What do we do about these motherfucking cops in this country?

120. There are a couple of unarmed people killed by police in Mass- read the article

On DU, if the suspect is unarmed, the cop is automatically a murderer and a racist too if the person shot was Black. Perhaps you have not ever said that, but as a rule, that is how DU rolls.

Heres a quote from the article:

"From 2008 through 2013, the number of people shot by officers and state troopers has grown every year. Over that time period, there have been 86 shootings, 67 of which were determined to be justified. Two were classified as accidental, and two led to recommendations that the officers be retrained. The rest remain under investigation. Last year, Boston officials investigated six officer-involved shootings, compared with 1 in 2012. State Police investigated 17 in 2013 compared with 14 in 2012."

67 of 86 are deemed justified. That is only a 77% good shooting average. Of course they are still investigating a ton of them...These are all 2013 and earlier- Nearly a year has passed since the most recent one. Why is it no one in mass is rioting because the investigation wasnt done thirty minutes after the shooting? How long does it take to investigate them?

My point is if you are going to be ok with them to take up to a year or more to investigate all these shootings in Mass, then you/we should be ok with that being the practice everywhere before we start to assume the cops are just on a murdering rampage.

We also need to remember the boston bombing suspect who was unarmed when shot. Unarmed is unarmed. Although I agree with their shoot- he was still unarmed and just laying there.
