usually you have to be selected for jury duty and there are 10 or 11 other people there too who can easily outvote somebody so it's a stupid suggestion. The police are doing most people a favour in this case.

BrooklynZOGHQ

yeah the dog had no comprehension and just chose to run right at the officer. Dogs aren't territorial animals at all either and sure if you miss with your tazer it's only your leg, you have another one. I'd rather not take that chance when when trying to do a days work, thanks.

modifieddevice

noticed most if not all (except the dogs) were white people.

Sameblamegame

If you can't handle an animal that only had one tool of aggression, and weighs far less than you, without lethal force, I don't care how kosher your actions will be deemed, you're a failed person.

To be so afraid of physical harm from something less capable of physical harm than you are is pathetic.

Being a full grown man used to mean something. Now it just means large enough to work for the rest of your life in fear of anything that moves. The world is a rough place, but the back yard where that medium sized dog bled to death was not an example of a rough place.

Cops also are dumb by design since it's a low iq job. They won't pay smart, competent people to patrol your neighborhood, so we get trash personalities that are more into feeling safe than realizing they can't expect household pets to know who they are, and should have non lethal counter measures prepared in advance. Seriously, dog's are such simple animals. Doesn't take much to distract them...

No this isn't okay, because if it is, then incompetence is something we are conditioned to just accept as common procedure.

This situation is an easy pass. I dog can't do shit for damage if you go into calls like this expecting pets. Which cops should always do. Lots of people have dogs. Not being prepared for a common encounter is incompetence.

Sameblamegame

Justifiable only if you accept the laughably low level of danger that triggers a lethal response these days as rational. You'd have to be inept as a man to need lethal force against something in which you weigh so much more than.

As dangerous as you can successfully argue a dog is, a human is far more dangerous to a dog. In no reality is it necessary for lethal force on a dog of that size. Humans have more than enough physical facilities to brush off a dog's aggressive advances in situations like this. Cops, and people in general all believe that everything is always out of their hands when things escalate. And while I am inclined to agree, it takes a real coward not to recognize their ability to avoid blood shed by using their goddamned head and body in the right way.

You shouldn't be a cop if you can't physically handle individuals (human or otherwise) that you have a clear weight advantage over. Not like the dog was armed with anything but it's bite... Any full grown man can avoid being bitten by such a dog. Kick the thing, brush it off, whatever. Don't shoot it, what are we? Made of paper?

teatime

These make me cry and I'm not someone who cries easily. It's the trust that so many of these people and dogs show that upsets me. The dogs are all wagging their tails at the officers, the drunk guy climbing out of his totaled car waves a sign of relief at the cop, and so on. I want to be able to trust officers. I want to be relieved to see them not afraid for my life.

I hope this madness ends and real police reform takes place soon.

Nothing but thugs for hire now and days.

It's always been that way. It's just more apparent with the internet, in lieu of all the shitty TV propaganda.

The fourth one looked like a possible hit. Pay some person to hit the car, if they die they die. Else have the cops finish him. Guy must have had some dirt or something.

I have on many occasions. I wasn't making an empty claim. I'm also not saying that there aren't bad apples but all that I've encountered were pleasant to deal with. Hell, I've been pulled over ~5 times in the last 8 years and have only gotten one ticket. Warnings every other time.

Hey_Sunshine

You know what you do when a dog runs at you like that? Raise your arms above your head to appear bigger than you are, bear your teeth and run at him. May not work all the time with trained attack dogs but every mutt, from pits to pomeranian runs away from me when I do those things, in a similar situation.

grendelbiter

They really really want to radicalize people. All these videos coming out right now.

BrooklynZOGHQ

exactly, most of the beastiality dog fuckers posting here who are empathising more with animals than humans fucking annoys me. I guess the cop should wait until the dog is on top of him chewing his face off like that dude in the white hat before carefully whispering in the poor doggy woggy's ear if he'd mind not eating your face.

Sameblamegame

You'd have to be pretty bad at staying alive if a medium sized dog is a threat to you. Maybe that's on you and not the dog who's homestead you entered unannounced. It's pretty likely on calls like this that you run into pets. Killing a pet because you're unprepared is not a good rationalization for shooting a dog. A human has opportunity to prepare. A dog does not. This is a human failure. Humans should be competent enough to handle a medium sized dog. This cop really is just a wimp failure.

