Here we have two cases, one bomb threat where the suspect told an officer he had a bomb and the officer saw what he thought was a detonator present and no shots are fired. In a contrast case, a man who happens to be black was asleep at the wheel, with a gun in his waistband and his foot on the brake, officers close in and a white officer with a ballistic shield shoots at a moving vehicle and kills the driver. Which poses the greatest threat, a man with hand on a detonator or a man sleep with a gun in his waistband?. If your white you live, if your black you die.

This is a small compilations of stories where cops have gone bad. They stopped the wrong victims for crimes that they did not even commit. Being Black in America is illegal. In some cases the stops were illegal from the beginning to end and in one case the officer admits on video that he should not have stopped the guy and knows he is going to get sued.

Police are still out of control ranting and stopping people without probable cause leading to officers being fired for the lack of professionalism as well as civil rights violations judgements. Despite the George Floyd verdict the beat goes on with the same behavior that citizens are calling for it to stop and reform.

Who polices the police. Them seem to be bias when investigating themselves. What good are bodycams when they refuse to release the information to the public for which they serve. Its useless and cast doubt about policing.

There are situations where the use of deadly police force is justified. In a recent case in Ohio a teen was attempting to stab another with a knife clearly in her hand making a thrusting movement to stab another is clearly a justifiable use of force. Police are trained to hit the center mass of a person. Trying to shoot a leg or arm in the heat of the situation is not effective or practical.

It seems there is a pandemic of cops who lie to justify there actions when using excessive force against black Americans. The officer in the George Floyd case says that he followed departmental policy when using force, where in fact he did not. The officer who shot a black man running away in his back said that he was trying to use his stung gun against him, when in fact he did not because a brave citizen was filming the incident which clearly suggested that what the officer said in his report was a lie, The Chief of Police backed the officer's story until the video surfaced. When will equal justice begin, who knows if it will ever.
