If the story is true as stated, the cop shouldn’t be employed. Possibly in prison.
I’ll give a cop the benefit of doubt but as the story reads the criminal was on his knees with his hands behind his head. The officer thought he had a gun and shot him.
That’s a bad use of force. You can’t shoot someone for having a gun. The gun has to be a threat. There is no mention the suspect was reaching for the gun. Every article I’ve read said his hands were behind his head.
Vallejo has a bad cop problem. They have a lot of shootings that are questionable. I get people need to be shot at times. I have no issue as long as it’s a good shoot. This was not a good shoot at all.
Thanks for this, a reasonable perspective, I think.
Well thank you. We spend a lot of money on policing. We should have a highly trained, professional police force but we get dipshits with guns more often. I can’t stand bad cops. We deserve better for the money we spend.
Why would you ever give a cop the benefit of a doubt? In being serious. We’ve seen time and time again that they lie, make up scenarios after they fuck up, and go out of their way to obscure and hide the truth. And it’d be one thing if these were isolated incidents, few and far between. But this is a systemic issue. One that they all either participate in, expressly bless, or implicitly support through their continued silence. This idea that we should take the word of those with a state-sancioned license to kill civilians is absurd. If anything we should treat every single thing they say and do with even higher level of scrutiny.
Because nobody should be treated as one monolithic group. It’s a small minded view of the world.
If the problem isn’t solved by the groups managers, then the problem is systematic and you can blame the entire group for trying to cover up the misconduct of an individual.
Dude, you’re sitting here saying that when the first part of your username is an AI in a sci-fi genre, that is expressly about how large corporations are aiming to create a single monolithic group in order to dominate the world and will use cops as private security forces to achieve their goals.
Killer cop is redundant.
Trudat. Racist, misogynistic, murdering, rapist, thieves aka: ‘cops’.