BrooklynZOGHQ

you're obviously a retard who goes to work every day happy that he might have a part of his body eaten by an animal, are you? Yep, thought not. So why should this dude be prepared to roll the dice taking a bite off a fucking animal?

EyeRape

Because he's a cop. If he doesn't like putting himself in danger to protect and serve , he can quit and get another job. He obviously can't handle the demands of being a cop if he's scared of dogs.

Sameblamegame

Because that's his job. He's going to places unannounced. If you go to work every day unprepared for shit you're likely going to run into, then how is that competent? Would you go to work without gloves if you were a janitor? Because as a janitor you'll probably run into shit. As a cop, you'll probably run into animals. You also weigh more, and are smarter, and know exactly where a bite has to come from. Did you grow up in a city? Only people with no actual experience using their own body can feel insecure enough to ignore that humans have all the information and tools to make dog encounters non lethal.

Like I said you can rationalize it all you want, but in adult people land, and in my eyes, someone who can't handle such a simple threat probably shouldn't handle anything that is actually important. It takes a real ass hole, or a real coward to pull a trigger on a dog. Just because society deems certain behavior acceptable, doesn't make the behavior any less deplorable in reality.

A coward is a coward. Dog bite or not, people are conditioned to be afraid of a slight breeze, so it's not surprising you're so out spoken about dog bites and the terrible danger they pose. Please.

A retard would be afraid of dog bites. A person with a mind of their own can handle the basics of not getting bitten, even if a dog is trying to bite. It's not like a dog doesn't have weaknesses to exploit. You'd just have to be soft and retarded not to realize such an option exists. Probably because of the butterfly rainbow perception of humans that gets us to believe we're powerless and should never take even small risks.

the_magic_man

How the fuck does he "accidentally" shoot a guy twice?

teatime

Accidentally shoots him twice then puts his gun away and strolls up to the car? Nothing wrong with that!

Fahrvergnaked

Policed his brass, then neglected to report it, hmm, almost like he knew what he did was wrong...

darthskids

Can you do some more? I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.

4101043?

It's not like you could use a stick as bait for the dog to bite or to hold it away - I mean the Cop only saw that rare animal just before it tore out his jugular. He was defending his life there was absolutely nothing else he could have done and lived.

EDIT: /s.

They had a million other options other than to shot the dog.

Zednix

That is a great collection of disgusting murders and criminals wearing a blue uniform. Cops should be executed for murdering people and their pets when its clearly obvious they are disgusting garbage human beings. Cops are held to a higher standard and the death penalty should start at a much lower level for them.

Maybe nature makes people less crazy. Vermont is said to be 75% forest.

Fahrvergnaked

Actually, that is 100% true. I wrote some papers on it. The effects of nature on mental illness and mental health is scientifically observable. Schizophrenia and similar mental illnesses can be as much as two times as likely to occur in people who live in the city than in rural areas. Even higher if you happen to move to the city before the age of twelve or so. It's crazy, cities are major causes of mental problems and overall loss of wellbeing. Studies have shown that spending time in nature can significantly lessen symptoms of ADD & ADHD in patients already suffering from these illnesses. Ecopsychology, and Ecotherapy are fascinating subjects to me.

404_SLEEP_NOT_FOUND

Even higher if you happen to move to the city before the age of twelve or so. It's crazy, cities are major causes of mental problems and overall loss of wellbeing

Easy answer, lack of sleep. Without sleep, there are many problems the mind faces. Increased pyschosis risk is one of them, but also certain memory and attention problems too.

Fahrvergnaked

Ehh, I think you're very close, When I moved to the city I couldn't (and still can't stand) the streetlights, I think that it's very possibly the quality of sleep. But there's a stress in dealing with large amounts of people I'm sure, a stress with the visual and physical qualities of urban scenery as opposed to rural. Just seeing and walking on some grass can help. I think not being able to see nature or the stars at night is truly why these issues exist. The reason I say that it's visual and possibly smell and touch related is we can actually see an immediate change in brain function and stress levels in just five minutes of being out in nature, so a five minute walk will actually show on a brain scan. Urban strolls of course don't show these changes. Sleep might be part of the mental illness factor, absolutely. But we were made to live in the natural. If you like I can track down my sources for my papers when I get my work back from the professor. It truly is fascinating stuff.

