Shooting an unarmed woman who was just trying to walk home: just LAPD things
Shooting an unarmed woman who was just trying to walk home: just LAPD things
It was a "rubber" bullet, but still.
You're viewing a single thread.
It was a rubber coated metal bullet fired at close range.
You do not shoot someone unless you want them dead.
Shit, as prior military we were taught you don't point your weapon at anything or anyone unless you're prepared to pull the trigger. The fact that all the others on that line had their weapons down, but this dude has his up the whole time, tells you all you need to know about the lack of training of that individual.
Lack of training
On the contrary, these pigs are doing exactly what the people in power want them to.
Pay no attention to LAPD, we purposely trained them wrong... as a joke.
Pssst...
Its not just the LAPD
We put too much stock in training here, for things that should be obvious. How do we know you shouldn’t do that? I haven’t had any police training.
This is related to that “qualified immunity” bullshit. Somehow we let what could have been an appropriate thing turn into cops being above the law except in rare cases they were specifically trained for and there is existing case law. Bullshit. All too many of these look interesting headline cases start with “any sane person knows …” yet cops are above the law
Yeah, that was close enough to kill. She might have internal bleeding for all we know.
