Police Execution?

[jbcjr14]

While I don't agree with what seemed to have transpired in this incident, nobody is talking about what got the police all fired up and called out there in the first place. If these people were not causing trouble of some sort, why were the cops called? 2am on New Years...get your ass home and stay out of trouble, its really not that difficult if you ask me.

It's like the professional athletes that we see get in trouble for DUI, drugs, etc. Keep yourself isolated from potential trouble and the chances of you being arrested, harrassed, or even shot by the police are very minimal.

It's New Years!!!! If there's one day of the year where people have a legit reason to be out at 2 am it's f'ing New Years!!! Especially if they're riding the train rather than getting hammered and driving!

Very true...but I just don't understand the circumstances of those people being yanked off the train in the first place. Was it a random? Was it a hit? Were they causing trouble? Even if they were causing trouble I am sure it was nothing to get shot over, but my point is if you weren't causing trouble your ass wouldn't be sitting against a wall being detained by the police in the first place.

Considering how the Metro is here and taking into consideration it was new years day, I would think they were probably be loud and rowdy. Which if it disturbs other passengers enough, is enough to warrant the train being stopped and police escorting the rowdy people off.

As for the shooting, that cop needs to be brought up on some sort of homicide charges. I highly doubt that kid was a threat to anyone. Even if he had a gun on him, how is he going to point it and discharge it at someone while he's on his stomach? If he did have a gun, I'd rather go and break the kid's arm first before I shoot him. At least you know he can recover from that. Unless the cop truly felt his life, or the life of others around him were threatened, I wouldn't let him off the hook for this.

I don't know if cops have to take an IQ test before getting a badge but they should really start enforcing that, because I swear, some cops should never even be able to handle a gun. Because some cops like to use it as an equalizer (in circumstances that don't even warrant pulling a gun) instead of a last resort/protective measure.
