Police kill unarmed man and tell his family he committed suicide, and that he was holding his girlfr - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;46864519]Right, you get your face painted with the blood and brains of your boyfriend and your immediate reaction is "Shit, I could make [I]money [/I]from this!" [/QUOTE] You don't see what possible motivation there might be to convince everyone that the police that shot your boyfriend were evil power-tripping pigs, exonerate him as an innocent victim, and make a ton of money in the process? Edit: Not even saying that's definitely what happened but there sure is a lot of 'FUCK DA POLICE' jumping to conclusions here, and it isn't helped by an OP that is deliberately showing only one side of it.

The police say one thing and the other people involved say another. The stories they provide are so different that it's highly likely that someone is lying. The problem is, there's no factual evidence available (to us, the general public), so any judgement is a jump to a conclusion, which is just pointless.

[QUOTE=morky;46863777]Whats wrong with cops. Period.[/QUOTE] "fuck the police am i rite" you sound like a 16 year old drug dealer who's had some justifies run-ins with the law

All I'm seeing is the standard victim-blaming and presumption of innocent for cops and presumption of guilt for everyone else.

[QUOTE=Judas;46863614]holy fucking shit, what is wrong with some cops[/QUOTE] Better question. What is wrong with some people? difference between people and cops is that cops have more power.

There's two very anti cop posters in this thread and then there are posters who are trying to look at the facts, but that information concludes that the cop's actions might be justified. We're jumping to conclusions if anything and there really is no point in arguing against the anti cop bias, because they will not change their minds. Also we really need to stop thinking of cops as one entity, there isn't some clone factory making all cops alike. Cops come from all walks of life and have different methods of thinking.

[QUOTE=morky;46863777]Whats wrong with cops. Period.[/QUOTE] You know not all cops are evil shootey shootey things, like in Denmark at least, they are not. You also hear more good things about cops here in Denmark than you hear of bad things, we have a whole TV shows that airs sometimes dedicated to showing how the cops work and how they deal with dangerous individuals. There was a girl in my class back in what would be considered late elementary school(I think? Was around 12-13) by American standards, can't remember which grade, but her dad was a cop, he was a bit strict, but beneath all that cop'ness there was an awesome dad who knew how to handle a daughter like my classmate(she was apparently some sort of manic depressive, with eating disorders and other awful things, even then he knew how to handle her massive mood swings, bout of delusional mania and, as it says on the tin, depression.) Anyway, that cop dad invited my entire class to the police station so we could see all their police dogs, both old and wise and puppies under training. Those dogs were actually pretty fucking sweet, but I could imagine that when in service they are more like little four legged robocops. Later on he invited us again and then we got to see a lot of their equipment, the cops were actually very kid friendly and I even got to try wearing full riot gear, believe me or not, that shit was heavy for my little kid body! So yeah, the only people who hate cops in this country are drug users, that can't get that cops aren't heartless robots programmed to take their drugs and give them a huge fine, but just pretty normal dudes and dudettes who are just doing their god damn job. Everyone else? Well, I can say I am glad that I pay their wages with my tax, because they seem to deserve that money, and I think most people who aren't criminals can say the same. Just my two cents, guys.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;46864519]Right, you get your face painted with the blood and brains of your boyfriend and your immediate reaction is "Shit, I could make [I]money [/I]from this!" I don't buy that for a second. Cops protecting their buddy from the consequences of his recklessness seems a lot more likely to me than somebody angling for a payout from a shooting. [editline]5th January 2015[/editline] And cops corroborating their buddy's story isn't?[/QUOTE] I love how you conveniently ignore his other two points.

[QUOTE=Code3Response;46864011]Now, I dont know shit about this case. Just going off the news source: Yes Thats a fucking hostage whether she thinks she was or not.[/QUOTE] Don't even try, he's already posted like 2 other articles about how evil cops are

[QUOTE=OvB;46863810]Nothing is wrong with most cops. You'd need a dedicated forum for. "Cop saves man's live." "Cop returns stolen property." "Cop does job." "Cop does what literally most cops do every day protecting community of ungrateful fucks."[/QUOTE] TBH, there really is nothing special about them doing their ducking job, these outlets DO make a difference to the group

Some cops are worse than criminals, believe it or not they are human too.

