folks. >
  
  At this rate it's only a matter of time before police viewing the public as a threat becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. The illusion that they are any sort of protectors is washed away in a tide of bloodshed. Violence is not the answer and the state sanctioned gangs will execute you for retaliating but at some point the camels back will break... >
  
  Who in this day and age really views the police as protectors? They are what their name is. Law Enforcement Officers. That is it they are not there to protect anyone and often don't show up until after a crime is committed anyways. At least here in the US you never want to see the police show up and if they do you better treat it like your life is in danger because they are just as likely to shoot you instead of a criminal. >
  
  I certainly don't and never have, but you can't deny that a large percentage of the population still lets that illusion hold sway over them. Particularly older Caucasians in the middle class and upper middle class tax bracket. And with the echo chambers that encapsulate all of us, I fear that it will take decades before any real change can be affected. Seeing is that demographic is also doing their best to consolidate their political power over younger generations. >
  
  To add on to this, I don't want to make it a generational issue as everything truly boils down to class divides. But that demographic has been brainwashed into thinking that their part of the one percent who ultimately benefit from the way things are. >
  
  It might be generational. Do they still do that officer friendly shit in elementary school? Mine haven't told me yet, I should ask their school I guess. I teach my kids not to trust cops and to treat them like strange dogs, never approach without a grown up you know and be extremely careful when you see a strange one in public. I wish I felt bad about it but I am literally more afraid of cops than I am random street criminals. >
  
  
  Do they still do that officer friendly shit in elementary school?
  
  Nope, instead they have "correctional officers" whose job is to arrest kids for hitting each other in middle school >
  
  People flee the police because they fear for their lives and the police continue to prove them right. >
  
  The video they release had better include the entire encounter and not just the 3 seconds when the shooting happened.   
  The police seem to enjoy escalating situations that don't need it. >
  
  Yeah. I see a lot of boot lickers any time video is released say "Well we don't know what happened prior to the video!" >
  
  Kind of funny that Law Enforcement successfully uses the same defense strategy that didn't work for Alex Jones. >
  
  The difference is, they can't be held accountable like Alex Jones. >
  
  Another successful execution based on a neighbor’s phone call. Great police work. Why waste money and time finding out if the courts will prosecute when you can just nip it in the bud with a well placed bullet? >
  
  Whenever I hear this, I always check the states requirements for number of hours of training for hair stylists vs cops.
  Wyoming:
  Requires atleast 1600 hours for Cosmetology, 1000 for Hair Stylist, 400 for Nail Technology.
  Cops:
  Require 13 weeks basic training (520 hours) and 14 weeks field training (560) hours for a total of 1080 hours. 
  Your hair dresser in wyoming has 580 hours of additional training with a scissor than a cop has with a gun. >
  
  This happened in Ohio. Not that it makes a difference. >
  
  God damn cops are fucking pathetic ass cowards. >
  
  Tried the ol' south park "It's comin right for us" trick. Bet the video says otherwise. >
  
  This country has brain damage >
  
  thats the tldr of all of these situations >
  
  Something similar nearly happened to my father.
  My dad and my uncle were working on clearing out an office suite that my uncle had been using.   They had made several trips, then went back inside to work on breaking down some final filing cabinets, which took some time.   As they were leaving, arms full of boxes, they find that the sun has gone down and it's dark outside now.   As they approach the truck they hear police tell them to freeze, don't move.
  My dad looks over and there's a cop with a shotgun pointed at them posted up at the corner of the building.   Someone had called and reported a burglary.
  The only thing my dad could think of was "what if we had accidentally dropped the box or made some other sudden movement."
  Luckily my uncle had the keys to the place and they were able to call his boss to verify they could be there. >
  
  Ah yes, the famous multi-trip burglary >
  
  Anyone think that maybe, just maybe, we should not be hiring scared man-babies to be cops and giving them guns? >
  
  Who else wants to shoot “bad guys” and be hall monitors of the roads? They don’t solve crimes. They are enforcers for the rich. 
  Smart, good people become firefighters or EMTs. The dumb thugs become cops. 
  It’s really obvious what kind of people want to wear a gun all day. Scared man-babies. >
  
  So many people insist that cops stop crime. They show up afterward and maybe, if is not too much trouble, they might look into it. Usually only if you are wealthy. >
  
  
  His cause and manner of death have not yet been released.
  
