11. The cops in my neck-o-the-woods

Fri Apr 25, 2014, 02:21 PM

Apr 2014

shot up a car that had just been 'jacked. The woman hostage & her 2 small kids were in it. The 2 cops fired something like 58 rounds RIGHT INTO THE CAR while the woman & kids were IN THE DAMN CAR!!! One of the kids was hit but fortunately not too bad.

Oh, sure, they killed the perp, but DAMN! They coulda killed that woman and her kids, not that it mattered as long as they lit up the bad guy like it was the freakin' wild west, right? The cops around here scare the crap outta me, no kidding.

Does anyone know of historical statistics for police brutality? WatermelonRat Apr 2014 #16

I agree that it's probably an increase in awareness. JoeyT Apr 2014 #18
