There are over 400 "justifable" homicides by police every year according to the FBI and the number is on the rise.

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-10-14-justifiable_N.htm

Now before you say "hey, those were justifiable" remember that most of these reports are self reported by the cops that do the killing and the departments that lay these cops.

Also, understand that it hasn't always been this way. 9/11 and the subsequent Patriot Act basically militarized the police force. Combine that with the fact that most officers are recruited from the military that's been in two decade long wars and it should come as no shock that these cops are going HAM on civilians.



This story is a lot more common than you think. This culture of cops run-amok has got to be dealt with.
I'm not here to defend police. Great info.

My position is; this isn't some war on civilians. Is it an issue? Yes.

But, nowadays ppl have to make EVERYTHING an epidemic. That causes us to tire out and eventually do nothing at all.

Woah, woah, woah...

This link provides a much different story.

All these ppl sayin' they saw it and no one meantions/saw dude beating the cop with his baton?
What exactly happened?


Alamo Heights Police Chief Richard Pruitt

Cpl. Chris Carter, an officer with the university’s 17-member police force, shot Redus at an apartment complex in the upscale community of Alamo Heights early Friday morning on Dec. 6. The Alamo Heights Police Department is investigating with the help of Texas Rangers.

At a press conference on Monday, Police Chief Richard Pruitt offered the most detailed account of what happened. He said Carter had gone to a nearby Whataburger around 2 a.m. to pick up food for himself and a colleague:

As the officer was returning to duty, driving north on Broadway near Hildebrand Avenue in his marked pickup, a tan Ford Ranger sped past in a construction zone in the rain, Pruitt said. Then Carter observed the Ranger hit a curb, causing it to swerve left into the opposite lanes, Pruitt said.

At that point, Carter turned on his emergency lights to make a traffic stop, Pruitt said. Both cars drove a mile and a half north on Broadway while Carter, via his radio, asked another university officer to call the Alamo Heights Police Department for backup, Pruitt said.

That officer inadvertently named an incorrect street in San Antonio, and there was a delay in response while officials determined that the call was coming from Alamo Heights, Pruitt said.


Redus, who was driving the Ranger, pulled into a parking spot at the Treehouse Apartments, where he lived. He got out of his vehicle and started to walk away, Pruitt said.


The Treehouse Apartments are located about six blocks north of the Incarnate Word campus on Broadway.

Robert Cameron Redus

Carter’s pickup truck had a dashboard camera, but it had become unglued from its mounting after a cold front blew through San Antonio. But Carter was wearing a body microphone, and police have reviewed an audio recording of what happened next:


The recording captured Carter asking Redus to stop and put his hands on the truck, Pruitt said. Redus did so, but began to struggle when Carter started to handcuff him, Pruitt said.

During the six-minute confrontation, Carter told Redus 14 times to put his hands behind his back and told him three times that he was under arrest, Pruitt said. Carter told Redus to stop resisting 56 times, Pruitt said.

“There was a lot of communication,” he said.

At some point, Carter took out his collapsible baton to protect himself, Pruitt said.

Although there was “a very stark difference” between Carter’s size and the smaller student, Redus managed to take the baton away, pin the officer against a wall and hit him several times on the head and arm with the baton, Pruitt said. The rain and rocky landscaping might have made it hard for the officer to keep his footing, Pruitt said.

Carter refused medical treatment. But his injuries were consistent with being hit with a narrow object, Pruitt said.

“During the struggle, there were a lot of blows that he received,” the chief said.


Carter managed to get the baton back, and the struggle continued until Redus broke free, according to police.

Drawing his .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol, Carter then warned Redus four times to stop or he would shoot, Pruitt said. Then, Carter told police, Redus charged him with his arm raised as if to hit him.

Carter fired his gun six times, hitting Redus five times at close range — in the chest, neck, eye, arm and thigh — officials said.


Pruitt said the recording could be released at a later date with the district attorney’s approval. On Wednesday, First Assistant District Attorney Cliff Herbert said his office needs to receive the case, review it and conduct its own investigation. That could take months, he said.

“We haven’t even received the case yet,” Herberg said.

The day of the shooting, one of Redus’ neighbors told the Express-News he heard the altercation and listened to what might have been Redus’ last words.

“I heard (a man) say, ‘Oh, you’re gonna shoot me?’” in a surprised voice, said Mohammad Haidarasl, 22.

Less than a minute later, Haidarasl said he heard four to six gunshots.

Still, I don't think six bullets was right. The kid looks a lot smaller than the cop. And the cop got the baton back, so, dude was now unarmed.

But, that's a lot different than "A crazy cop fired off cuz he was embarrassed" angle.

:comeon:

u would say that about john f kennedy ? :usure:

I don't know Kennedy, no one does, in the film "The Butler" Kennedy didn't give a fukk about black people at first ...but what I do know is how many blacks fight and die for small gains of respect that's given freely to everyone else and a lot of whites sit idle or passively observe our struggle.

I can't bring myself to be emotionally affected by the death or misfortune of whites ...they built me this way, sorry.

You seem to forget what Kennedy was gonna do before he got shot. His brother continued that legacy and went to Brooklyn and tried to make Bed Stuy a place of equality and structure.
HE was shot too.
Both men were shot for giving a fukk and going against cacs. shyt, kennedy was catholic and most cacs are baptists.

u have no forgiveness if you think people are the same as they were when they were young and not informed. Expecially a Kennedy from a state like massachussetts.
