Cops can literally go in your house and shoot you even though they have no warrants and face no consequences.
Just in case someone needs to hear this, if you fear for your life, you’re legally allowed to shoot and kill someone breaking into your house.
This is totally not related to this situation though.
Good luck with that. Cops will shoot back and only escalate the situation. You’ll be lucky if you aren’t killed. Then, later they’ll get some bad press like this, but a judge will side with them.
Right… but their point was breaking in without a warrant, which means illegal. And with how the current regime is handling things, you might as well go out standing for your rights than to be thrown to the el salvador meat grinder.
The man in this case was shot anyway, so I don’t think the argument of “they’ll shoot you if you fight back” is particularly strong when they’ll shoot you regardless. Maybe if they’re scared to be so aggressive they’ll eventually stop, but they certainly aren’t stopping when there is no risk to them.
Of course they did. I would honestly be more shocked beyond belief if even one police officer faced consequences for their actions just once in this country. And no I don’t mean the ones that get fired for whistleblowing on their fellow cops for being pieces of shit.
Cops are literally just skyrim guards at this point.
At least skyrim guards only come after you if you do something wrong
If bumping into clutterware on a shelf is wrong, I don’t wanna be right
I wonder if the judge would feel the same way if it was their own house.
Police are given too much leverage, split their concerns by creating new government branches for what was once police concerns (emergency calling, civil crime, etc) and focus on reasons why crime happens and not the infinite chase to stop the criminal after it happens
Ha ha good one. I’ve got another one: the cops are there to protect and serve the public.
Gosh if only police had a procedure for announcing their presence before someone opens the door so that person is less likely to hold a gun and get shot to death for answering the door in the middle of the night. Maybe it should be something like “this is the police”?
Shocked the headlines didn’t report “Officers take paid mental health leave after being attacked by man with no active warrants, feared for life. Governor to award medals following return from paid leave”
