WHY do they kill, refuse to release video.

mass demonstrations about the police are permitted?  Oh, I know, it's all part of a massive conspiracy to convince the masses it's not a police state.  God, I'm so confused.  Then again, perhaps you are confused.

If you have statistics of other countries where police have killed unarmed men, put it out here to prove we are not a police state!

In the US, the true number of fatal police shootings is surely much higher, however, because many law enforcement agencies do not report to the FBI database. Attempts by journalists to compile more complete data by collating local news reports have resulted in estimates as high as 1,000 police killings a year. There is no way to know how many victims, like Brown, were unarmed.

So can we charge this police thug with murder?    The dashboard camera was turned off.   He had body camera and was not turned on.        

Here is a definition of a police state.  So if you had included a reference to The Patriot Act, the Koch brothers, etc., you could have at least made a cogent argument.
But you failed.

I doubt that police like shooting people, due in fact to the paper work that is required.

police state

I'm not sure about this particular jurisdiction, but most departments who operate patrol vehicles equipped with onboard visual recording devices(dash cams). Which are actually mounted behind or below the rearview mirror to the windshield, only activate when the vehicles emergency warning lights are activated, and probably only when the forward facing emergency lights are activated?

So your bullshit of not looking at the larger picture is clear or is that part of your capitalism belief? LOL

Don't end upon the wrong side of the law, and you won't become a cog of the criminal justice system.

So how does this really make any sense if you want the real truth?

I have been saying for months it's good and bad cops.

Michael Brown was a violent criminal who attempted to arm himself with a cops gun.

You really need to quit putting credence in idiots that post comments on HP. ...

If the body cam is turned off and someone is killed I think the cop should be charged with premeditated murder.

MB is on video robbing a store by shoving and threatening the clerk. He then, according to all evidence, punches a cop, tries to take his gun (god knows what he was going to do with that), then runs away, turns around and charges. These are the facts. And so desperate are the Democrats to rouse their base they make this thug a martyr and create a war on cops. They would have brought back OWS but then people would notice they aren't complaining about the fed diluting the value of the dollar to prop up Wall Street.

Nick is right. If you ever have a chance to immerse into a police state environment for a couple of months give it shot. You'll probably feel we're not there yet when you return to the States.

I wont be surprised when these cameras continuously fail because they will most likely be junk.

Young people are always accosted by the police. I know I was, because I myself and the idiots I hung out with would instigate them by doing stupid shit.  

I don't see anyone being made a martyr. I hear the word "victim" a lot, and talk about a police officer being "held unaccountable," but this is hardly a sequel to Emile Zola and Andrew Dreyfus. The immediate problem can be dealt with through various steps including rethinking the Grand Jury's role when it comes to police shootings and better training for police who by and large want to get it right and want the whole team to agree on what the right response is. As far as the underlying problem regarding how white people view young black males, that has very little to do with left/right politics.

all these white cops going after the Eskimos for smuggling alcohol.
when I was little I remember learning about the soviet union.  
I recognize it all around me today.  

You saw the encounter, right?

He was investigating a robbery at a Mobil station and confronted the dead man as a suspect!   LOL.

Some white kids are thugs. We would be better off just shooting them down in the streets? Is that what you're suggesting? Or would that change be a little to extreme for you? It isn't clear.

You know that does happen already. I'm only judging people based on their actions.  

As "standing at a gas station while black".?

He wasn't charged with or convicted of a crime, that incident dose not compare to my broad sweeping generalization of people who get arrested.

And based on the testimony, his scenario isn't unlikely.

That nut job socialists like WillyWonka claim are so great and then get back to us about how bad we have it here in the US.

I will agree with you about the Patriot Act, the Koch brothers? not so much. I will call and raise your Koch Brothers with one George Soros,

So how about Marx Brothers?  Or the Smith Brothers?

If a person acts in an admirable way, s/he stands out as an individual. When someone is obnoxious, s/he appears obnoxious in way stereotypic of their ethnicity. It has so much to do with perception and so little to do with culture.
