More police violence, Cop shoots unarmed man midday at a busy gas station.

Seriously, what. the. fuck.



Even better video with some well spoken, level headed commentary right here.



This came up in the sidebar on youtube after watching a video pertaining to the asthmatic man that was choked out by nyc police.

Scary.


The trigger happy cop did lose his job, but it makes you wonder how poorly trained police officers are.

Anyone handed a gun and given the authority to use deadly force had better be held to an extremely high standard. Unfortunately, it seems like this is the case less and less.

There are several videos showing just the dash cam footage, but I liked the reporting on that second one one and how he talked about the guy that jumped the fence at the white house.

I'm curious, how does dash cam footage from a cop car get released like this?

I've said it before the American police force is a reflection of the general population as a whole. . Americans civilians kill each other every day and the police are drawn from this population so you'd expect a percentage of them are psychos....

From the video comments:

UPDATE: Though video was just released, this all went down Sept. 4 and appropriate action has been taken already. Highway Patrol Trooper Sean Groubert, the officer who fired the shots, has been fired and charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, according to Buzzfeed. Levar Jones has been identified as the man shot by Groubert, and he was released by the hospital after suffering a gunshot wound to the hip.

As if this is just an American characteristic.

Well.. sure seems to happen there a lot more than here in Canada.... even accounting for the population statistics... So yeah, I'd say a culture of guns sure seems to have a lot more gun violence...

[Seth1968]

Except, neither I, nor CanmoreOrLess said anything about a gun culture.

The so called "cesspool" goes WAY beyond anything like that.
