>>> Memory card in mouth saves video of police shooting a suspect, then gun-harassing the video guy.

First they shoot a man
then
The police put a gun to man who taped it's head and his girlfriend's head,threw them on the ground and smashed his phone.
I hope to God they sue.This was unprofessional behavior by the cops all around.

cops think they're in a video game.

they have good powerups, but we have more lives, let's try to beat the boss

i guess apparently the guy in the car was shooting at someone or shooting at cops while driving, so of course they engage back, what is utterly fucked up and creepy is their confiscation attempt/harassment

1:59

THEY WERE AIMING GUNS AT THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE.. IN THE CAR.. THIS IS DEMONIC SHIT, EVIL FUCKING MACHINE SHIT. COP LOOKS LIKE A DEATHBOT READY TO AND LUSTING TO KILL

the police does not say that. They say he wanted to run over cops with his car (which evidently the video proves a lie)

also 4 bystanders have been injured

So based on the video we should all assume that the cops picked a random car on the road and shot it the fuck up right? End of story, nothing happened before that...just bad cops killing for no apparent reason...

probably from all the rounds the cops fired, mustve been over 30 shots

What those officers (and in this case...that term is used very loosely) did constitutes aggravated assault....or even assault with a deadly weapon. The couple that had guns pointed at their heads need to do something more than just suing.....they need have criminal charges pressed against any of the officers that placed people under false arrest, or aimed a weapon at people who committed no crime and posed no threat to officer safety. They want to play checkers? We need to show that we play chess.

There are two types of civil servants. Those who take the oath and seek the position because they genuinely want to stand between people and harm/trouble, and those who seek the position to obtain "god" status. Clearly, these officers were of the latter.

you're right, but the end is fucked up man.. that cop pointing a loaded gun in their faces. that's not ok man. the man filming was obviously unconnected to the incident, and broke no law.

man points gun in innocent mans face, man pointing gun is shot, cop points gun in innocent mans face innocent man hopes to god cop doesn't murder him and cannot do anything at all.

But why didn't he shoot him too?

get even

the backlash is a-coming. bad time to be a cop.

Those cops are heros! Every last one of them!

BRIEF, I respect your opinion, and have had a chance to read many of your posts (many of them pretty witty, even if in a cynical fashion).

In this case, my opinion has nothing to do with the car. Although, it is my understanding that once the car is stopped, and if no further threat is made to an officer....they may approach with weapons drawn, but have no justification for shooting a person who was trying to evade the officers. If they were given an order to exit the vehicle and refused, it would be understandable if they tazed the subject. However, the real problem here lies within the fact that officers turned their weapons on people because they were caught on video doing something that may have gotten them in trouble, or placed them under scrutiny. They operated outside of the boundaries of the law, and abused the public trust. They went from being keepers of peace to aggressors.
At no time should that be tolerated, nor excused.

wut

No....you mean bad to be a bad cop. Those with intelligence will differentiate. And trust me, there is indeed a difference.

What in the fuck.......

What?

Those with intelligence I didn't know there were any

pull your head out of your butt....geeze

I appreciate the comment and the lack of any name calling :)

from what I gather the car they stopped apparently was trying to run them over...I believe if you run from the cops then anything goes...but once you've engaged in a life threatening situation it's very difficult to turn it off...

The cop should not have pointed the gun at the video folks, but i hate nosy people, and with his adrenalin pumping I can understand his actions...he didn't shoot, thank God...but when a person is stressed to the max you really don't want to give them a reason...that's my take on it...

As soon as you get your lips off the criminals dick...

lol you wouldn't be angry some pencil neck pig fucker looking down his sights at you? lol please don't defend this pig, it's a stretch even for you brief2thepoint

LOL, look, the cop pulled the gun on the video people because his adrenalin was pumping hard from what just happened...at least he didn't shoot them right? Further, he knows that this will only make his life even harder because it will go on youtube...never push a person that is already stressed, it's just common sense...

I'm not defending him, but rather letting you know that being in that situation is difficult...it's easy to sit back and criticize it later, but when you have to pull a weapon to defend yourself or at least you have the adrenalin pumping it's very difficult to just switch that off...for anyone...

and the reason was?

oh yeah, holding them accountable.

.

seems to me that the cops could have arrest him. I didnt see the driver with a gun. They went to far pointing gun at bystanders. Throwing them to the ground and destroying phone. good move by the guy putting card in mouth.
