I'm a pretty hardened guy when it comes to viewing many troubling things similar to this - more so than I realize I'd like to be.
But the videos of this shockingly unnecessary and sadistic act just rips my heart and disturbs the hell out of me. I never need to watch again. The disgusting nature of it is seared indelibly into my mind and gut.
Same, that was brutal to watch.
To think, white people are protesting with firearms right now because they can’t go to a restaurant for a few weeks, yet they have the audacity to question things like Black Lives Matter who are literally protesting so they let not senselessly murdered.

We're in the social media age where the cops know that there's a strong possibility that everything is being recorded, one way or another (bodycam footage, bystanders shooting it on their cell phones, etc.), and these incidents STILL happen. Here is a case where the cop knows he's being recorded and he still not only continues to do what he does, but he mocks them.
Can you possibly imagine how widespread police corruption was pre-social media? Before 2000, let's say? There were definitely decades and decades of outright killing and fabrication of evidence at scenes. Think of how easy it would be for them to have basically had carte blanche before social media. African-American distrust of the police doesn't just come from nothing.
It's just so sad. It's getting really really difficult for me to just say "well, most cops are great, but there are a few bad apples." Seems like it goes beyond that. Like it's ingrained. Like it's not just some small minority who are bad apples.

As someone with a law enforcement background, I can tell you both then and now that when cops see a white man they only notice him if he’s giving contextual clues (dress or behavior) that would tickle their radar, but when they see a black man, him being black IS that tickle of the radar. _________________ “We must always take sides.

The crowd was PLEADING for the cop to stop for a good 10 minutes and he still murdered him. _________________ KOBE

Just from the picture alone and reading people say he was saying he couldn't breathe makes me lose all compassion
He should be put down like a rabid dog. There is nothing worth saving that I can think of.. he murdered the man right in front of everyone because BECAUSE HE HAS A BADGE.. and is a racist diseased piece of trash

Citizens Arrest is what should have happened. Someone should have hit that POS cop with a flying tackle to save the black man.
This (bleep) starts at the top.. obviously as Omar posted below.. ALL the way up
Cops need to police themselves properly and call out this BS or face riots and all the stuff that comes with them

Can the city DA or state AG bring charges and arrest the officer(s)?
One of the "Very fine people" Trump supports
More detail about cops policing themselves I mean other cities and states Police Officers Demanding charges pressed on the murderer etc.. I think it would go a long way to helping some of the community struggles and bring accountability

I think we all know that there are easily identifiable scenarios as to how that would go down.
White dude dives on cop in attempt to get the cop off the victim = White guy walks away in handcuffs charged with misdemeanor interfering with an officer.
Black guy dives on cop in attempt to get the cop off the victim = Black guy is the "deserving recipient of lethal force". _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

My friends and I call it getting a BIP (black in public). BIP is a serious crime and for many the sentencing is capital punishment.

So, I try not to watch videos like this and have not this one.. I read as much as I can to understand
7 Minutes?
On video the whole time?
I sincerely suspect this could be a beginning of some serious revenge attempts
That is Racial Humiliation...as DMR easily diagrams...
Imagine what they do when they can turn off the cameras?
Every leader everywhere should round those cops up and put them in a jail to protect them from what their freedom will cause the city
Panther Protection force or something like that?
Just wait til this video gets Russianized... played over and over on Facebook and other places. It would be so easy to abuse the energy in this legitimate outrage

Sorry, but vermin like that aren’t going to suffer by living out their life, even in prison. They’ll just spend their time in segregation safely away from any harm and will get to visit the miserable family members who support them. They’ll just while away the years convincing themselves that they are the true victims and they were just doing their job by getting another uppity black man out of society.
That cop and the 3 others who were complicit in that brutal murder deserve to go out the same way that poor man did. Gasping for air, pleading for their mom, and pissing themselves because of the horror and distress of the brutality. But we are more civilized than that, so a lethal injection instead for those scumbags is (bleep) gift to them. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I know that's a common way that people look at it. I'm not going to begrudge anyone for not believing in the death penalty. As I said, I only believe in it under certain circumstances. This would be one of those circumstances for me. Maybe if we started executing some of these murderous police officers, they'd think twice about actually murdering people. George Carlin once said that the death penalty doesn't mean anything unless you use it on people who are afraid to die.
Also, he might get preferential treatment in the joint because of his police ties, who knows. Maybe he wouldn't suffer much in prison. I don't know and don't care. I just know I don't want him on this Earth anymore.

The problem is that the death penalty doesn’t actually act as a deterrent. It tends to make societies more murderous. And it just lowers the society to the level of the worst. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

How much lower can we get? We've already jumped the shark. As I said, I don't begrudge anyone for their views on this. But I don't think it's unreasonable to believe in the death penalty under certain circumstances. I'm not saying to just execute everyone who is found guilty of murder. But this dude? Yeah, kill him.

Just wanted to point out that when peaceful protesters showed up last night to protest they were met with tear gas and rubber bullets.
Contrast that with the armed no-mask wearing yahoos that showed up with AR-15s in their state capitol building to protest social distancing and vehemently screamed at police from point blank range and were met with -- nothing.

And it's not like society has grown worse because people like Timothy McVeigh have been executed. I'm with you. Execution as a general tool of punishment for murder isn't a good idea (for reasons of false convictions alone). However, in certain heinous and egregious acts like this murder under color of authority where guilt is unquestionable, I see no threat to the fabric of moral society. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Yep. As was said when the gun toting white dudes showed up to visibly intimidate the governor in Michigan, the PD just sat there passively and let it play out and everyone said there'd be no way that would happen if they were black.
There have been a number of these killings where there were peaceful protests were met with over the top and aggressive responses by the PD that escalated the situations into violence. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know
