By Fenderputty Go To PostAren’t they supposed to? Serious questionDon't know, and if there is a minimum times to shoot maybe it's time to revise that
Based on google its “shoot to stop” ... and they’re trained to shoot several times though I don’t think anything specific.
By Fenderputty Go To PostBased on google its “shoot to stop” … and they’re trained to shoot several times though I don’t think anything specific.Anyways, at the very least we need more non-lethal options for these situations and the officers need to be trained how to rely on them.
Pretty sure no one wants to take the chance themselves or their children or their SO being stabbed "a couple times" just to save the life of the person actively doing the stabbing.

Definitely.
Omg RWNJ radio just started going in on lebron
By blackace Go To PostEven if that person was your niece/nephew?if you need the cops to reel in your family from knife fighting in public then you fucked up way before the cops did
there's a difference between getting shot in the back of the head while driving away, minding your own business and what this is situation is. they're not like scenarios at all. getting shot through your door. getting shot for wondering who's peaking around outside your house in the middle of the night. getting shot for asking for directions.
and further, nobody here can even pretend they'd be able to sit, accept, and listen to someone rationalize their loved one being stabbed within acceptable limits when it could've been prevented without gymnastics.
its upsetting. plainly. but that entire thought path just aint it
Sure nobody wants to get stabbed or have a loved one get stabbed, I also would believe nobody wants to see their niece killed in front of them even if they were wilding out.
Again, it will be a good shooting. But I don't believe it was the only course of action 🤷🏾♂️

Maryland officials will conduct an independent review of reports of deaths in police custody during the tenure of retired chief medical examiner Dr. David Fowler, representatives from the offices of the governor and attorney general confirmed to NPR on Saturday.
Fowler testified that he believed Floyd had died of a sudden cardiac event due to his underlying heart disease while being restrained by police, citing multiple possible contributing factors such as drugs in his system and potential exposure to carbon monoxide from vehicle exhaust. While the Hennepin County medical examiner concluded that Floyd's death was a homicide, Fowler argued the manner of death should be classified as "undetermined."
That testimony alarmed Washington, D.C.'s former chief medical examiner Dr. Roger Mitchell Jr., who wrote an open letter calling for investigations into Fowler's medical license, as well as a review of the Maryland medical examiner's office under Fowler's leadership. At least 458 physicians have signed the letter, Mitchell tells NPR.
Signatories argue that Fowler's involvement in a separate case involving an in-custody death, where Fowler is among Maryland officials subject to a lawsuit, raises the concern of a potential "pattern of bias in practice."Exposed himself
That case has to do with Fowler's handling of the medical records of Anton Black, a 19-year-old Black man who died in police custody in Maryland in 2018.
Maryland civil rights attorneys have said that video of the incident shows three white police officers and a white civilian chasing, Tasing and pinning Black face down on the ground until he eventually stopped breathing. Fowler ruled Black's death an accident and named his heart condition and bipolar disorder as contributing factors.
Yeah, they had bullets flying through peoples homes and shit. A neighboring army veteran said he never saw live combat, so the closest he ever came to being killed was in his own goddamn house.
By LabouredPatriot Go To PostLol at that one cop stopping and looking back to see if he wasn't running after him.
By Kidjr Go To PostWhat I find INSANE is that all these cops where body cams and still go ahead and murder.Not that insane considering historically nothing is done.
By Kidjr Go To PostWhat I find INSANE is that all these cops where body cams and still go ahead and murder.A lot of people were trying to explain how this wasn't gonna stop much and if anything solve a lot of liability problems for cops all over the country.
I don't know why people expect video to change long precedent in how certain people act and how they treat others, especially if there was absolutely no consequences before. In fact some just failed upwards like that piece of shit cop who gave Dahmer his victim back.
ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. — A North Carolina judge on Wednesday declined to immediately release the body-camera footage in the shooting death of Andrew Brown Jr., agreeing with a prosecutor to delay its public dissemination for at least 30 days.
Judge Foster denied the release altogether to the media outlets, saying they did not have legal standing to request the video, but approved its release to Mr. Brown’s adult son, Khalil Ferebee, and his immediate family within one degree of kinship, plus one lawyer licensed to practice law in the state of North Carolina.smh
I guess I'm working off the assumption that they know they're wrong in many of the cases so have footage may deter them such actions
By Kidjr Go To PostI guess I'm working off the assumption that they know they're wrong in many of the cases so have footage may deter them such actionsNot when they can decline to submit it as evidence by claiming the officers "accidentally" had their cameras turned off.
By Kidjr Go To PostI guess I'm working off the assumption that they know they're wrong in many of the cases so have footage may deter them such actionsI mean you can always just turn it off, say it was damaged, or simply never use the footage. One really problematic thing occuring now is cops instigating volatile situations then moving forward in general decision making processes from that deliberately manufactured heightened level.
LE defenses are ahead of the curve in more ways than folks realize. You're never gonna see body cam footage of a guy sprinkling meth in dozens of cars over weeks. If body cams had the same scrutiny as a regular call center, things would be different.
By domino Go To PostThey’re making this 100x worse and tense than it already is.EC ain't built for any of this
There were 4 body camera (5 files total) and 1 dash camera.
And they talking about cutting some audio lol.
If police being held to account starts to become more common, it's only a matter of time until someone flees the country during one of these long ass investigative periods.

cops with a mile long complaint history that prohibits work but not resulting in any actual jail time? they just take the scumbag show on the road. and because our police training leads more towards weapon familiarity than many, many other nations. ready made resume more or less - it leads to failing upwards.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. charged three white men in Georgia on Wednesday with federal hate crimes and the attempted kidnapping of Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man who died last year after they gunned him down while he was jogging through a suburban neighborhood..
The U.S. Justice Department said that former police officer Gregory McMichael, 65, his son Travis McMichael, 35, and William “Roddie” Bryan, 51, were each charged with one count of interference with rights and with one count of attempted kidnapping.
Four former Minneapolis police officers were indicted on charges of violating the civil rights of George Floyd, a Black man whose killing last year led to months of demonstrations against police violence, the Justice Department announced on Friday.
The indictment was returned by a federal grand jury weeks after one of the officers, Derek Chauvin, was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of Mr. Floyd. The charges are another extraordinary censuring of law enforcement officials, who rarely face criminal charges for using deadly force.
The indictment alleges that by holding his left knee across Mr. Floyd’s neck and his right knee on his back and arm as he lay on the ground, handcuffed and unresisting, Mr. Chauvin used unconstitutional, unreasonable force that resulted in Mr. Floyd’s death.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/07/us/chauvin-george-floyd-civil-rights.html
cop walked towards the car and mistakenly thought the car was moving towards him. mistakes happen, please understand.
Just another case of black folks being far to forgiven. One of the reasons he didn't help the DA was because she got fired over it and she already paid a steep price

By Pac-12 Go To PostI can't wait for her all white jury to side with her.It's a civil case though or do all trials get tried by your peers in the US.

By LunaticNotFounder Go To PostIt's a civil case though or do all trials get tried by your peers in the US.
You're right, a civil case changes everything. She only needs 7 white people in a 12 person jury to side with her.
