The American Police Force

Cop forces a guy to crawl along the ground as he sobs and begs for his life, then shoots him five times in the back when he pulls up his pants. Gets four years.

it's almost like conservatives are more concerned with college protesters than state-sanctioned murderers.

The lunacy cops and their attorneys go to to justify their actions with fear of their life is less concerning than people's ability to just agree with it.

At this point these bad cop things are feeling the same as the whole RELIGION OF PEACE thing, and the peoples attitudes towards said people.

I mean, if even the COP report says he fucked up, I don't think libbies got the edit on that one. Body camera and all pointed to him messing up. This isn't some cellphone video starting at the moment of confrontation with almost no context. One of the things you're taught in the police force is to deescalate the situation.

He was instructed to keep his hands in the air. As he got closer he dropped one of his hands and reached towards the small of his back. Randomly reaching for where some people keep guns would obviously make officers nervous and suspect something.

The man however was intoxicated so it's really just all a mess.

It's a shame he was all talk.

I'd argue that killing innocent people isn't "all talk"

Maybe people should actually be respectful and listen to cops. You don't get shot when you do as they say

Talking shit and being disrespectful does not warrant an execution.

"The worker who becomes a policeman in the service of the capitalist state, is a bourgeois cop, not a worker."

Cops act above others because they don't identify themselves as being a part of the people. They see the people as something to be disciplined and restrained.

Except that's literally their job.

Cop's aren't there to be your best buddy. They're a regulated body of persons empowered by the state to enforce the law, protect property, and limit civil disorder.

If you want to talk about excessive use of police force, that's fine, but let's not pretend like the role of a police officer is somehow broken and unnecessary because it really isn't.

So long as our current economic conditions are still present, the role of the police officer will be broken. In the most basic sense, the role of a police officer is a sensible and reasonable one, but this is not the basic sense.

Talking about cops as if they're some kind of monolithic entity is ridiculous. Our police are decentralized and different departments operate differently.

I love how it's just so easy to handwave away murder victims

Regardless of your justifications, something obviously has to be done.

Elaborate.
