http://ktla.com/2015/09/01/officer-critically-wounded-dog-killed-after-georgia-police-respond-to-wrong-house/ It started with police going to the wrong house. It ended with a homeowner, an officer and a dog shot. Can't even confirm if anyone but the police even had guns ..... |

http://abc7.com/news/3-sheriffs-deputies-charged-for-horseback-chase-beating/965580/ I saw that news on a video clip some months ago. It was shot from a helicopter and it was clearly police men using excessive force. |

http://abc7.com/news/3-sheriffs-deputies-charged-for-horseback-chase-beating/965580/ Yes. Now they are indicted. But they are still cops. Funny how internal affairs works. |

Funny how internal affairs works. Here it's called "kåranda". Something like the US Marines "Semper fi". |

A man shirtless comes running up in front of a house, while two police officers approaching him. A police car is parked next door. Short latter extends the man up both hands. Shots heard fired and the man collapses down. A few observations: 1. The person that took the video sold it to KSAT for $$. 2. KSAT's decision to broadcast & publish online said video, first in an edited version (not including the moment of the gunfire) then the unedited version (including everything) has harmed any possible case against the two officers in question. It has seriously tainted the potential jury pool, and made it a lot harder for the officers in question to receive a fair trial, should one be warranted. Remember, news reports on this case have spread worldwide. I have even seen it on BBC... http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34122204 3. This video is NOT a complete record of what happened, nor is it close enough to state for certain what exactly happened at the moment the officers shot the guy. What happenedat the site of the original call (across the street) before the video started? What was the man saying right before the shots were fired? Did he have a weapon on him at that time? 4. Remember, this was a domestic violence call the police were responding to. The perp had just carved up a woman's head with a knife. Also, at the time, the woman was holding a baby. The news reports state that it is unknown if the baby was injured or not, which is understandable due to laws in place to protect the identity of minors in news reports. 5. The officers tried to Taser him first. Didn't work. The man was VERY visibly agitated on the video before the officers crossed the street to confront him, again. Did he ditch his weapon in the bushes he was next to, or did he still have it on him, because he WAS armed when the officers arrived. 6. Police officers in Texas are VERY nervous at this time. So far this year, 23 police officers in the USA have been killed by gunfire, 4 of which were targeted BECAUSE they were police officers, including the one a few days ago in Houston, Tx who was killed when the shooter walked up behind him and emptied the entire capacity of the handgun into the officer (14 in the magazine, 1 in the chamber). Not included was another one just yesterday in Abilene, Tx. Nationwide 23 (24) so far this year, with 4 months to go. Nationwide last year? 9. |

Police officers in Texas are VERY nervous at this time. Major being nervous is not justification to shoot somebody, the cops are supposed to be professional. You do bring up some good points but they do not address what happened. The person that took the video sold it to KSAT for $$. So what the video is what it is. Since his arms were up when he was shot your other points seem moot to me. |

Police officers in Texas are VERY nervous at this time. Very much so. Other cases and other times and other people are not the here and now. Reminds me of the nervous that the cops who dumped 103 rounds into a pickup delivering newspapers in the morning when they hear one land flat side down in a driveway and they were on a protective detail. Cops that are they jumpy belong on a shrinks couch, not armed and on the job. Oh, there is a second video of the Texas killing. |

Another completely honest cop ... http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/09/03/police-cop-fabricated-claim-that-gunman-fired-at-cruiser-before-it-crashed/ MILLIS, Mass. – Police in Massachusetts say an officer fabricated a claim that a gunman fired at his cruiser before it crashed into a tree and caught on fire. |

All too common. Yes it is. And now with the internet the public at large is seeing it for the first time and hopefully demanding changes in how police work is done. After all the public is the employer and has the absolute final say. |

After all the public is the employer and has the absolute final say. So true, with a police union buying a newspaper to be sure they do not report on police misconduct. That action to me means that more that 50% of the members of that union are corrupt criminals. So now we have the foxes guarding the hen house. |

Now on the other coast http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2015/9/4/2-nyc-jail-guards-charged-in-beating-of-teen-inmate.html A New York City jail captain and a correction officer have been charged with assault and other crimes in the beating of a mentally challenged 18-year-old inmate in a Rikers Island supply closet last year. |

After all the public is the employer and has the absolute final say. Very correct. And it wasn't just one newspaper but a chain. As you should know by now there are very few publishers left. |

5 facts exposing the media’s lies about police shootings I thought this was worth posting after Brutus' claim over in the American Election thread that there is a plague of police executions. When I read his claim it was obvious there was something wrong with his sources. The questions is, why are people being told this distorted lie and what is the agenda behind it?

BOTH sides have an agenda. A wise man once said that the middle of the road is a stupid place to walk. Reality Internet Personality |
