In reply to the discussion: Teenager Alerts Police That They Left Their Brights on -- 5 Minutes Later They Shoot Him Dead [View all]brush
(61,033 posts)So we are to take the cop's word on this? We know by now that cops lie to save their ass from their own bad decisions.
There was no reason even for a stop. Guess that predator cop was just looking for action.
Once the kid told him his brights were on he should have just sent the kid on his way. That cop's ego couldn't even allow that his brights may have been on. What is up with that? Like he's so perfect he couldn't possibly have accidentally had his brights on. What's the big fucking deal about getting flashed because your brights are on? I welcome that when it happens to me.
Flashing to warn of bright lights is now a crime with this cop? Please! What a pathetic police decision.
He had the kid on his stomach on the roadside, tazes him then kills him off camera so we have to take the cops word for what happened. Those shots came really quickly after the tazer sounds.
We need to start psyche testing cops and hiring cops with higher IQs that know the difference between de-escalating and escalating a situation.
All this over a courtesy flashing to warn of headlight brights being on.
Hope the parents sue the hell out of them.
