6 Cops Murder Unarmed Homeless Man
Pretty sickening story, lost my trust with officers a while ago, and am now loosing faith in them. As state budgets are cut down, the requirements for becoming a police officer fall as well. (to lower the pay, benefits package) I have a feeling stories like this one are only going to increase in quantity in the future (more so than proportionate population increase).
People keep saying that the majority of officers are great peace keeping people, but how is it possible that SIX officers together all are bad? What good is it to believe that the majority of police officers are good people, when they will not speak up against or stop the actions of a bad cop in their presence? It seems that when people decide to become police officers, they loose relationships with many of their once 'close' friends and some are even alienated by family members out of fear. Then, the new officer's main friend circle becomes their fellow officers... which leads to a gang mentality. The public suffers and the officers get away scotch free with some sickening crimes. Police officers are supposed to be classified as civilians and represent the finest qualities that our society has to offer. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/04/earlyshow/main20087973.shtml What do you think should happen to these six police officers? and... Has your opinion of officers changed for the good or worse over time?

A contrasting possibility is there will be less of them with nothing better to do. No police man has ever protected me from anything and Im not counting on one ever doing so, Just use the law to steal from me.

A few weeks ago, a southern California native told me several stories similar to this one. A friend of his was hunted down and killed by the cops. Southern California is now on my "No place I care to visit" list.

These types of cases are becoming more prevalent. I don't know what the problem is, I wish I did. In these days of cell phone cameras and instant communication, you think these guys would know better and as human beings one would think that once the suspect is subdued, its over.
I'm embarrassed and humiliated by this stuff.

We had an officer in my city who was racing on the post road and hit a car with a couple of 17 year old's in it at 90mph or well probably more. Killed the kids, he was ok.
He is off the force and going to trial, hope he gets some serious jail time, life would be about right. http://www.nhregister.com/articles/2010/12/21/news/doc4d10caae60d63331004806.txt http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Dash-Cam_Video_Released_in_Fatal_Crash_Hartford.html

As to having 6 officers vs 1 nutball, we have to realize these nutballs can be very strong.

As opposed to your mentality which is what? Blame the cops? Never mind that the dead guy was a nutball with a violent past and might have done something to provoke this situation.

My cousin was gunned down by two cops in Cali. She had a small pocket knife and was under the influence of a date rape drug she was given. They unloaded two clips on her. I thought Cali was the front runner in less than lethal tactics.

Remember the Rodney King incident? He supposedly "resisted arrest"; their response was to beat him senseless.
And let's not forget the fall out when the cops were acquitted of the charges. The backlash created one of the most destructive riots ever. "Somebody has to stand up to the cops" - quote from a motorcycle gang member in California |

People tend to have a heard mentality. That has been shown over and over. I would not be surprised if one bad cop started the beating and the other joined in out of fear of not fitting in and some macho sensibility. So far I have not seen nor heard anything to suggest that all six cops should not be terminated and have criminal charges brought against them. They were not battling the Hulk with cops being thrown around like rag dolls. Given the fact that he was beat to death, there obviously was a point where he stopped any aggressive behavior, assuming there was any in the first place. I think the beating should have at least stopped then.

Ask yourself this. If I came at you with a knife, what will you do? Call a time out, have me pee in a cup, test it and decide what to do or will you preserve yourself?
