Cop breaks old mans neck

The old man was 5' 3" and weighed 115lbs and fighting cancer.

The longer police criminality is tolerated and protected by prosecutors and citizens the longer the abuse will continue. The officer did indeed commit a felony and was rightfully charged. It's despicable behavior on part of the State AG to protect this cop before he had to stand trial.

AP 12/5/24 - "Sgt. Joseph Gibson, 28, was charged in Oklahoma County with one count of aggravated assault and battery in connection with the Oct. 27 dispute. Body-worn camera video released by police shows Gibson throwing Lich Vu to the ground after Vu touched Gibson during an argument following a non-injury traffic accident.

“We evaluate the law and the facts in each individual case, and in this particular case determined the officer’s actions were an unreasonable use of force,” Behenna said in a statement.

Vu suffered a brain bleed, and a broken neck and eye socket and remains hospitalized, prosecutors said."

That cop is a viscous thug. He does not belong in civilized society, let alone working in law enforcement. :mad:

Kentucky police fatally shoot man after allegedly serving warrant at wrong home​

Doug Harless, 61, was fatally shot by police who showed up at his door to serve a search warrant​

Saturday 28 December 2024​

Police in Kentucky fatally shot a man after they allegedly served a search warrant at the wrong home earlier this week, new details reveal.​

Doug Harless, 61, was shot and killed on December 23 when London police showed up at his door at 511 Vanzant Road in Laurel County, according to Kentucky State Police.​

But according to Laurel County dispatch audio obtained by WKYT, London police were attempting to serve a warrant at 489 Vanzant Road – which was allegedly repeated on the audio at least five times.​

Officials said in a statement on Tuesday that while they were serving the warrant the night before, Harless pointed a gun at them and that’s when an LPD officer fired their weapon, striking and killing him.​

London police initially made no mention of whether Harless was armed, and then on Thursday, three days after the shooting, police said the man “produced a firearm and pointed it at officers,” WKYT reported.​

The shooting has left Harless’ neighbors in disbelief and looking for answers about what happened to the man they say was a victim, not a criminal.​

“He was a very quiet, humble person,” neighbor Carl Merritt told LEX18. “Stayed to himself, never bothered nobody. For something like that to happen to that poor man, it hurts me really. To think that somebody like that, especially in my backyard, being shot you know? In his own home.”​

Merritt and his wife, who live across the street from Harless, claim they caught the shooting on their surveillance camera.​

“Well it shows on the camera that there were police officers on his porch and they announced that they were there,” Merritt said.​

“They banged and banged and banged, until they finally made their way through the man’s door and with not even making it completely through the door, they shot him. I mean it was just that quick.”​

He told LEX18 that Kentucky State Police (KSP) now have the surveillance footage. The shooting is being investigated by KSP.​

It seems like cops would try to figure out why they are hated and executed in cold blood.

This how hate starts and results in discrimination and bias against a group which many of the individuals don't deserve.
But it sure seems to make you happy to turn a friendly forum into a convenient commode.

The hate started because the way of people act, and have acted for decades. Sorry that the rampant abuse of power and authority has come to light to disturb your little make believe world where the cops only do good.
Unfortunately many left to their own devices wouldn't commit heinous acts or tolerate such acts, but the police culture insures that they can't for many reasons.

It's no secret what's in here yet you're the one that chooses to come to this thread repeatedly only to complain about it's contents. As far as a friendly forum perhaps you don't take note of the many, many other divisive topics that are battled over continually, but this one happens to draw your ire so if you've got a problem w this thread the report button is on the lower left.
 
You know you that's not true. But frankly l question you know the difference between what is true and untrue.

No, thanks! I'm watching my fat intake these days.

No problem. l lost about 30 pounds a year and a half ago and l still have another 10 lbs to go so all you'd get is some skin and bone.
My dad passed away around then so that might have caused it psychologically. But l change my mind. l now notice l don't need to gain any more. lt turned out well.

You're right—firearms may have been a luxury beyond their reach. But that doesn’t change the tragedy of being left utterly defenseless against organized mobs. It's not about luxury; it's about survival. The real tragedy is a system that ensured they had no means to protect themselves, regardless of cost.

There is very little protection against genocide.

While it's true that there is often little protection against genocide, history shows that this is largely because those targeted had no means to defend themselves. A stark contrast can be seen with the American pioneers, who, armed with firearms, were able to prevent genocide being inflicted upon them by Native American tribes. Access to weapons doesn’t guarantee survival, but it drastically shifts the balance of power and creates at least a possibility for defense. The tragedy of genocide often begins with the systematic disarmament of those who are later targeted.
 
NYS Correction Officers misbehaving from post #111. No discipline, and no accountability results in more abuse, more ruined lives, and huge taxpayer funded settlements.

NYT 12/28/24 "At least three of the New York prison guards implicated in the savage beating death of a handcuffed man had been accused of participating in similar attacks on prisoners across the state.

Two of the corrections officers and a sergeant accused in the death of Robert Brooks, an inmate at the Marcy Correctional Facility in central New York, were previously named in federal lawsuits filed by prisoners accusing them of brutal attacks that left one man disfigured and another in a wheelchair.

A lawyer for one of the injured men drew a line from the earlier accusations of violence to the attack this month.

“The fact that they [NYS Dept of Corrections] failed to rein in these officers that they knew had beaten someone else is a direct contributor to Mr. Brooks’s death,” said Katie Rosenfeld, the lawyer. She criticized the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision for fighting her client’s lawsuit for four years."

For those interested I have another thread about a few cases where innocence finally prevailed:

Years ago, when the news reported the shooting of a police officer, I automatically assumed the shooter was in the wrong and a danger to society. However, since the militarization of the police in the United States and the growing disregard for the Constitutional rights of private citizens by law enforcement, I no longer automatically make that assumption. Bottom-line, I have no sympathy for thugs with badges who get shot.

Pretty broad assumption to appear to classify ALL cops who get shot as thugs with badges? Know that may not be your intent, but it came across as such.
