American policing

[notlongnow]

opinions .... is America the easiest country to 'force' or encourage the police to make you ctb?


Exhibit A: ... got me thinking.

Footage shows final moments before Kiwi man shot dead by US police https://mol.im/a/11221119 via https://dailym.ai/android

I am not from USA so I don't know. I guess this is would not be my opinion even I live in USA.

You don't need to be from the states to have an opinion on it though. I too am not from the US.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

That footage is incredibly disturbing… Not sure why the kid didn't just get out of the car when the cops told him to… But doesn't make very much sense the cops shot him to death when all he had was a knife… Cops in the US Are trained to escalate violence unfortunately…

 

[notlongnow]

Absolutely. Sorry if that upset you or anyone, never my intentions. US cops shot to kill not imobalise. Fucking tragic and frustrating and yet I look at it as an opportunity. Warped headspace I guess.

I mean I don't live in USA and I guess I am not allowed to enter USA as I am a registered mental illness patient.

In UK, police are not actually like to kill people.
They more likely to shoot legs.

You ain't missing much hombre. Maybe just the fent haha!

We taser here as you know, the cops in the state buzz off gunpowder. Mad really!

Not really. The story about the man shot by police is disturbing and not uncommon. I believe people tend to film and publish more stories in the US. I would rather get shot by American Police than by many other LEOs in the world.

 

[notlongnow]

That was a cop recording as I'm sure you know.. the trend I see is US cops shot the upper body. No ifs, no buts. I dont even think LEO in south America run that brutality in al honesty. I think that kiwi kid story has pissed me off a lot tbh. 22 ffs.

I don't think I'm capable of watching this whole video. There have been too many instances of the excessive police force that I have heard of and way more instances that I haven't heard about. This is just one of many many things that I don't like about the USA. Many people have been conditioned to see this as normal because it happens so often and some of these people are probably pro-life. Make it make sense. Nothing makes sense. So much divide among the people.

What you describe is called suicide by cop. Just because certain high-profile incidents gain widespread attention, doesn't mean that this is a reliable or safe method. There are ethical issues as well for the officers involved, some of whom have some humanity.

100%

When I finally bounce itll never involve others. Just recently I've started have the vision of many US cops as being without consciousness when the trigger finger pops!

Wow I've seen thousands of videos like this and this one's completely messed up they could have handled that situation differently. I mean I guess I do understand he has a knife in his hand but still they could have hit him with two tasers at once. I don't know they could have got that knife out of his hand somehow other than shooting him to death.

I still remember I watched home alone when I was a child. I felt I saw an entire different life and in a long time I thought American must be the place in the world that children has lovely parents, big house nice food, big parties and oversea holiday in Christmas and everyone seems so happy. And in that time people told me it's complete ageist law to abuse a child in USA. Children can live in a care home and stay away from the abusive parents.

But seems shift happen everywhere.

Don't know about whether it is the easiest place in the world or not to ctb by sbc. I know there are some places in the world where they might shoot you just for looking at them wrong. But it is pretty easy here in the states. You just need to call in some "crisis" and when they arrive, come running out the door with guns in hand. That should take care of things.
