Again...without knowing shit about hit, you already have them condemned. they were put on trial...and they were acquitted. Probably because the trial involved more than a headline and 12 judgemental pricks with a personal axe to grind.
But aren’t you the one who says you don’t know enough but have all these opinions on how the arrested man is supposed to act while under the influence of drugs. You can’t have it both ways
So the police just aren’t trained well enough. I agree. It was a bad arrest by bad cops
Being voluntarily intoxicated is not an excuse for criminal behaviour.
He could breathe just fine
Yes, because the law requires it
I wouldn’t resist enough to get hobbled in the first place
We permit this because of tough on crime ideology.
To be fair to cops... they are getting a lot better. A lot. I still watch the 1st Amendment Auditors videos and they find themselves dealing with bad cops less and less and chill cops more and more... who knows how the cops are out on the beat though... and too many departments are still out of control and do not have bodycams, etc.
Because we deliberately hire the least intelligent and pay them cheaply. Also we emphasize law enforcement rather than keeping the peace. An officer should know the law they are enforcing should they go that route, they should also shrive to NOT arrest people except were it is CLEARLY warranted as in the persons in question are a clear and present danger to others or by court order. Otherwise it should be cite and go if even that. Doing this along with a policy of supporting self defense aggressively will go a long way in bring support of the public back. Chaining people up should be for no less than VERY good substantive reason.
I am a cop. I know my fellow cops. Some of them have rage issues. Loads of adrenaline makes that worse. Those police officers should be moved to the property locker or community outreach.
Sometimes there are moments where there are no guarantees. You get the police you put up with.
Philandro Castile.
I seem to remember an incident in Chelsea where a young man called the police on a trespasser. When they arrived they found that the trespasser had left, so they maced the young man who called until he died. This was about a week after the big London riots over police misbehavior.
I would also add that many are power hungry jerks
Philando Castile did not live long enough to get beat up. the scared cop fired at nothing more than the fear castile might pull the gun out, which weapon castile announced to the cop he had in the car and that he was not reaching for it. the cop did not wait to see that he was not reaching for it
Your claims suggest the opposite is true.
Who said it was. But an intoxicated person should not be abused by the police either
I too am glad that the lynch mob failed to harm these officers. But I think we need to curtail restraining suspects in a prone position. It appears that restraining people in a prone position can lead to them dying.
Nonsense. Sometimes police officers are required to use force.
I don't believe them.
I don't believe that that is what happened.
How exactly should police officers confront people who violently resist them??
Nothing wrong with complaining about an unjust verdict.
Police officers can't afford to wait and see if "what someone is reaching for" is a gun or not.
That is incorrect. Philando Castile disregarded multiple commands, delivered with increasing urgency and intensity, to stop reaching for whatever object he was reaching for.
I said hen and still believe that Yanez...the cop that shot Castile..should have been convicted. Bad shoots are bad shoots. The fear of the officer doesnt negate the bad action.
QI has nothing to do with charges. Don’t write if you’re ignorant of the topic
Good for you. Then again your police basically shrug their shoulder at Paki grooming gangs and do nothing about them so maybe I don’t care to follow your example. Nor is it really a national tragedy when non compliant criminal suspects die in the course of resisting police
Why should he have been convicted? People (police officers included) have the right to defend themselves from a credible threat.
Philando Castile did not present a credible threat. He was a law abiding citizen, a legal concealed carry holder, informed the officer that he was and gave the officer no reason to fear for his life. I'm very pro law enforcement, but being pro law enforcement does NOT mean we should absolve law enforcement of their responsibilities. Yanez killed a man not for the mans action but his own fears. That requires accountability...even from good people that **** up. .