  I mean he got shot by an incompetent cop while minding his own goddamn business and doing nothing wrong. I think we narrowed it down. >
  
  Maybe it got updated but it said the cause of death was listed as, no joke, "officer involved shooting." >
  
  Cops love the passive voice. >
  
  Judge. Jury, and executioner.   Why do we live in the judge dread universe? >
  
  Judge Dredd followed the law. Can't even say that much for the police here. >
  
  Judge Dredd was literally one of the only judges that wasn't corrupt. >
  
  Serious question: what's with cops shooting at people fleeing? Do they train for this? Is there a protocol they're supposed to follow? >
  
  Cops can't shoot at someone merely for fleeing. That's why they always claim some near-miss of a physical encounter to justify deadly force. In this case it was "almost struck" by a vehicle. As in, not struck at all. >
  
  What was their excuse for double amputee guy? >
  
  They said he "was attempting to throw his knife at them." >
  
  Wake me up when the cops just start shooting eachother. >
  
  [*both cops:]
  "Why wouldn't he just comply?" >
  
  According to the NYT, the cops issued 70+ instructions to Tyre Nichole in the space of 3 minutes. That's 23+ commands every minute...how does one comply with 23 commands in a minute? >
  
  Two cops screaming at you, issuing conflicting orders.
  Dont move
  get on your knees while your hands are in the air
  dont move
  get on your stomach while keeping your hands in the air
  Dont move
  put your hands behind your back
  dont move >
  
  All with the overwhelming fear of knowing your life could be over any minute. >
  
  Yes...not one, but TWO loaded pistols aimed right at you while they are screaming. >
  
  Why are all our cops such chicken shits? >
  
  They're not: "fearing for our lives" is a boilerplate template they're trained to excrete every kill, just like Killology told them would improve their sex-lives.
  Police usually make very certain they'll be entirely safe to "was fearing" you before escalating. Knowing their victim can't escape its doom is what's really getting them off. >
  
  This is why you shouldn’t call police unless it’s a life or death situation, and even then, think twice. They’ll probably only make it worse.
  The neighbor thought the house should be empty because the woman was dead and believed that the house was being burgled. They did not believe anyone was being threatened or harmed, but they called police. Seems like the right thing to do, right? Wrong. Now an innocent man is dead.
  This is the United States, this is a predictable outcome. We have seen many times that they shoot first, ask questions later.
  If no one is actively dying or attempting to kill someone else, do not call the cops. The only exception to this is a car accident, because you need the report for insurance. If your house was burgled, show up to the station in person with photo evidence. >
  
  I literally had the cops called on me because I was "stumbling around" on a public residential street. 
  People will call the cops at the drop of a hat.  
  I wasn't drunk or impaired in any way.
  I literally got "pulled over" while walking. >
  
  A neighbor called the cops on our cat sitter.  They showed up in mass with guns drawn.  Stupid thing was our cat sitter was also a neighbor who is extremely tall and recognizable and well known to this neighbor. >
  
  I had neighbors call the cops on me for "breaking" into my own house, and by that I mean just, you know, walking in because I had forgotten to lock the door that morning. Lived there for 8 years at the time, lived right across from the neighbor who called the cops, had saw and spoken to them numerous times >
  
  That's actually crazy. >
  
  Cops are just there to kill people at this point.  Stop calling the cops, neighbors, unless you want blood on your hands as well. >
  
  Cops only get called for two reasons for me. Domestic disputes with violence I have witnessed or gunshots. 
  Everything else my neighborhood can handle in house >
  
  Serves em right. Shoulda known better than to conduct lawful actions in the presence of police /s >
  
  The neighbor must think that when someone dies in their house or apartment the place is just empty and unoccupied for the rest of eternity. >
  
  "To protect and serve her knickknacks"
  Way to go, y'all. Preserving the peace of her old granny draws! Attaboy! I hear they need heros like y'all in Uvalde. >
  
  American cops do not value human life. And surprisingly, not a small number of Americans are quite happy with that. They say inhumane bullshit like:
  
  if you pull a knife on the cops, you deserve to be killed
  if the cops issue instructions and you don't obey, you deserve to be killed
  suicide by cop >
  
  I hope the rest of America is waking up to what minorities have been saying for decades. We have lost control of the biggest gang in America. >
  
  
  Police say Frasure did not follow commands, running from officers and attempting to leave the area in a minivan. Shots were fired into the van when it “almost struck an officer”, police say.
  
  Remind me in a month when the body cam comes out and it turns out none of this is true. >
  
  This is fucking outrageous >
  
  As an American, I used to be scared of going to Australia because I thought it was dangerous with all the spiders, snakes and crocs. Now, I'm scared of America. >
  
  How many people here would think twice to call the police in almost any bad situation because you know the police are likely to just make it worse or shoot you, your loved ones, or your pets? Show of hands? >
  
  Again, the police ‘suspect’ an intruder was committing a crime… so when are the videos of the incident being released? >
  
  If you read the article it mentions that; Friday. >
  
  
  Police say officers suspected Frasure was a burglar
  
  And by implication, police are saying that if they think you might be stealing a TV, even if they don't know for sure, they are allowed to shoot you dead.
  
