They traumatized a child for what? Those fucking pigs applied pain compliance techniques on a child. Then they shot him. The pig that shot him said that he thought he was using the taser. They thought that using a taser on a child was acceptable.
I cannot say on here what I think should happen. I do like the smell of bacon sizzling in the pan though.
It should be federal law that any police officer who can't tell the difference between a taser and a gun should be fired and never again able to be a cop. That's absolutely horseshit that we TRAIN these people and they can't fucking tell the difference.
They are supposed to be on opposite hips also, so that excuse IMO is bunk anyway
2 guesses which one they carry on their dominant side.
For breaking a window, not assaulting someone with a deadly weapon, a broken window. Why wasn't that a "where do you live? We need to speak with a parent or guardian" situation? Why are cops "arresting" a 14 yr old on hear say evidence from a lady that "has it on tape", but never produced it to officers before they starting trying to cuff him?
Not even for breaking a window. For being in the area where there was a broken windows reported.
And when he ran, they shot him in the back.
Well, in all fairness, it's his fault for being black in the vicinity of a crime /s
Just saw this article yesterday, the US is doomed.
Police arrested more than 100 children at elementary schools during the 2020-2021 school year
Above emphasis is mine, and reading it makes me nauseous.
