To other people here, I can understand technically "by the book" the lethal response of shooting the guy when he brandished lethal weapons (knives, assuming that part is true). But even then shooting the guy in the back, as he had turned away from them? There's nowhere for him to go. And I can imagine a homeowner being convicted if he shot an intruder in the back, like that.

Why am I not surprised the institution covered up for these crooked cops. This is plain as day murder. They have tazers, they have spray......but they shoot a guy for no reason.

OH HE MADE A THREATENING MOVE.

That's bullshit. I'm sick and tired of cops getting away with this shit.

Sure the best reaction is to do that but just because he didn't doesn't mean he was an immediate threat that required the response that the cops did.

Thanks for your input, Pollyanna.

[I]500 innocent Americans are murdered by police every year (USDOJ). 5,000 since 9/11, equal to the number of US soldiers lost in Iraq.

In 1994 the US Government passed a law authorizing the Pentagon to donate surplus Cold War era military equipment to local police departments.

No, not out of control at all:

[I]A Texas college student was fatally shot following an incident with a University of the Incarnate Word police officer a few blocks from campus, the Alamo Heights Police Department said.

Robert Cameron Redus, 23, was pulled over for allegedly speeding and driving erratically early Friday, KTRK reported.

During the traffic stop near the university’s San Antonio campus, Redus and the officer, who has been identified as Cpl. Chris Carter, got into some kind of altercation, Alamo Heights police Lt. Cindy Pruitt said.[/I]

And the Autopsy says he was shot in the back. Bravo, brave defender of the peace, bravo.

[I]1. LAPD Tracking All Drivers Like Criminals

The Los Angeles Police Department is looking more and more like the NSA with its unrestrained use of Automatic License Plate Readers. The technology allows police officers to collect data on all vehicles that their patrol cars pass and store this information for years to come. The idea is that the data can be used retroactively to place certain people at the scene of a crime or establish a pattern of behavior.

2. Kansas Police Could Arrest People Who File Complaints Against Them

A new bill being considered in Kansas would enable police abuse at a frightening level. The proposed legislation, clearly designed to free cops of accountability, is problematic in many ways:
People who file complaints against officers that are later deemed “meritless” can subsequently be tried for a felony. The implicit message is “don’t rat out a cop or they will retaliate.”
Citizens who allege wrongdoing must offer a sworn affidavit before the investigation even begins or an officer has to respond to the charges. Not only will this eliminate a way for people to file anonymous complaints, but it also provides every bit of evidence to the officer in advance. With all of the incriminating details at their disposal, the police department can better create a narrative around the existing details to excuse the behavior.

3. Stealing from Latino Drivers

The immigrant community in Suffolk County, New York is being straight up robbed by local police officers. Evidently, more than a dozen Latino drivers were pulled over without reason. Officers would ask the drivers to hand over their wallet, which would later be returned to them… minus the money. Many of these incidents went unreported for a while; as undocumented immigrants, some victims were fearful of being threatened with deportation for highlighting the theft.[/I]
