Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Bullshit. They just wanted an excuse to shoot a random Black person. Wouldn’t be surprised if the attempted murder was a gang initiation. Police gangs are very much a real thing.

In the bodycam footage, both officers have the body language of people who are absolutely terrified before they even make it up the stairs to knock

Ugh, that’s so fucking infuriating. Don’t want to look at the footage for my own mental health, but I’m sure it’s bad.

It's truly absurd, and it's very plain how poorly trained and prepared the officers are beyond the entire context of doing a murder for no reason

apparently the police so comically evil here in america that they can't hire people who would actually be competent at the job lol

They were female cops. Not saying they’re any better or less of a psychopathic racist, but police gangs are usually male and female cops report violence or harassment from male colleagues, but they never open their eyes. They just want it to reform to be violent to civilians without internal misogyny. They’re still part of the overall thin blue line, but not the internal gangs

Girl boss cops 🤢

Cops definitely do that shit in general, but from the footage it looks like they were jumpy as hell and mag-dumped at the first sign of movement. Not that it makes it any better for the victim
