That’s a great reply because the first thing the law and order conservative does is use fear to justify the necessity of having an armed and aggressive government presence. I say de-fund them and I have people tell me that our society will de generate into Somalia. So fear is the driving factor behind an aggressive and omnipresent police force. A police force that despises everyone who isn’t... Police.

You shot him by accident, OK, it’s an accident. But such an intentional effort to ensure he dies may qualify as murder, if not manslaughter. If they’d called an ambulance after the mistake of shooting the wrong guy, it’s a minor lawsuit. Intentionally trying to kill him so there are fewer witnesses to a cover up, that’s evil.
These cops should spend the rest of their lives in jail, if not be executed for murder.

obstruction of justice, accessory after-the-fact, attempted murder (several counts: shooting, moving the wounded man, WTF was that with putting him on the hood?). I'd go for life but even 1 year in general population will seem like a lifetime to them.

and if you do call 9-1-1, make sure to leave the phone off the hook!

If they commit crimes wearing the badge, it makes citizens not only trust them less but trust them less than regular crooks and thieves. It is worse for someone to wear the uniform to commit a crime because it destroys all trust in the institution, for if they commit crimes, other cops are incompetent or willingly looking away or active criminals as well.

A guy who robs you is robbing you, but being robbed by someone in uniform is also lying and hypocritical. If the police are to see citizen cooperation, they must be more honest and honorable than the average citizen.

So, what happened to the intruder?

My guess is he was promoted to Detective . . .

This is an institutional problem, not a one off “bad cop” problem. This stuff happens in big cities and small all over the Country. Yet people continue to ask for more and more intrusive laws to keep them safe.

Are you saying the cops love to shoot dogs, using any excuse whatsoever to do so?

I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked.

It is more likely that they will get some sort of department commendation.

One more group of LEOs seeking JBT status.

As I recall, it was the Phoenix office of the FBI that got caught with a very embarrassing little booklet painting conservatives, patriots and constitutionalists as potential terrorists or some such nonsense.

Looks like Arizona can use a good housecleaning. While they're at it, please include McCain in the clean-up process.

The Arambulas say the officers later dragged Anthony onto gravel, then put him on top of the hot hood of a squad car, and "drove the squad car down the street with Tony lying on top, writing in pain."

Huh?

Somewhat related

The Altamonte Springs Florida police force finally fired the buffoon (Master Policeman Maupin) that put 2 people in the hospital due to his 104 mph joyride while on duty and outside his jurisdiction that ended in him rear ending a Honda stopped at a light..

One person recovered but will no doubt have problems later in life from the crash ,, the other person is still in a COMA a year later..

Oh ,, the penalty for destroying 2 lives you ask? He got a ticket for not wearing his seat belt and was fired ... look out ... he'll no doubt get a job in your city next!

But then I guess that's OK because they really are better than us and we should all be thankful they're out there diligently fulfilling their ticket quotas.

This is worth several million dollars at least....

That would be a good starting point. Then there's the heads of the cops involved on a silver platter.

That would top things off nicely.

I'm afraid I don't share your faith in the Feds. They are part of the problem--a very big part.

The Feds are enthusiastic supporters of paramilitarizing local law enforcement. LEOs at the local level are bad enough already--they do not need any more JBT training from the Feds.
