Good fukkin question. Locker room had a thread of an unarmed dude being shot cold in front of a bunch of people too. Civilians took a pic of the dude shot dead on the street yet cops said he was being rushed to the hospital to intensive care.

To be quite frank though...im becoming more of a believer that this isnt all that much more often than "before"...theres just a larger coverage of news via media and social media outlets as well as the overall capability of any event being recorded in general.

Police said it appeared Brisbon took something from the rear of SUV when he got out. The officer drew his weapon, saying Brisbon reached into the waistband of his pants. The two struggled and the cop fired, believing Brisbon had a gun, but which turned out to be a vial of pills.

dikkerson told HuffPost that the officer didn't approach the SUV before the shooting and that Brisbon had already hopped out to bring food from McDonald's to his daughter. dikkerson was unaware that a cop was nearby, let alone struggling with Brisbon, until he heard a yell followed quickly by a gunshot.

"I never saw the police coming. They said they approached the vehicle. That was not the case," dikkerson said.

This is why we need mandatory body cams on every officer. Not that being on cam will stop police from murdering citizens (RIP Garner) but because WHEN it continues to happen, clueless people that otherwise might be inclined to believe the pigs' lies will have no choice but to instead open their fukking eyes to what is really going on. As long as police can hide behind "we dont know what really happened" there will be enough naive people to give them the benefit of the doubt. But when they continue to lie in the face of indisputable fact, and they will - THAT'S when the shyt will finally hit the fan - which is the first necessary step to any sort of REAL change.
