Watching Live PD last night. Guy runs on a motorcycle. They have the area surrounded after he ditches. They're looking for him and one cop spots him. He commands the guy and he's complying. He's almost on his knees and another cop spots him. He ran, full on run, and leapt onto the guy that was almost on his knees. The other guy that was commanding jumped on him after that as well. Guy wasn't resisting. Guy was complying. Guy had hands in the air. Guy wasn't reaching for anything.
Cop after: "He ran and we didn't know what he was capable of. So we tackled him and restrained him."
It's absolute cop wank material. All of it. The majority of the time they are way over reactive and then try to justify it all. They have that disclaimer, but then most of the time they never really follow up with info, or proper info. "Guy was booked on blah blah." Ok, but was he actually convicted? Was he found guilty, or did you just over react and your "oh I totally for sure smell weed" was bullshit. I'm fucking sick of seeing that too. How many times has jackass said that only to find...nothing.
And then they say "he was following his training" when people get rightfully angry
And that's a huge part of the problem. That is a part of the training. They are taught to see everyone and everything is a threat that wants them dead.
Add onto that cops the constantly work overtime you got a group of people who are sleep deprived, hyped up on caffeine and ready, willing, and able to shoot you for looking at them sideways and won't be held accountable for doing so.
How are there so many men growing up that want to abuse people and get away with it? It's becoming a pandemic. Cruelty is becoming trendy. I'm so scared
They're immune to punishment for their actions, like the president of the US. That always ends well.
