Cop shoots unarmed man running away. Guess the races involved.
I am no cop hater by any stretch, but people are right when they say that had this not been caught on video, the officer would probably have not been so quick to be punished, or even punished at all. Knowing that, there needs to be a systematic review of police training across the country. We need to know at what point officers are being told to shoot first and ask questions later. Anyone remember COPS? Did the officers shoot quickly when the guys ran away on that show?
I know the best defense is to 1) not break the law and 2) not run away if you do, but I also know that sometimes events can conspire to paint an immediate picture that does not look good to an officer, and I don't like the notion that he is trained to shoot quickly if that ever happens to me.

Pretty sure the cop is getting tried for murder. What else, exactly, do you want to see happen? Sensitivity training?

I trust cops less than Muslims at this point

Most cops shoot first and ask questions later, not all of em but most of em

Yeah, I lived in Charleston, there's no reason to have white cops policing most of North Charleston. It makes zero sense.
With that said, races aside, police being trained/equipped/acting like soldiers in a war zone is the biggest issue. Hardly anyone feels safer (white or black) when they are around.

I don't buy this for .5 seconds.
They're trying really hard to get civil unrest fired up.

It is getting out of hand.
Police Reach Settlement in Shooting
In this story, the policeman was found to have broken the law when he killed the driver. The grand jury indicted him with a misdemeanor.

Very sad case all around. When I watch the video I can't even enjoy how silly the guy runs.

No. They had cameras on them.
Body cameras are the ticket. Cops need to be on film at all times, for their own protection as much as ours.
And police that take phones from people and smash them to destroy video, they need to be punished severely.

People should question things, especially when they're things that have monumental impact on the psyche of so many people.
This is so incredibly easy to pull off.
Remember, the government admitted to planning a fake hijacking of commercial airliners, flying them into buildings, and blaming it on terrorists -- all to control the psyche of a population.
Think they wouldn't stage a simple shooting like this -- knowing the incredible impact it would have on the racial tension in the country.
I mean honestly, how can people not question things more often. It's just totally beyond me that society is so submissive.

Hopefully his body is strong enough to withstand at least a year's worth of daily prison beatings before eventually succumbing to his injuries.
Of course, he'll just be charged with involuntary manslaughter though and be sent to a fake prison where he is kept out of general population.
