Holy car for Sunday. Cops went home safe.

Then we the taxpayers should demand changes. Until then, it’s on us, and should be.
So let’s say I’ve been working, want to get home. Two guys in plain clothes yell at me, and maybe I’ve heard shots in the distance.... Why would I stop for them?
” he was arrested last week for simple assault for chucking a cellphone at his girlfriend.”
Cut him some slack! Why shouldn’t you be chucking cellphones at others? This guy deserves the medal and the cops should be shot instead.
If you click the link to the original article, you will see that nickcarraway cut and paste all of the text from the original article to this posting, but neglected to separate out the captions below the three images, which duplicated snippets of the story.
August 1987. All the editors were killed and eaten by the rest of the newsroom. True story.

I tried to.
Officer: “Your eyes are bloodshot have you been drinking?”
Suspect: “ Your eyes are glazed. Have you been eating doughnuts?”
It is a tough call no matter the race of the undercover LEO.
How about this: Undercover LEO's should be prohibited from using deadly force to effect an arrest or prevent the escape of a suspect - unless the police officer reasonably believes that the suspect committed or attempted to commit crimes involving the infliction or threatened infliction of serious physical injury witness a deadly felony.
Well, in any event it appears the USSC thinks that is the law. If these cops are unable to demonstrate they had a reasonable belief that the victim was the shooter (physical description, witnesses, etc.) the taxpayers will write a large check. Even if the undercovers were standing in front of the victim's auto displaying their shields they should not have used deadly force.
Ooops, talk about missing editors - scratch “...witness a deadly felony”.
Holy car for Sunday. Cops went home safe.
Why do i not believe philly cops when they say the feel terrible about shooting this guy?
Wonder how much of the story is true.
Right now, I’m assuming the two cops where black. Cause if they were white the victim would have believed they were cops.
Well, I hope he makes it. He’s young enough to turn his life around.

Yes, prayers up.
It’s interesting. I don’t know what the race of the police was, but the victim is black. Which was not mentioned by anyone this thread.
And gung ho undercover police at night should not be running around
without Officer gear on. This whole story is one big mistake.
Yes, I wrote that knowing full well the victim was black. Even if the cops where black the situation would still scream out “be prepared to fight or flee dude”.
If your a law abiding citizen working your way through college ... giving yourself some reasonable smarts who are you going to be more afraid of approaching you at night at the end of your cash carrying workday. Two white dudes or two black dudes?
This of course references the a quote by some famous black agitator who was afraid when he heard footsteps following him but relieved when he looked back and saw a white man.