  Police say Frasure did not follow commands, running from officers and attempting to leave the area in a minivan
  
  If I'm peacefully cleaning out my dead grandmother's apartment, and cops show up pointing guns at me, you damn well better expect me to try to get the fuck away before they kill me.
  Cops should not be allowed to instill fear of death in a population and then cite that fear as a reason for execution. >
  
  I'm sorry that happened to your husband. Cops showed up at my door over 10 years ago now and started interrogating me about someone calling 911 and hanging up "in this area." They kept trying to trip me up, get me to admit to something I didn't even KNOW was happening, and the whole time treated me like a criminal. When I told them "I don't appreciate what you're trying to do. I don't know anything about this." One of them said "I don't care what you don't appreciate son, you're going to listen to what I have to say and answer my questions." No proof at all it came from my address. If it happened today, I wouldn't have even answered the door. They can talk to me through it and you better believe I'm not opening it unless they have a warrant. Being 17 at the time, I didn't know anything about my rights back then and I was home alone which made it even scarier. Fucking assholes. >
  
  “I want to know why they killed my brother,” said Joe Frasure Jr, Frasure Jr’s identically named half-brother.
  I'm curious about that. >
  
  George Foreman named all his sons George. >
  
  And he has a lot of sons >
  
  He has about as many daughters too. One he named Georgetta. >
  
  Fleeing the cops shouldn't be a death sentence. They have the license plate numbers through body and dash cams. Just because he jumped in a van and fled in fear doesn't give officers the right to blind fire into the vehicle. >
  
  The next page out of the police playbook will be to put out a press release explicitly detailing Mr. Frasure's criminal history, down to anything as minor as a parking ticket, should it exist. >
  
  Police arrive. Man dies. Narrative emerges as to why he HAD to be shot dead. Sounds so fucking familiar, doesn’t it? Were there always this many police shootings in the US? >
  
  next up the police violate the mans privacy and release anything that makes him look bad to public. >
  
  I remember years and years ago real cops would make fun of police genre television shows because in real life they never pulled a gun in 20+ years being on the force and every cop show pulled out a gun and shot people all the time.
  Life imitates art now (not that cop shows are considered art). >
  
  Cops these days all think they are in a movie and that they are going around getting "bad guys". Only law enforcement and 5 year olds say "good guys and bad guys". Their small brains cannot understand nuance >
  
  The worst thing an American could possibly do to another American is call the police. The odds are very good one is actually ordering a free murder. >
  
  How about cops can't have guns anymore. >
  
  We need to start requiring police to have insurance similar to Doctors malpractice insurance. This way bad cops will be weeded out since they won’t be able to get insurance. We can’t rely on the system as it currently works to fix this. Also when bad/rogue cops get sued they can’t then rely on the deep wallets of the taxpayers to pay victims off. >
  
  Mind your god damn business, fucking neighbor. >
  
  Police should not be constantly hosting their own public executions. That is not upholding the law, serving or protecting. >
  
  "'No Way to Prevent This', Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens" >
  
  Cops literally escalate situations and run into danger on purpose so all of their actions are always justified by "fear". Guess what, nobody would have died if you just didn't show up. There was no violent crime suspected and no crime even being committed. >
  
  The “Greatest Country in the World” where innocent citizens keep getting murdered by the police and the government does nothing. >
  
  You can’t do anything in this fucking country without fear of being shot to death. >
  
  At this stage you don't need to preface stories like this with "US" . Just say "Man shot" and we will all know where. >
  
  Report a burglary and police come in guns blazing. 
  Report a stolen phone with precise location, held in a location along with with other stolen phones. Nothing ever gets done about it. >
  
  I just want a supreme court cases that makes it legal for civilians to shoot police because they fear for their life and are exercising their 2nd amendment right to retaliate against an authoritarian government institution >
  
  US cops are a just death squad at this point. Just a gang of corrupt murderers running on egos. Fucking terrifying. >
  
  This is one of the major problems with police. They are trained to always try to stay in control of every aspect of situations they are in. I can almost guaruntee he was shot because he made them feel like they didnt have control. >
  
  Call me controversial, but someone fleeing a scene is not grounds for an execution, even if that person was an actual burglar >
  
  And US cops are better than Iranian moral police how? There needs to be a license and insurance so the state sanctioned gangs called cops can be cleaned up from all the rotten apples that rotted the entire system. >
  
  I used to dream of living it big in the US one day, now I think I’ll take a hard pass! >
  
  Abolish police immunity, make the Police Pension Funds pay victims of police murders, and watch them suddenly “care” about “not killing innocent civilians”. >
  
  So I did a little bit of digging and found through a family member that the guy killed was out on parole and he was scared that he was going to go back to jail once they ran his name because he wasn't supposed to be out of the state. Doesn't say which state though
  Not pointing blame, just explaining why the guy fled. >
  
  Knock knock
  Who’s there?
  BANG!
  Police. >
  
  Warlord street gangs kill again. >
  
  Just some A+ protecting and serving. I certainly feel safer.
  /s for the dumdums.
