>demands these cops be put in jailI seriously doubt whether putting another person in jail is enough to un-f**k america.I would suggest to go and ask yourself why there is so much police violence in the US. In the recent Athens riots, as the police ran out of tear gas they picked up stones and threw them at the rioters in turn. Classy. That was a street-battle not a war. Everybody (in Athens) got that. The general level of violence all over the country is just mad and the only solution that the nation has is to lock up more people and "crack down on the evildoers really hard"?Does neither work at home nor abroad.Why is this story not all over the f****king news? Why is Oakland not yet burining?But behold if a nipple may become visible on TV for a zillisecond - all hell breaks loose.To protect the children. If I remember back the days when I was 8 or so I had no "problems" with nudity. The only people that are having issues are the adults. Wake up America! Shame Shame Shame!
This police officer hasn't even given a statement yet and everyone is already on his doorstep with pitchforks and a ropes. it really troubles me to see where our country has gone and where it's headed. i don't agree with this shooting, i believe it was an honest mistake, although tragic, a mistake none the less. i don't think it means the officer should walk away with nothing more than a slap on the wrist, but what is prison going to do for him. prison is designed for rehabilitation and punishment. this officer has already suffered more than most of us can imagine. he's lost his job his life has been turned upside down and now everyone and his brother wants to see him hang.how about trying to look at this situation from "outside the box". what if you were that officer and hypathetically (i did say hypathetically) you pulled your gun instead of your taser and shot someone, knowing you waited your whole life to be a cop and start a family and suddenly you wake up and it's all torn apart.i would guess you would wake up every morning having to live with the fact that you killed an unarmed citizen. this guy's life if f**ked up right now and will probably be for as long as he lives. i don't condone what happened, this officer does deserve to lose his job and does deserve to be sued civilly and i think the victims family should be paid accordingly. but to sit here and read all these threads about killing this officer and make him go to jail forever is just disgusting. wake up people! these things happen!
I disagree - this video is only graphic in the sense that you can hear the gunshot and you know that the kid ended up dying in the hospital. You can't see any blood or gore. The story itself is the important thing, and that has to get out to the media.
I am not sure how to respond to such a bunch of f**king idiots on this site. This has to be the biggest waste of time possible responding to worthless f**kheads who can't be wrong. Let me just say on my way out that you ARE ALL WASTING YOUR TIME. All I see is a bunch of pussies either completely joking lol brb wtf suck my dick or talking s**t about eachother's comments. And when you put it all together it's a big pile of s**t, actually it's not even that, it's nothing. It's time lost it's brain lost. And yeah, there are bad cops, f**k, would your sorry ass defend us from all the sick f**king weirdos out there, no, you wouldn't. So instead of calling them pigs, take off your f**king hat and say thank you for protecting my ass. Peace bitches $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
That is exactly how the law operates in other places, like Thailand, of which I know for sure. If you are in a position of trust and found guilty, your sentence is three times that of an ordinary individual.

Possibly because, unfortunately, that's the only thing that forces people to give a s**t these days.
