Disgusting. I hope he gets life.
No, life would be better. Death is a painless solution, while living as a former pig in a maximum security prison is going to leave him with PTSD, anxiety, fear, and hopefully plenty of physical abuse.
Maybe, but your idea for a punishment is a total pipe dream. He will not get a significant sentence…if he sees any punishment at all. In the grand scheme of things a family member of this kid finding him and shooting him in the face as his family watches is simply more likely to happen.
Also probably not going to happen but…whatever. Thats the country we live in. 3 years from now he will be cleared of all wrong doing.
Why? To have his buddies in the system help release him early but still broken psychologically to abuse the family who had finally gotten use to a new normal without the red marks from the thin blue line? To have that shell of an abuser go out into the world, hating the people around him for not understanding that his reality was enforcing the distinction between the elite alpha wolf first responders in life and the glue sniffing degenerate civilians that need to be protected from themselves - except now he’s not privileged. He’s now one of the people he has grown to despise and he can’t stand it. He grows resentful and eventually kills himself and/or those around him.
Slightly clickbait: Bodycam battery died
I was at least happy to see the kid survived.
What do you think he was going to use that gun for?
Edit: They’re afraid to answer, lol. Maybe when they or someone they love is a victim of gang violence, they’ll understand why we need cops to keep gangbangers off the streets.
How do you go and post a reply to the wrong comment, and then come back a day later and get mad with an edit that the dude didn’t reply to you anyway. That’s some impressive shit.
Edit: Or wait, did you actually MEAN to reply to that guy in the hopes that he’d somehow justify why they didn’t wish death on someone for having a gun? Because that’s frankly even stupider so it didn’t even enter my mind.
Oh man, this cop is in for a real threat. What is he going to do on his paid administrative leave?!?!?!
Officer Joshua Coleman chased and shot an 18 year old in the back while they ran. Then had the audacity to tell him “I’m going to save your life.”. This is the fifth (as if this article) shooting that this lunatic has been involved in. He was previously found to have bent tip(s) on his badge, which is something cops do to mark their fatal shootings. ACAB.
“I’m going to save your life” reeks of his God complex. He knows better than his damn government. And I wonder how long his camera battery has been dead. How many days.
I only know ONE police officer personally. And he’s a huge egotistic sack of racist shit.
A good friend of mine has an older brother that is a state trooper and I have heard him say … “… A dead suspect can’t defend himself in court” multiple times.
But I also my tenant who is a new state trooper and he is the nicest guy I have ever met. Maybe he isn’t tainted yet.
My father is a retired cop and a genuinely good guy. Despite that, he still listens to Conservative radio and rants about the rising crime rates and how the US needs to do a better job of enforcing the “rule of law”. No matter how nice a cop may be, they still participate in a system that hammers into them that the only way to reduce crime is more policing. It’s a system that perpetuates itself by spreading fear.
I work in municipal government, and different departments have very different police. It really comes diem to leadership and accountability.
In my last city, the police department wasn’t founded until around 2010. The city manager who hired all their leadership at the beginning was a black man who had seen bad policing in his day.
They started with the understanding that shit don’t fly. They all wore body cams from the moment the department was founded. They get most of their hires fresh from the academies so they haven’t been tainted. They focus on public safety and compliance instead of punishment (in 2023 they wrote 4 tickets between 20 officers). It’s a great department.
My current city is different. They exist to chase poor people and minorities out of the city. When there was a major collapse in a road, I (the maps and permits guy) was out there flagging traffic myself because the police chief didn’t see it (public safety) as their problem. They go to the"warrior cop" seminars and just meet every stereotye of the bad cop.
The rest of the city staff hates them for a million reasons, but primarily because they’re useless. We could just use the county sheriff’s office and highway patrol and achieve everything we need to, but instead over half our staff positions are wasted on police when we don’t even have a public works department or city engineer.
