I guess you're allowed to record the police and call them names. Pretty wild scene.

Easy solution to this problem. Don't fight with the police.

The man continues to scuffle with four of the officers, even after he's wrestled to the ground. One of the officers is heard saying "Drop the gun. Drop the gun."
Then, at least one of the officers opens fire on the man, who remained on the ground with at least two officers near him.

- stander police procedure. yell "drop the gun" before firing. does the guy have a gun? irrelevant.pango
- i think he might have taken one of the cop's guns during the struggle.2002
- You can't just "take" a cops gun. Highly doubt it.bklyndroobeki
- of course you can... if a cop can get their gun out so can anyone else.Amicus

He was black and homeless...I am sure no one will give two FCK&$#

Did he grab a gun or was that just police bs? Is shooting him understandable or outright murder?...It's really hard to see from this mobile phone camera angle...

Call it victim blaming...call it what you like. But in the environment over there, why would you continue to struggle when you're outnumbered 9 to 1?
- he did nothing wrong.bklyndroobeki
- < Not saying he deserved to die for it, but punching a cop in the face is normally wrong dude.SteveZissou
- OK, if he did nothing wrong, why would you carry on like that? Stupid. Possibly mentally ill?BusterBoy
- Who the fuck would want to be a cop now? And fuck knows, we need them.BusterBoy
- could be mental issue.pango
- wait... was he white? if he was white then its gotta be mental issue.pango

What could be a potentially respected and relevant profession has been infested and transformed into the anus of America. somehow these positions of responsibility have been relegated to the lowest trash on this earth. I'm sure they could have handled it with more grace in their approach, especially dealing with individuals already down on their luck. Lets find more dumb fucks to give our tax $ money, to who they themselves deserve to be beaten for the assholes that they are..

There really needs to be some real training on how to deescalate a situation. Throwing violence is only going to make matters worse, overall, and shooting is just ridiculous. Unless there is an imminent danger to people, lethal force is inexcusable.
If a police offer can only kill to "solve" a situation, how is that any good for anyone? Certainly doesn't make anyone respect or trust the police. I'd be surprised if these acts don't continue to make more of a divide and cause more violence.
- I think it would be possible with people who have capacity to think and feel like humans.yurimon
- I think most of it is training. Budget cuts and lack of education/training is behind most of theseformed
- maybe. if you compare cops now to older gen. seems like shedding of brain cells in comparison.yurimon
- seems like the cops of today would only find jobs as bouncers at strip clubs if that.yurimon
- maybe work in a pizza shop,yurimon
- maybe, but that's society's fault and still an issue of education and trainingformed
- I think these guys become cops so that they CAN kill.monospaced

The police profession is a bit of a quagmire.
It's kind of funny when people like yurimon condemn the profession ... basically saying Police need to be better than the rest of humanity, work a very difficult job, and make little money doing it.
The job is what the government makes it. It should, ideally, incorporate elements of medical and social work, and pay much better. But it doesn't. So you get the only people who are willing to take on such a job for the quality of pay and training, and this is what you end up with.
- "Little" money is relevant. Chief at UCONN made $250k to protect a college (and no town)formed
- ex gf was making $100k, tooformed
- Uconn isn't LA.futuremongolian

Are these the same police that pull you over for going through a stop sign or are those a different level?
