A few months older, but in the same spirit as above: Police threaten to arrest people who mocked tiny cannabis bust

[Mongrel]

Medium: Cops shot a man in the back multiple times, claimed that they were shot at, and - after returning to the precinct - caller Shotspotter to request an additional gunshot get added to the log.

[Mongrel]

Incredible? No. All too common.

People seem to keep missing the fine print footnote to The Fourth Amendment which explains that it only applies if you're rich.

[nosimpleway]

Fourth. Fifth means you can choose to say nothing instead of possibly incriminating yourself.

[Mongrel]

Er. Derp.

I actually thought 'Fourth', but screwed up in typing. Not sure if that's worse, lol.

[Blossom]

Fifth is also due process, which this sure as shit ain't, but hey.

[Mongrel]

Well... WHICHEVER Amendment it is, it's the one about not being denied life, liberty, or property, without due process.

Six California police officers fire shots at rapper asleep in car, killing him

Stop resisting! Stop resisting!

NYPD shoot at a robber with a fake gun (and hostages) so many times they kill another cop.

But don't worry, it's all the robber's fault and I'm sure he'll get charged for it.

[Mongrel]

So... they committed the most basic of tactical fuck-ups, by surrounding a target and opening fire?

Why am I not surprised.

[beatbandito]

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that it was a ricochet at least, but I didn't see or hear specifics.

It's the NYPD. They're notoriously bad about spraying bullets everywhere when they decide to shoot people.

[beatbandito]

Yeah, radio on the way home confirmed that these overpaid idiots forgot the cardinal rule of police work.

i come from the mandelaverse where this used to be "don't get caught up in the"

Unfortunately they clarified that the cop who was shot in the leg was driven to the hospital by an officer, not just some guy, which was the best part. Also turns out he got shot in a spot that would've been covered if he was wearing the required gear for that kind of response.

It's almost like these guys don't realize blue lives matter.
