Exactly what I was going to say!Sickening!
Neither could I, RR.Exactly what I was going to say!
I couldn't watch most of it.
I see that the 4 officers have been fired.
Hmmm. Facebook!I read that they were on paid administrative leave, not fired.
Now they need to be charged with murder.I see that the 4 officers have been fired.
I just heard on the local news that they've been fired.I read that they were on paid administrative leave, not fired.
it actually says that in the video.... but if the updates are that they're both fired,, then as far as I'm concerned that's the least that should happen to them. I'm really in shock, I've just watched a man be murdered... ☹I read that they were on paid administrative leave, not fired.
That is a popular defense tactic used by rogue cops. The officer who supervised the methodical beating of Rodney King also said "The officers were following the protocol & training they received." He also blamed banning the choke hold after then police chief Darryl Gates said "It causes death in Blacks because their arteries don't open up like they do in "Normal People." And transcripts of radio chatter that preceded the beating: "The natives are restless tonight." And "This whole street is like Gorillas in the Mist."In cases like this, so many times, I have heard these cops say that they performed their duties with how they were trained. If that were true and I was the D.A., I would also charge the Chief. But, I know better. Or, at least, I hope the Chief doesn’t support them. There’s no way they were trained with those arrest techniques at the training academy.
We recently discussed "Officers who commit misconduct being seriously reprimanded" on this forum after a criminal-thug tirade by another police officer.
These two murderers have been fired. Fired for committing murder.
Yeah....of course any regular citizen who commits murder would also be.........fired.
Waiting for:
"You don't know how difficult a cop's job is"
"We don't know what transpired before the video" (as if anything justifies a 5-minute strangulation)
"This is an isolated case." (Yes....to the ignorant)
(one of my favorites"Where would we be without police officers?"
I just heard on the local news that they've been fired.
Main topic missed.The thread about the officer who lost his cool and yelled does not compare to MURDER. And that's what this is; murder.
Where are the vigilantes when we need them. Heads should roll.You may recall several sadistic officers methodically torturing & murdering a homeless man - Kelley Thomas - for over 30 minutes. ALL of these perverts deserve the same treatment they gave their victim - a slow, painful death. Ironically, the victim's father is a police officer.
