Raises new questions? No you dumb insincere assholes in the American media, we've been asking the same damn question and have had solid answers to why and how to fix this kind of bullshit for over a decade now.
oh and
Otherwise known as cops lied once again and they'll get a tax payer paid vacation while they investigate themselves and found they did nothing wrong.
Despite all the other problems (and believe me, I'm very, very strident in my criticisms of policing in the US), if it didn't always ALWAYS come down to this, I could possibly begin to understand the "well it's a really hard job we're doing our best" defense.
No, cops. You fuck up, and you lie about it. You got away with it for decades to centuries before there were cameras you couldn't control everywhere. Don't tell me about your integrity or about how I just don't understand the job. Talk to me about those things when lies aren't the go-to for police when shit hits the fan every. single. time.
As a combat veteran it boils my blood that cops here aren't held to ANY standard domestically while I've been in situations under fire where we had to wait for confirmation to fire back.
Call me a commie but I think domestic beat cops shouldn't be able to shoot at somebody easier than a soldier in a war zone can. 🤷
That's honestly disgusting. I dunno how they can keep getting away with this.
Who's going to stop them?
I figured out this game about 15 years ago when I read an article about a police car in NYC running over someone who had the walk sign in a crosswalk. Within an hour, there was a statement that the person was at fault because they did not exercise needed caution--this was well before any sort of investigation could occur. The police simply lie and the media reports it as stated.
