THE POLICE PROBLEM

US police's laughable incompetence is usually hilarious entertainment us outside of the US, but this one is incredibly tragic and heartbreaking.

This is ridiculous for any country, let alone the top economy in the world. They're like toddlers with guys. Even veterans conduct themselves in an amateur and grossly negligent way. There is honestly no way to shame the US police uniform to the entire world more than it already has been, though.

The passive voice writing in this article is as usual playing defense for the police.

Independence police’s response to that 911 call ended with the shooting death of Pike, 34, and her two month old daughter, Destinii Hope. Let me rephrase this in a less passive way. The response to that 911 call from the independence police officer ended with him shooting Pike, 34 and her two month old daughter, Destinii Hope, to death.

I'm not implying this specific author or newspaper are writing in this style out of malice. I think this is part of a problem with the culture in journalism, because most articles on police violence are written this way.

*Looks at Russian police*

Well, it only breaks legs and beats pregnant. There is a room for worsement.

I tought this was on the onion

The USA never heard of tasers?

I mean you shouldn't tase everyone but at least if you shoot someone with it at least they are taken out of the equation with a high chance of survival.

New form of jury nullification: "We, the jury, want to sentence this bastard cop to the death penalty even though the spineless prosecutor is not asking for it."

I swear, cops will shoot anything that moves, and then anything that doesn't, and then anything else.

I see some nasty comments on here. So I will add mine adjusted to the popo. The popo are basically criminal goons contracted by the city to ruin brown and black people's lives. Every single day there's gotta be some but of news where they end one of our brothers or sisters lives. Why do we let them do that to us?

Sure there are bad people who need to be in jail. Trump for example. But only the regular folks like you and I get to go to jail. Only our lives can be ruined. Touch the glass ceiling for long enough and you get to be slammed teeth first into the pavement for a supposed traffic violation which ended up with some baggies full of funny powder. Those fucking assholes are everywhere. It's time to abolish the police and instead enforce some sort of social help.

Are we expected to see Soros-funded riots again? Will CHAZ/CHOP pop-up in Seattle again?

The ONLY way this could have been Prevented was if that BABY Had a Gun and shot FIRST! But of Course if you Shoot a Cop you Deserve Death so there's LITERALLY NO WAY for this 2 Month Old Baby to have ended up Alive (In America!)!

No shit she reached for a knife. She had every right to stab that officer to death after he blew her baby's brains out right in front of her.

Let's have a round of applause for the "good" guy with the gun.

Oh wait, ACAB. Especially this one. Can't wait till we collectively forget about it so the PIIT crew (or whatever they call themselves, I'm not going back) can clean up by sweeping it all under the rug.

My dad used to use this technique to settle disputes: "if you are gonna fight over it, neither of you can have it!"

Though I don't recall him ever shooting a baby in the face so maybe these cops need more training.

Or some fucking lead to their own foreheads.

Is that too far? No. No I don't think it is.

The officer who fired his weapon was “a long-tenured veteran of law enforcement,” Dustman said.

So who else has he murdered in cold blood?

"On administrative leave", Jesus fucking christ, fire and prosecute those fuck heads. This is well beyond gross negligence.

Greenfield believes police could have used different methods to de-escalate the situation.

No effing shit Sherlock

Jesus christ. ACAB
