Wrong, cops using excessive force is based because criminals need to be reminded that nothing can protect them from the long peepee of the law

Because blowing up some f*ids house and shooting her dog is based?

The pro-cop propaganda pumped through society for basically all of modern history has given them a fairly thick shield from accountability.

Cops dont make the law you r-slur.

This is why we need more :marseykilldozer:

SWAT are just the most American version of police officers, you've got wannabe commandos using overwhelming force and military hardware to catch criminals, sometimes they are even there for a discernible reason. And they do it all with barely half the training of a private in the military, someone I wouldn't trust with his own fricking pants.

You have like half the country that is fine with shit like in the article. It's not exactly surprising they act this way then.

I don’t understand how people can support capitalism when some companies break laws and get away with it

How can you support right wing candidates when some of them are stupid nazis!!!

How can you support the military when they did Vietnam and Iraq!1!1!

How can you support doctors when they regularly do medical errors!1!1! And don’t get punished!1!1!1

How can you enjoy nature when lions and ticks exist 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

Since the beginning of 2005 (through June 24, 2019), there have been 104 nonfederal sworn law enforcement officers with the general powers of arrest (e.g., police officers, deputy sheriffs, state troopers, etc.) who have been arrested for murder or manslaughter resulting from an on-duty shooting where the officer shot and killed someone at incidents throughout the United States. Of those 104 officers, to date only 35 have been convicted of a crime resulting from the on-duty shooting (15 by guilty plea, 20 by jury trial, and none convicted by a bench trial). In cases where an officer has been convicted, it is often for a lesser offense. Only 4 officers have been convicted of murder. The 4 officers convicted of murder received incarceration sentences that ranged from 81 months to 192 months in prison, with an average 150.75 months. The 18 officers convicted of manslaughter received incarceration from zero months to 480 months, average 78.5 months.

The boys were just itching for some action and got a little too rowdy. They'll get em next time.

In the master bathroom, police found a loaded Glock 17, 322.54 grams (11.377 oz) of suspected methamphetamine, 1.75 grams (0.062 oz) of methadone, 0.47 grams (0.017 oz) of diazepam, 29.86 grams (1.053 oz) of suspected heroin, 17.5 pills of methylphenidate, 2.44 grams (0.086 oz) of clonazepam, 2.25 grams (0.079 oz) of cannabis, 61 packets of buprenorphine/naloxone, digital weighing scales, dozens of single-use baggies, used syringes and pipes, cash, and multiple cell phones. Another 3.60 grams (0.127 oz) of suspected methamphetamine was found in the bathroom where Seacat was captured

Holy shit

at Swedish Hospital on June 6, Seacat defecated seven baggies that, with the addition of a Mecke reagent, tested positive for 10.95 grams (0.386 oz) of heroin and 21.19 grams (0.747 oz) of methamphetamine

lol. Least r-slurred criminal

32 criminal charges. Holy shit

Key facts like that are usually left out when people want to b-word about how bad they think cops are.

Well that makes a lot more sense. My bad for not realizing that a journo might dare to misrepresent the situation.

Lmao, that's much more reasonable than the previous headline

I guess that's why they didn't want to use the garage door opener, would have given the guy 90 seconds of whirring and rattling notice before it opened the 5 feet for a typical pig to crawl through

lets just hope it was a pitbull