Who have been given authority and should be held to a higher standard

[QUOTE=Aznsniper911;46864861]Also we really need to stop thinking of cops as one entity, there isn't some clone factory making all cops alike. Cops come from all walks of life and have different methods of thinking.[/QUOTE] literally everyone knows this, and it doesn't jsut apply to cops. why do people always have to say "not ALL X" every time someone from a specific group does something bad

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;46865290]literally everyone knows this, and it doesn't jsut apply to cops. why do people always have to say "not ALL X" every time someone from a specific group does something bad[/QUOTE] Because people show up to say "ALL X." [QUOTE=morky;46863777]Whats wrong with cops. Period.[/QUOTE] Case in point

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;46865290]literally everyone knows this, and it doesn't jsut apply to cops. why do people always have to say "not ALL X" every time someone from a specific group does something bad[/QUOTE] because people are dumb and still think that "all x" is bad.

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;46865290]literally everyone knows this, and it doesn't jsut apply to cops. why do people always have to say "not ALL X" every time someone from a specific group does something bad[/QUOTE] Because we have posters like Used Car Salesman here.

[QUOTE=morky;46863777]Whats wrong with cops. Period.[/QUOTE] yeah man, and fuck all muslims too, every one of them are terrorists. i hope you fucking had some sort of objection to that statement because it is the same type of thing you are doing maybe it made you realize what a cunt you are being

You know when you watch the movies and the good guy let's the bad guy go because otherwise he'd be just like him, meanwhile you're screaming just shoot him. Yeah sometimes the good guys do feel the same way and finish it.

If all cops are inherently power hungry killers then all blacks are responsible for stealing my bike. B-b-b-but cops have higher standards! Yeah, and a good citizen would report the parties involved in a drive by shooting, but that pesky little thing called "snitches get stitches" and this same anti-cop drivel comes along, like in this thread. If you want an us vs them narrative, find some real targets like the more common ACTUAL criminals running about

i'm just glad it was a white guy this time

Yeah real smooth, cover up a murder as a hostage situation when you know the person you're pretending was taken as a hostage is going to deny it. Nailed it, officer. [QUOTE=joshuadim;46863687]I thought for a moment this was another cubeman post. Still, this is fucked up[/QUOTE] Can we stop having this post on every article that deals with cops and/or palestine? I know the dude tends to only repost stuff that fit in with his agenda, but that doesn't mean you have to mention him every time a relevant topic is brought up. Him reposting some news doesn't invalidate them either.

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;46865290]literally everyone knows this, and it doesn't jsut apply to cops. why do people always have to say "not ALL X" every time someone from a specific group does something bad[/QUOTE] when it stops being applicable is when people will stop doing it why aren't you rallying against the people who are literally saying "All X" why are you focusing on what is a small subset that is almost always done in response to people making the counter-point [editline]6th January 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;46864731]Is there? All I'm seeing is the standard victim-blaming and presumption of innocent for cops and presumption of guilt for everyone else.[/QUOTE] step 1 would be to actually start reading the thread then you complete clown

What the hell? They dare lie about that even in a social climate like this? All this will do is reinforce the hate from the current situation regarding cops. What were they thinking?

[QUOTE=BFG9000;46869231]What the hell? They dare lie about that even in a social climate like this? All this will do is reinforce the hate from the current situation regarding cops. What were they thinking?[/QUOTE] Implying it's the police who are lying?

I dunno man, I can't think of any reason why they'd want to lie. Honor? Saving face? Abusing the current situation with police to get media attention? It doesn't seem plausible

Or exonerating her fiance as an innocent man tragically targeted by sadistic police rather than an intoxicated moron who overreacted and got himself killed? And the best explanation you can give for why the police would do what would be entirely unjustified and unprovoked act of murder if her account is accurate, going so far as to falsify reports to claim that she said she was a hostage, is... what, exactly?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=w00tf1zh;46863839]That's expected of them. They took the job to do so, and to get money from it. [B]We shouldn't praise people doing what's expected of them[/B], nor make threads like "Cop DOESN'T use excessive force, wow!" or "cop sees black guy, doesn't shoot him". But we should shed light on when they use wrongful misconduct.[/QUOTE] I think we should, and i think you're a big meanie

[QUOTE=catbarf;46871265][/QUOTE] Didn't think of lawsuits, fuck me that's really big these days

[QUOTE=BFG9000;46871823]Didn't think of lawsuits, fuck me that's really big these days[/QUOTE] Also because in traumatic situations you very regularly see romantic partners jumping to the offender's defense out of instinct. I had a girl who was attacked by her boyfriend and he climbed onto her car screaming how he was gonna kill her then kill himself and she wouldn't press charges against him till me and some friends talked her out of it. People are very strange at times
