    This just demonstrates that any black man has much to fear if in proximity to white police.

    This cop just walked up and shot the black off-duty cop without any cause or warning.

    Here comes another $1 million plus settlement for cop's black prejudice.

    Black lives matter.

    For me this is not about "Black Lives Matter" and more about "NRA Lies Matter"
    I cannot think of a case the underscores the futility and the misleading myth of the "Good Guy with a Gun"

    If police officers, who were colleagues and co-workers with this man could not tell friend from foe then how is the average civilian to do so?

    Another impulsive cop that saw an armed civilian walking towards cops while responding to a call about a car chase with armed men.

    So much fine detail that the article doesn't explain, but makes a hell of a lot more difference than race.

    Why Black people thinking putting on a badge somehow makes them white is beyond me. The badge is "Blue" not White.

    Pretty racist to assume the race of the shooting-officer. :( Pretty racist to bring race into this at all.

    The cop's oath does not say he can walk up and shoot anyone he chooses for any reason he chooses. Cops are trigger happy in the presence of blacks.

    Oh yes, and we all remember how that required full committal of Jake Sully to be accepted.

    What does that have to do with an off-duty Black cop being shot by another cop?

    Typical. A cop can get away with shooting someone because they're little ***** ****s, afraid of a fart in the wind.

    I've said it before, years and years ago - this is a constitutionally armed republic. The police need to be trained to adequately handle not only the armed public, but themselves. They do NOT have a right to simply shoot someone because they are afraid. ****ing snowflake cucks, one and all.

    This is just another example in a long list of egregious police assaults. When the judge, politicians and lawyers work together to create a system of infallible protection for police officers the public is left with no recourse. It's preposterous.

    I wonder how long it will be before we read, 'but I was afraid for my life your honour' as the classic excuse, trotted out every time a black gets shot. I wouldn't trust these incompetent goons with a water pistol, frankly.

    ...when the public continually elect and re-elect terrible "leaders" (see: Baltimore) the system become broken. If the public cared teh public could fix things via the vote - but the public doesn't care enough. That's why fools like Waters and Pelosi continually make the required votes for re-election.

    Yeah, and that's how Trump got elected. Because people were too dumb to care about his lies. Only the pushed hot-buttons matter, and they respond predictably like Pavlov's dogs to a rung bell.

    Nonsense. Here's a link for you.

    https://www.cato.org/publications/w...anding-public-attitudes-toward-police-results


    Lots and lots of data there.

    Would definitely suggest that the people are asking for change, a lot of people are lobbying for change, and then we get Jeff Sessions and the moron brigade to undo anything we've asked for.

    Some specific points:

    84% oppose civil asset forfeiture: [​IMG] Americans oppose police seizing “a person’s money or property that is suspected to have been involved in a drug crime before the person is convicted.” When police departments seize people’s property, 76% say the local department should not keep the assets. Instead Americans think seized assets should go either to the state general fund (48%) or a state-level law enforcement fund (28%). A quarter (24%) say police departments should keep the property they seize.
    • 54% say police using military equipment is going too far, while 46% say it’s necessary for law enforcement purposes. Majorities across racial groups oppose police using military weapons and armored vehicles (58% of blacks, 53% of whites and 51% of Latinos). Most Republicans (65%) believe police need to use military weapons, while 60% of both Democrats and independents believe police using such equipment goes too far.
    • 63% oppose racial profiling, but 65% think it’s commonly used.


    84% oppose Civil assest forfeiture, but then we get Sessions.

    Tell me again how Donald Dump and his merry band of ******** brigands are doing what the people want.

    ^^ Why don't you like facts? Nobody is 'calling for a change' - people vote people in, and as consequence of Progressive/Liberal ideals crime (including cop-on-citizen crime) is through the roof. (shrug). Statistics are lies. 95% of people agree! Be smarter than the info you just quoted. Please.

    Give me a break. Through the roof? crime is lower then it has been for decades. Smarter then the info I posted? Nonsense. Be smarter then the idiotic cop sucking bullshit you're spewing.

    Our rights are being trampled on and here you sit with nothing but an uninformed opinion. Big deal.

    Waste of time, your opinion on this matter.

    In this case the cop made a big mistake. The victim is not dead. Killer cops usually shoot the whole magazine into the victim to ensure death on the basis that dead people cannot be witnesses.

    He's obviously also a lousy shot. I thought US cops are trained to shoot to kill? Looks like a demotion is in store for the poor chap, along with a coffee and donut embargo.
