Needs some stupid codec. Honestly, flash is pretty universal. People should learn to use it on their websites. *downloadding useless codec that probably won't install correctly*Really? What browser are you using? Firefox 3. I don't know why I needed another Windows Media Player codec, because I go on other sites that use integrated WMP and there's never any trouble. Probably for the same reason that every few months I need a new silverlight codec. Mozilla would do well to offer those as extension updates when they come around or something. Anywho, saw the video, and that was absolutely unnecessary. THey had the situation under control and there seemed to be incredibly minimal struggle, and pretty much everyone seemed to cooperate. Maybe if the kid was being unreasonable(which he didn't seem), the cop could get in his face a little, but there was no justification for shooting the kid from what I saw.

The gun they have should be the absolute last resort and only if their life is in danger. Instead, the situation was under control, and this cop killed a man. The cop's life wasn't threatened. If the cop doesn't get charged for murder, I will be very mad...
its clips like this that don't make me feel bad when i hear about a cop dying on the news. I know they are people too, but i really cant feel sorry for this ******* pig. He'll get what is coming to him.

Same...I'm scared to protest nowadays. There are apparently no-protest zones in some cities now. And the LA swat team breaks up seemingly every protest that comes up with their rubber bullets and tear gas...whether the protest was peaceful or not.

Sad thing is...he won't get what he deserves because he works for the agency that gives out punishment.

Sad thing is...he won't get what he deserves because he works for the agency that gives out punishment. He'll get kicked out of the police force and put under house arrest because it'd be too dangerous for an ex-cop to go to jail for murder. *rolls eyes*

But I bet he doesn't even get that severe of punishment. I bet he'll get either suspended or kicked off the force, no more. I wonder what would happen if I did what he did...

I haven't seen anything that pissed me off that bad in a while. I hope that cop gets the death penalty, and I hope it's carried out by Michael Vick's dogs.
A cop shoots a dude under suspicious circumstances. What can i say, it happens. Im not trying to be callous, im just wondering what the fuss is about. Stuff like this happens every day, pretty much every where, no?

Same thing happened in Greece and the place was full of rioters. And I saw another post above ("stuff like that happens everyday".) which is foolish. Stuff like that may happen everyday but this is no reason for them to continue happening. Is this an excuse to stand and do nothing?

cba
make your own conclusion as to why i cba, im sure youll like it :)
thats disgusting and i have a cousin whos a cop and what that officer did was uncalled for and people wonder why african americans think white people are tyrants. even as a white guy i find that dispicable and of course being thats california police the guy will get off.
[QUOTE="Curlyfrii87"]The increasing number of corrupt cops these days makes me feel uneasy! :?Bauers-Twin
me too. I dont trust them, even the ones i know personally. It's not their fault. Every cop has to go through mental tests to be and remain a cop. This must happen every 6 months (or 4 if I remember well). If their supervisors fail to do that then these events are to be expected. (and believe me not every cop goes through these tests.) As far as I know their mental stability is like mines and yours if you know what I mean. (I'm not referring to all the cops generally of course.) A gun in ones hand holds many responsibilities and without the proper training (2 years long) people get wounded and/or die.
I don't know what's worse, what the police officer did or the posts in this thread. Officers should be treated with respect, and it sickens me to think that people here hate officers and don't trust them, this coming from somebody who's father was an RCMP officer (25 year vet) and somebody who is training to become one. very few officers are corrupt or violent at all, most police officers will do whatever it takes to avoid confrontation, and cops should be trusted. A few bad cops doesnt mean the entire force is corrupt.
On a second note, I think what the officer did in the video is dispicable and a disgrace to police officers everywhere, he will get jail time, murder is murder people, it was caught on video, so no excuses.

Mmhmm. I trust individual cops. I know a couple and they're pretty great people. That said, you'd never catch me dead in LA. I know those cops put up with a lot of terrible people, and to keep them under controls they can do some pretty terrible things. It just spills over onto regular people far too often. Like I said, I trust individual cops because they listen to you. However, when a riot squad is in formation ordering you and others to leave the area or you'll be shot and/or gassed, they're not so talkative or reasonable. They won't listen, because that's not their job. I don't blame them so much as I'd blame the person in charge of ordering those kinds of assaults.

Same...I'm scared to protest nowadays. armed protest... duh Honestly, one day one of those riot squads will break up a peaceful protest, march through the streets chasing the protesters away, and they'll run into some trap that'll kill and wound a good number of those cops. I'll feel terrible for the cops as much as I currently feel terrible for protesters, but when that time comes all hell will break loose, and it won't be the police who realize their mistakes and ease up.

You know that it is illegal to harm or to chase a peaceful protester right? That's not democrasy at all!!
(I'm not saying you claimed otherwise. I just felt the need to point it out. :P )
