“While attempting to take the man into custody, he did not comply with multiple commands to stop, and he physically resisted when troopers tried to remove him from the car,” a state police statement said.
“Troopers shot the man when he continued to drive in a manner that placed officers in imminent danger,” the statement continued.
Why kill him, though? Why even try to pull him out of the car? Cops have the perp cornered in his car, so why didn’t they let the air out of all four tires, and sit in the squad car eating doughnuts until he gets bored and gives up?
Defund the police all the way to $0
That’s not how reality works. You NEED police. The problem is that in the USA you don’t have police, you basically have a government funded maffia with thug enforcers.
How about “restructure police”? Much better. You’ll actually end up with a service that serves and protects
We’d be more open to that sort of compromise if it didn’t always end in giving them more money and more latitude in murdering us.
That is not compromising, that is actually fixing the problem. Right now the problems, as I see them, with the US police are:
None of these problems are insurmountable. Lets looks at each problem, and fix them
That is not comprising, that is fixing the issues
Charge people to be police. They want the extra privilege of qualified immunity? Pay for a limited license to operate as a peace officer.
What if we reframed your weird argument as liability insurace?
So the wealthy can become even more entitled? This comment is braindead.
So if I want to kill somebody, I just have to pay up first?
