Manshoon11 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Luckily we have cameras everywhere (phones, etc). This is our only ammunition against these animals. Remember, they can't just detain and put you in hand cuffs. They have to brutally beat/kill you. Just ask Kelly Thomas. 5 cops couldn't simply hand cuff and place 1 person in the back of a cop car? http://reason.com/reasontv/2014/02/13/police-shoot-kill-80-year-old So they suspect someone of being a drug distributor and they need to raid your house like Osama's compound in Pakistan?!?!? you may not agree with the legal situation of certain drugs, but can you really agree with the military raids because one chooses to use pot, meth etc instead of alcohol (except in the link the police's suspicions were unfounded) The police's new tactics ESCALATE these confrontations.

Kitcat Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Sickening. Impossible to see how so many officers who were armed to the teeth could have felt threatened by this guy. And they videoed themselves doing it. So they obviously saw nothing wrong. The vid is on its way to being viral, don't see how the cops sweep this under the rug, tho wldnt be surprised if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlumba81 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Those guys play too many video games with that "booyah!" comment after shooting the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTexasS2K Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I can't believe they have that posted on Youtube. That was murder out and out and they will get away with it. It will get worse as time goes on. We are entering a police state. Even in Tx they are putting up road blocks and checking papers and vehicle contents by TSA agents and homeland security. Totally violating the constitution. No border within 250 miles of the roadblocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, they might waste some of your time, but it only can go on if we don't exercise our rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTexasS2K Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Manshoon that should be the way it is. You can explain your rights remind them that the fourth amendment protects you from unreasonable search and seizure unless they have probable cause and a valid warrant till your blue in the face. They will just bust your window and out and arrest you for failing to follow lawful orders. Then you waste all your money fitting it in court which is just as corrupt. Two years and hundred grand later they will dismiss the charges . They know most people comply out of fear. They use government money and attorneys to drag you thru the system. They feel they have permission to violate your rights because the Patriot Act and National Defense Authorization Act gives them the permission. NSA doesn't have the right to listen to you're phone calls and monitor your emails either, but they have doing it for years. Our rights have been taken they just haven't told you yet. Its death by a thousand cuts they do a little at a time so that you don't complain to much. Then they indoctrinate our kids, and give them a poor education so they think its completely normal that the perverted convicted child molester grouping them in the airport boarding line is just a way of life in the USA. We are in serious trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manshoon11 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'd just recommend at least knowing what your rights are. Even if you plan on complying with their demands for ID and questions. Many agents of government are not our friends and are only looking to make our day much much worse. Just think about it........ one day they are at home beating their women, and a couple months of police academy and suddenly they are the arbiter of truth.

Kitcat Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Both of my mid-20's sons have been stopped and harrassed by cops on recent trips across the country. Each time the stop lasted 1+ hours, no partiicular reason given. All luggage seached, sniffer dogs brought in, cars (a Prius and an Accord) thoroughly searched.Both were let off, grugingly, by the disappointed troopers. Both survived intact because the didn't inform the cops of their rights being violated. Instead, they did what their mother and I (both lawyers) trained them to do when interacting with the police: cooperate, be polite, do not question them or their motives, give them the finger after they are out of sight.

seschm1234 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Just plain murder. I used to train some cops in grappling techniques. Of the 10 or so I got to know i trusted 1. I've talked to my son about this, never trust them but do as they ask regardless of how unjust it seems at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon W. Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The video I watched showed the man being shot with bean bags. They didn't kill him. They don't usually handcuff bodies. Seems like an incorrect video title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an incorrect video title. at 45 seconds in the video they shoot him with 6 bullets. You can also see the camera man's rifle shooting the last 3 of those rounds. He is not carrying a bean bag gun now is he..... at 1:15 you can see the actual bean bag gun...... quite a bit different, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At around the same time (1:15-1:16), you can actually hear one of the officers yell bean bag a couple of times and then fire. First rounds were definitely not bean bag rounds. You can see the spent casings eject from the cameraman's weapon as he fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rx7locost Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yep first shot with bullets, then shot with bean bags when he didn't respond. The homeless guy was reported to have died at the hospital. Blood can be seen on the rock under his head when they were cuffing him. It was a sad day all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