EyeRape

It was a bad situation for both, I guess I'd need further backstory of what was going on.

You would think that cops would be taught that hey, you might run into dogs while your out doing your job.

I wish he would have tazed the dog or something instead of shooting it, a dog is property and I don't take kindly to people destroying my property even if its an accident.

But it's just wishful thinking and training doesn't always prepare you for heat of the moment situations.

Dysnomia

Fucking capitalist.

The notion that man must dominate nature emerges directly from the domination of man by man… But it was not until organic community relation … dissolved into market relationships that the planet itself was reduced to a resource for exploitation. This centuries-long tendency finds its most exacerbating development in modern capitalism. Owing to its inherently competitive nature, bourgeois society not only pits humans against each other, it also pits the mass of humanity against the natural world. Just as men are converted into commodities, so every aspect of nature is converted into a commodity, a resource to be manufactured and merchandised wantonly. … The plundering of the human spirit by the market place is paralleled by the plundering of the earth by capital.

A dog is a dog.

EyeRape

A dog is a dog, and it can be food too. If its not someones property and there's not law against consuming them then they are more likely to die. They survive by being with owners, they're entirely dependent on humans for survival or death. If the dog is my property, I can take action against you for harming my dog like if you fucked with my car.

Obviously the dog is an animal I was speaking in legal terms dipshit.

Legal terms are for dipshits.

I would say this is because they were given leeway to be harsher with blacks and now it's spreading to how they interact with everyone else. Combined with more cameras, it's garnered more attention.

Some of these aren't actually bad. One guy who "had his hands up" had a knife in it, covered in the video by a lamp post. He had attacked a baby and the baby's mother before the police were called. And the bankrobber with the switchblade. The rest of the cops should be charged.

MotherfuckingSausage

Fuck every single cop in these videos. If they're not equipped with the mental capacity and collected demeanor necessary to handle these situations, then they don't deserve the gun and the badge. They have no excuse to act this way and deserve to be held accountable, just like the rest of us would be.

Fahrvergnaked

My grandfather was a sheriffs deputy for 25 years, never discharged his firearm, drew it twice for felony stops as per regulations. He has some stories of some really hairy situations that he resolved completely verbally. Law Enforcement is not for cowards. You cannot resort to deadly force as soon as you get scared.

EyeRape

We need to completely rethink about who and how we hire cops, because this is not working. It's only going to get worse unless we do something, but there is so much division how can anything get done....we just keep spiraling down

EyeRape

If a cop doesn't want to put up with the demands of being a cop, they can quit. There is no excuse for murdering people.

Fukensmoken

The fourth image happened in my home town, of 30,000 people. Can happen anywhere folks. Link to the full video below; guy was driving drunk, realized cops were on him and tried to run, crashed (which killed his wife), then when he's climbing out of the wreckage gets shot by the cop. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qmK8Ify3vi8

teatime

Thanks for the full story. I had a feeling the guys, "okay i give up" hand gesture and the state of the car meant that there had been a car cash prior. It's never the police officer's job to enforce law though. The situation was under control, at that point, it was nothing but murder.

BrooklynZOGHQ

scumbag deserved to get lit up, fuck him. No wait, let's spend 3,000,000 on him instead to house him in prison. We have a real need for drink drivers that kill their partners and are not overpopulated at all.

Fahrvergnaked

Be careful who you declare a waste of life. It's a slippery slope to decide who deserves life and who doesn't. If you believe that overpopulation is something that needs to be addressed forcefully then why wouldn't you start with yourself? I don't understand this argument, declare that certain people are a waste of space that deserve to die and then spend an overly negative existence declaring that everyone else should die for the good of the planet. Life has an inherent value. Treat it as such. Golden fucking rule.

BrooklynZOGHQ

as if I haven't considered that already? Too busy being condescending I guess. Why would I start with myself when i'm not going around getting tanked up, taking police chases and killing my partner? You obviously fail to see any difference and I don't believe any life has inherent value. It depends on how you use that life. Fundamental disagreements in philosophy.

Here's a better question: Why do you support spending millions on a waste of space?

