Your "Protection" At Work

We'll here's another excellent example of the expected outcome of two conditions: 1) Cops investigating cops and 2) A conservative federal government and their belief in the application of law enforcement.

Admittedly the guy was probably a murderer, though far be it from our police officers to presume innocence until convicted in a Court of law; but is it really necessary to shoot a man 68 times?! This investigative finding isn't too far behind the acquittal of 3 officers for shooting a man 50 times...Including one cop who emptied his clip & reloaded! Ah well, at least that one made it to trial.

Look, if someone breaks into my home and I not only shoot him, but empty my clip, reload and fire some more...I assure you I will be arrested for excessive force. Of course, if you wear a badge under a Republican administration, no amount of bullets is enough for a bad guy!

Before you say "well, the guy deserved it, he shot a cop" I would contend two things: 1) There have been enough cases of people being released from prison due to new evidence to suggest to me that not every case is so cut-and-dried. 2) This isn't just about the shooting victim; this is about our para-military police forces not having to show any restraint with deadly force while at the same time wanting every non-cop to be disarmed!

Did you know that, despite all the statistics the Justice Dept. keeps, they keep no statistics on police-involved events such as this and other situations such as incorrect addresses for SWAT no-knocks, etc.? Why would that be?

I recommend that as long as this trend continues none of you reach for your proof of insurance too quickly during a pullover...The "sudden movement" could lead to your death by "acceptable police procedure."
