there was another California police scandal that has been effectively swept under the rug. Jeffery Dorner, former police officer turned fugitive, finished off in a fiery clash with "authorities" in a remote cabin. Although details of that particular case are scarce there was the two Latinos that were shot up due to the fact that they were "discovered" in a truck that looked like Dorners. How 2 latino women equal one large black man I'll never know but the very idea that their truck was shot all to hell leads us to believe there was never any intention of bringing a suspect to justice, only murderous retribution. Similarly in Watertown Mass. it was reported by "authorities" that the fugitive Dzhokhar Tsarnaev fired on the police from his hiding place in the boat, however later it was revealed that no weapons were found in his possession. This points out that the "authorities" have a habit of getting into "unilateral gunfights", Indirectly It must assumed that this means they are afraid of anything that doesn't have a badge, and feel they must kill it before its truth can spread...
Bottom line is your more likely to get shot by a cop than get struck by lightening, or be attacked by real terrorists. Unfortunately for the college kid at Hofstra University, she had to deal with a home invasion before she was shot in the head by a cop. The cop fired a total of eight rounds, only one round hit the victim and was fatal. But why did the cop fire eight rounds if it only takes one round to kill an assailant, or victim, as in this case?
I think that they are scared, bullet proof vest wearing scarety cats that still remember getting beat up in high school for being two bit nosy snitches. I cant count how many times I heard someone in high school say "when I grow up I'm going to become a cop so I can get even with you bastards".