Fahrvergnaked

I don't support spending millions on a waste of space. I do, in fact regard some people as a drain on society. But it is not for me to devise or recommend a solution, and certainly not to condemn them. I am no one's judge. Then again, I believe in a higher power, and I believe in the sanctity of life, I think that's where we differ. Of course there's people walking around that we don't need. But I just don't see any way that we can define who deserves to live and who deserves to die. Who can truly say if someone deserves to die? And what if I were to look at your life and determine in my opinion that you just were not advancing humankind enough to justify the resources allocated to you? No one can have that kind of power or make that kind of decision, it's a moral impossibility.

TropicalJupiter

Knowing the man killed his wife shifted my stance. Maybe just shooting him was the right thing to do.

But your comment provides a healthy, adult, valuable clarity.

Fahrvergnaked

He drove drunk and crashed, that's manslaughter. Even if it was Murder One he has the right to a trial. That LEO simply could not make that call, He was hopped up on adrenaline and used lethal force because of it. That is not his job. His job is to apprehend a suspect for a trial. I understand that you don't mourn the drunk driver, he made a very stupid decision and he killed someone because of it. But that does not excuse the use of lethal force for no reason. (LEO's life was not in danger, not even close, his perception that he was was flawed and that needs to be addressed) This business of killing people because they MIGHT hurt you is driving me insane, yes it's a dangerous job, but you can't go around killing people because they might present a threat. Lethal force is rapidly becoming a first resort instead of a last resort. Also, I'm sure that the LEO did not know at the time he pulled the trigger that the passenger had been killed. I think that LEO should have the same use of lethat force guidelines that CC users do, they should have to prove that they were in direct and immediate peril or otherwise it's murder. That should include IDENTIFYING a weapon rather than assuming one, It comes down to the officer valuing his life more than the lives of others. It's a life, make double sure.

0fsgivin

not allowed to be judge jury and executioner. Sorry, you cant be a cop if your caught doing that. And he should be recieving at least 10 years prison in my opinion. That's not even "ok lets fire him" scenario...Thats a 10 years minimum scenario. With a generous plea deal if he cooporates fully.

Fukensmoken

Cop walked, DA said they were accidental discharges. Did you notice how he's looking around for his spent shell casings? Also didn't tell anyone he shot the guy until the next day. The cops went back to the bar to look for a shooter once the paramedics realized he had been shot.

teatime

Even more suspicious than the cop looking for spent cartridges is his posture. It's completely relaxed. Once he shots the guy? He puts his gun away. Clearly he was not worried that there was a threat in the car otherwise he would have kept his gun out while approaching. I hope the cop was ostracized from the community at the least.

0fsgivin

well problem is a guy that will get drunk run from the cops and kill his wife in the process...Doesn't have much in the way of close family or friends.

I don't mean to sound like to much of a badass but if a cop did that to my dad or cousin...id probably hunt him up and kill him. That said if my dad was the type of dude to get drunk and run from the cops with a family member in the car...Well I probably would not be willing to risk that for em.

Still a damn shame. That drunk driver deserved 10 years minimum as well...hell cop in a weird way probably did him a favor living with that sentence and the guilt. And if he didn't and the guy would have never cared. Damn, I dont know if I really give a fuck he got shot in the neck then.

regardless of all that, cops cant be judge jury and executioner...its egregous that cop got let off.

EyeRape

Goddamnit, I really didn't need to see that dog getting shot and dragging his legs as he tried to keep running away.

Goddamnit, I really needed to see that dog getting shot, because I didn't want to see it.

Fuck man, no reason to be doing any of that shit. You join the police force to protect and serve. If you're afraid for your life, and are not protecting , then quit. If hamburger flippers get the "quit your job, get a different one" spiel every time they demand a higher wage aka don't like what they do, then cops get the same treatment.

Cops in NZ thankfully aren't allow to carry firearms (they are locked in the boot of patrol cars). They are still corrupt. Cops are bad everywhere. In the US, the rest of the justice system is fucked too, making it way worse.

josemon

The one with the dogs really got me. Those cops are crazy and dangerous, should not be permitted to be cops. I'd argue that some of them belong in jail.

The one dog is running away dragging it's legs until it expires. Animal abuse is a sign of a serial killer. Why would we give these people guns and ask them to protect us.

Bad things happen. With so many cops, some of them are going to be out of control. What's more important is how the justice system treats them, and whether there is fairness. In most cases there is not. These murderers, these cops, are simply let off the hook. That's the main problem here.
