Current Events > Man that video of the cop shooting the unarmed guy after screaming at him

(+) Yeah! (+)

And apparently the cop is in no trouble at all? Those guys are literally terrorists. I really hope there's a real life Dexter Morgan out there because we could really use that right about now...

The video is in this link but it is super messed up

I know we have some veterans on this board, tell me, how do the cops handle this guy compared to how you are supposed to handle people in Iraq/Afghanistan who could potentially be suicide bombers? I have a feeling that the military would handle a situation like this with a civilian in Iraq/Afghanistan a hell of a lot better than these cops who are in the US with no risk of fucking suicide bombers.

These are terrorists in my view, terrorists who are a far greater threat than the Taliban or ISIS because they are already within our borders shooting people.

We have to take away their guns.

Too many people in this country are brainwashed into thinking cops and any authority in general are right all the time. It's insane.

Sometimes I wonder if there is some jury tampering or intimidation going on too in some of these cases. Cops act like gang members all the time so you never know.

That video really hit me. Like he's giving the guy so many instructions it's so confusing gives a whole spiel about "don't fucking put your hands down" then tells him to crawl? I was surprised he didn't shoot him then. Poor dude was trying so hard to follow instructions, he handled it better than I would have.

Why not tell them both to turn around and walk backwards to him? why not apprehend him while he's on the ground? the cop just seems like an asshole, getting "you're fucked" put on his gun? what a piece of shit. I just get the feeling from him that he wanted to shoot someone, anyone eventually.

That's what I was thinking while watching it. Like, this guy really wants to shoot this guy.

Kinda like the jury in San Francisco that acquitted the illegal immigrant that shot the woman.

All around horrible handling by that officer. Should most definitely not be walking free.
---

Well, he did get fired and can no longer work as a police officer. He even got black listed.
---

I just watched the video. Disgusting. The fact that he said that "he doesn't think he wants his job back" makes me even sicker. Hope that he gets what he deserves.

But not because he killed a guy. But because he had something on his gun that said "you're fucked" that was against policy.

And the guy who shot him probably just got trained to shoot when someone reaches for their pants.

The other guy that gave the dumb ass instructions is even more at fault here. The dude was on the ground facing the floor hands behind his back for minutes. Just go over there and cuff him. This is just complete incompetence.

If an electrician makes a small mistake and someone dies because 1 cable was somehow installed wrong or something he gets destroyed and cant work anymore. These psychopaths instruct a completely frightened guy into doing impossible things until he messes up and shoot him and nothing happens.

I think the cops fucked up but I have to point out the cop that fired his AR and the Sergeant giving commands to the guy are two different people. I think the Sgt. escalated the situation and gave contradictory commands and I think the cop who fired his weapon is just a bitch ass pussy

Cops and judges are in bed with one another professionally. Why piss them off when they keep you in a job?

We need a purge.

You're not trained to shoot just because someone reaches toward their waistband. That's the red zone, sure, but it's a totality of the circumstances situation. He made the wrong call, and it cost a man his life.

A jury aquitted him, crazy. That man got no justice
---

So what do we call this, aggravated torture and execution.
Because that's what it looks like to me.

I'd like to know what the commanding officer, Sgt. Charles Langley got out of this.
Because IMO, he is as much at fault as anyone here.

Accidental killing that couldn't have even been planned vs cop executing a man begging for his life on the ground and posing zero threat. Totally a fair comparison.

This so much

You can comply and still die. All it takes is for a cop to not be in his right mind or scared.

Funny how cowardly they are.

I hope someone delivers some street justice to this cop for the murder of a drunk unarmed compliant boy.

If this happened to my friend or family member theres atleast two cops who would vanish off the face of the earth.
---

hopefully the family sues him and the department for a fuck ton.

Cops are taught to deescalate. Something in that guy's training did not connect.
---

I know they were both scared but the girl got the same orders and listened to them.

The first thing he said in the video was 'I'm not here to be a diplomat'. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what the lead guy who's giving orders is supposed to be

They told her to crawl forward while crossing her legs and keeping her hands in the air? And she was able to pull that miraculous feat off?

Pigs gonna oink.

How to be a fascist 101.

kidding.

Im sure theres a logical reason as to why the jury let em go free. Not that I agree with the decision...but I feel like theres more to the story.
---

The jury might have been encouraged to find him not guilty kinda like how the mob encourages you to pay them on time.

They were not treated the same. His tone of voice was completely different for both. And the commander even said something along the lines of, "..I'll give you pretty much the same orders..."
Or, this will go almost the same way, or something like that.

It's almost gallows humor in retrospect.

If a cop did that to my child I would brutally murder him and not have an ounce of regret over it.

That scumbag should be put down. That was murder

The only explanation that makes any sense is that the guy yelling and the guy who shot aren't the same person, but there definitely needs to be punishments for both of them.
---

supposedly the jury was not allowed to watch the video. that might be why they let him go free

Im pretty sure they did see the video.
---

I heard the only thing the jury wasn't allowed to use was the info that he had something like "you're fucked" inscribed on his rifle. I don't actually think that's very important though tbh. What is important is their behavior, acting like the SS in the middle of peaceful America.
---

That video makes me sick. You can clearly see how terrified the boy was before they murdered him. Hell I am terrified just watching the video.

Firstly, he's not a "boy." He was a grown man.

Secondly, I understand your wish for retribution. But you can't fight against extrajudicial killings with extrajudicial killings.

I was legit sad when I saw this.

Yeah, this is what Zitken is talking about. I wish he'd take 2 seconds to look in to stuff when he tries to join a discussion.

The jurors should be publicly shamed. Fucking morons.

Dexter Morgan? Come on now, he certainly isn't Rambo

Why not? You're working in a police department not a fucking warzone. This guy literally thinks he's The Punisher lmao

What's your alternative? Clearly the judicial route doesn't work because these murderers keep getting off. Eye for an eye is the only other answer

Why did the dude keep trying to reach something in his waistband?

Because his fucking pants kept falling off? If he didn't, they'd have shot him for public nudity a few minutes later instead
