Most FL deputies are high school drop outs that are lucky to make it through day without shooting their pecker off. :coffee:

These guys make BDKDPSHT look like Richard Feynman. Probably scare the sh*t out of the range officer when they show up for their obviously badly-needed practice.

I'm not sure about you other fellows, but if a cop tells me to get on the ground, put my hands up, whatever...

Regardless of whether I had been up to no good or if I was just going to the store to do some shopping, I would just comply with their instructions.

You disobeyed a cop's orders and you got shot? Surprise.


It's not really a black thing. A 53 year old white guy in Georgetown, Delaware was shot in his living room by State Police on Thursday. A white teenager was tazed and roughed up by Rehoboth Beach cops in a video posted on YouTube a couple of months ago.

Good posts dawg and 93.

I would add, our police force is predominantly ex-military and that is a bad thing, for all of us. They're gung ho retarded fucks who didn't see enough action or get enough pussy while in the military and they're taking it out on you and I. :nod:

Everybody should be afraid.

They don't come much dumber than MP; its usually the last stop before they send them to the Marines. They can't even use them in the infantry, cooks, or mess kit repair. :ohno:

Amazing he's not dead. 15 shots and he only gets hit once...in the leg. BTW, this is the victim's account:
Middleton said he was bent over in the car searching the interior for a loose cigarette when he heard a voice order him to, “Get your hands where I can see them.”

He said he initially thought it was a neighbor joking with him, but when he turned his head he saw deputies standing halfway down his driveway.

He said he backed out of the vehicle with his hands raised, but when he turned to face the deputies, they immediately opened fire.

“It was like a firing squad,” he said. “Bullets were flying everywhere.”

MPs are usually highly trained due to them dealing with other, well trained soldiers.

They should have called Zimmerman. He was able to get a kill shot on the first try.

I don't think it's a race thing. I think this is another example of allowing police at all levels too much latitude.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

An innocent citizen of the United States should not have to "comply" to police orders. Failing to "comply" does not justify police getting violent. And we are all supposed to be innocent until proven guilty and the police work for the citizenry rather than visa versa. Police should ALWAYS be required to act consistent with the principle that the person they are dealing with is innocent until that person is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court unless their own safety or the safety of someone else is in VERY obvious and undeniable imminent danger.

If that would make things harder on police, tough. If you don't want the job don't apply for it.

Excessive force is used all the time by police against people of all races. And it's way past time that society drop the "police worship" and put a stop to it.

Absolutely a race thing. Police know damn well they can't fire on caucasions for no reason and not at least be fired, at worst go to jail.

Did we not just recently have a discussion about the guy who got shot about 20 times by police while he was lying in bed? The guy looks pretty white to me.

Image
It’s estimated that the two officers fired more than 20 bullets; 16 hit Theoharis, who was lying in bed. The officers said they thought Theoharis was reaching for a gun. They later told investigators they weren’t sure how many bullets they fired.

"I thought he was going to try to kill us, there is no greater level of threat,” King County Deputy Aaron Thompson told investigators during an interview months after the shooting.

Theoharis didn’t have any weapons, but both the Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Corrections ruled the shooting justified and in compliance with policy.
