Police Beat, Taser, and Shoot Man 23 Times, Killing Him for Walking Down the Street

[SweetieD]

28. Incidents like this happen every week. Literally. Some far more egregious.

Most never make the news. the majority of time the police can cover up any of their wrongdoings. or in some cases the police dont even have to bother with covering up because they know no one will pursue any action against them.

Again, the stat is that 2 unarmed black men are killed by police officers every week on average. Those are the unarmed ones. So that does not include folks with any object in their hand, i.e. a toy gun, thin wooden stick, butter knife (all things people have been killed for).


Also, incidents where the person is permanently scarred or is left with life altering injuries or succumbs to their injuries weeks or months later, usually don't even figure into these stats. I can think of two, separate and recent cases in Vegas that fit in this latter category. (where the cops admitted they wrongly shot the victim and still didn't make national news and the cops are still on the force).
