Video shows Tulsa police killing man as officer uses gun not Taser 'by mistake'
theguardian.comWhy the hell would he even have needed to be tasered?!
Even after he is shot, a police officer is kneeling on his head while another is holding him by the neck. How the hell can any of these officers be allowed to keep their jobs, let alone not face criminal charges?
Yet another disgusting example of police brutality.
It's absolutely ridiculous. And I don't get why this isn't upvoted more. There have been several much less serious cases been recently on the front page.
I guess HN voting is simply tilted all the way. (Note to myself: Need more fake accounts)
I suppose when you see this kind of thing so often it's possible for many people to become apathetic, conditioned to accept it; it becomes 'normal'.
Of course, but intelligent people react to new qualities - and this case is super-weird and gets even more tasteless when you see the cops on the clip and how the act. It just doesn't make sense.
Bates has apparently given thousands of dollars in materiel to the Tulsa cops over the last few years: http://m.tulsaworld.com/newshomepage1/sheriff-s-office-reser...
This isn't police brutality, this is bloodsport.
