Cop in America doing a bad job, again

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I think it is.
Are you lot actually telling me you believe it was a mistake?
Obama tuning in.
maybe obama can invite the cop over for a beer summit
Well, considering what she said vs what happened it’s one of three scenarios:
a) She meant to shoot him with a gun and mistakenly shouted “I’m going to taser you” multiple times.
b) She meant to shoot him with a taser and shouted “I’m going to taser you” multiple times and then shot him with a gun instead of the taser.
c) she always had the intention of shooting him with the gun but covered her ass with the mistake angle by starting to shout “I’m going to taser you” multiple times before shooting him.
I’m leaning towards b since there’s nothing in there that suggests an escalation that warranted a fatal shooting with previous warning (ie, if she had seen him reach for something she wouldn’t have warned him multiple times plus she was shouting before she actually saw him). You reckon it’s c?
Not the only feck up of the case. Apparently the warrant that was issued for his arrest was for a court date that he missed...because the police sent the court date letter to the wrong address.
Not that I believe that story for one second but let’s pretend it’s true, if a driver killed someone because he accidentally stepped on the gas instead of break and knocked them over, they’d wipe the floor with him in court
Negligent homicide, if my memory of old Law & Order episodes is considered sufficient legal training.
Yeah it would have been a genius political move for a President to come out against police. He's not just the president of lefties ya know......
Would you give it a rest ffs.
I'm with you on this. Option A makes no sense and Option C would indicate a level of pre planning and evil that I don't even want to consider.
Why? Every time cops are to be held accountable he puts out some performative BS that results in nothing. He did the same last year as well when the bucs players started protesting. It's almost as if you've forgotten that blm protests began under his presidency.
America is not a real place, I don’t understand how these things can keep happening without any changes being made and people being held accountable.
Well maybe he should apologize for not eradicating institutional racism. Or could he be racist himself? You seem to be the authority on accusations like that.
Institutional racism??? more like getting away with murder
Someone throw this guy a smiley or two. Poor guy has been at it for almost a year now. Atleast then he would stop making such jokes in a thread about police brutality.
stop with your tantrums and don't misuse the report function.
I asked you nicely....
Having watched the video, it's clearly the mother of all feck ups. If it was intentional it would take an incredible level of on-the-spot psychopathy and deception. You can hear in her voice immediately after she fires how horrified she is.
Catastrophic policing all round. I don't even know how they let the guy get back in the car and able to drive away from a position of being handcuffed.
I don't see why a cop would deliberately shoot a suspect in that position. It's clearly a massive feck-up that should be punished heavily. No excuses for that level of incompetence and clearly not in the right line of work.
This may boil down to if someone with such tenure as the officer is getting proper, continual training in the use of firearms / deadly force. Should someone also be on the front line after 26 years?
I just don’t see this as intentional, the police officer perhaps simply shouldn’t be afforded this much responsibility without the proper continual training to keep her edge sharp. She should face at least what the BART cop faced regarding jail time; her length of time in the force shouldn’t be used in her favor to lessen such.
My first reaction when I heard about it was "No, obviously not". But the video footage and everything else all suggests to it being an (absolutely ridiculous) mistake.
Now the worthless part of my family is chiming in on the most recent murder by cop, stating that the cop was correct in using lethal force because we don’t know what could have transpired after the shooting, that lethal force was justified because Wright could have used his car as a weapon.
So, we now have those who don’t want to blame cops because we don’t know what happened before a video clip & we also have those who don’t want to blame a cop due to what could potentially happen after a video clip.
It was so much better when I was estranged from those mental deficients.

In the US people are getting killed by cops in ways that are just absolutely ridicilous.
When accounted for population size, I'm really curious if European police kills at the same rate as American police. I doubt it.

So apparently we should just start shooting anyone in a car.
Hell, everyone should be shot every time as we don’t know what happened before a stop or what could happen after a stop.
Or we just need minority reports constantly.
Most recent killer cop resigns...

not that it makes anything one iota better, but if this shit is going to happen the absolutely least we should be able to expect is what has happened:
1) Body Cam video released the next day
2) Obstructing, shit spouting City Manager fired by Mayor the next day
3) Officer Resigns within 2 days
4) Police Chief "resigns" within 2 days.
#5 needs to be the officer be charged and arrested in the next few days.

No reason why body cam footage shouldn’t be released immediately. Hell, I would be for all police body cams being streamed live.
Hopefully #5 will be occurring any day now.
Agree on point one obviously, less so on the live stream idea. Privacy issues for civilians as license plates/faces need to be blurred.
Get what you are saying about live-streaming when civilians are around.
They're well ahead. Wonder what the stats are in Europe and the US when it comes to police executing unarmed/non-threatening black people.
Edit: I'd also be wary of the classification of numbers from countries that are in effect war zones / under occupation / enduring apartheid / US proxy war plaything.

A breakdown of info gathered here too, if you’re into that sort of thing.
We should have more studies like this, but thanks to The Dickey Amendment we didn't have any CDC research on gun violence for 2 decades. The date of this publication is not a coincidence.
You have been very accommodating regarding questions from posters here and we appreciate your insights. I do have one more for you if you have time to answer. Would the benefits outweigh the cons if LEO's only carried non lethal on their person and lethal in a lock box in the patrol car?
I personally feel that a death sentence is totally unwarranted for minor infractions no matter how much the situation gets out of control. If the person being apprehended is an immediate danger to the public lethal force maybe warranted but if it's 3 cops surrounding an unarmed person resisting arrest why must they die?
Edit: Also, now that white supremacists terrorism is the biggest threat to public safety (the insurrection at the Capitol being a big fecking red flag)which should police officers be more in fear of their lives, a dozen white men armed to the teeth or a black youth running from the law? Should law enforcement shift their focus to a threat that could wipe out a few dozen innocent people at anytime or a bench warrant.

get the feck, no way was that a mistake
so this is Obamas fault, how fecking refreshingIf an officer resigns do they still get their pension?
If they get fired do they still get their pension?
I see both the police chief and the copper that killed that young man in MN have both resigned. She was a cop for 26 years.
Not sure about the chief but I assume he was there a while too.

Wouldn’t be surprised if resigning was a preemptive move to try to protect her pension.
Can’t see this LEO not receiving jail time.
