Americans Killed by Cops Now Outnumber Americans Killed in Iraq War

[MyNameGoesHere]

12. Recently my town had a shooting

of a 50 something year old black man with a mental illness. He was walking down main street acting "suspicious" as the police put it. He was actually in a full blown psychosis. Officers approached him and he pulled a knife.

"Jones was shot with a Taser twice and later was fatally shot when police say he stabbed an officer with a knife, causing a minor wound when the weapon penetrated the officer's vest."

The glossed over "fatally shot" was 15 rounds fired and hitting the man. 15 rounds! The officers were investigated and cleared of any wrong doing. Now while this is indeed horrendous the thing that really blew my fucking mind beyond anything was the local newspaper forums. Or the gathering of shit heads as I call it, overwhelmingly supported these murderers.

I never really respected police very much before. I felt they were a necessary evil. Now I despise them and every thing they stand for. I feel even more contempt for those that support them. I don't care if there are "good" ones, because when it comes down to it, those "good" ones will circle the wagons to support their murderers in arms.
