Meanwhile in USA

A brief summary: A homeless dude was "camping illegally", so a law enforcement fire-team with military spec gear arrives. The homeless guy starts to comply, they throw a flashbang at him bring a dog right next to him.. and when he turns around a bit, they shoot him with assault rifles. When the guy is down (probably dead), they shoot him with beanbag rounds, then send the dog on him.

Meanwhile in Europe, that guy would have gotten tazed max, and probably just manhandled to the ground by one or two officers and then cuffed. The funny thing is that the officers who shot that guy had a dog, they had beanbag rounds, they had tazers, they had OC, but they chose to shoot him with assault rifles and throw a flashbang.

BTW, this video was released by the police department to show that the shooting was "justified."

How do they justify this shooting?

How do they justify this shooting?

I know, right? That dude did have two small knives, but he was walking away when they shot him. And he was complying, before the flashbang was thrown, and I'd assume that and the closing of the dog got him disoriented.

Their official justification, of course, is:

"With regards to this month’s incident, Chief Eden said Boyd posed a “direct threat” to his officers and cited Garner v. Tennessee, a Supreme Court of the United States decision that found that the police can use deadly force in certain circumstances."

Also, see the kind of equipment U.S police have. Suppressed assault rifles? Sure are necessary.

Unleash a spec ops squad onto some homeless guy who doesn't even seem to be aggresive at all. Get him smoked, shot, attacked by the dog, which by the way is probably more human than its owners. Legit! Seems legit! Some nations around the world have obviously discovered the fact that psychos and mentally disturbed individuals make the best cops and enforcement officers.

this is another easy trigger situation , i know the pressure but jeesus , a trained cop didn't recognise a waliking stick and immediately shoot full magazine at a 70 y/o. i know , it's a difficult situation but all i can think is visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Berenger man of course RT is going to get the jump on this, but that's not the topic right now.

I'd rather go to Saudi Arabia than to America. Got it!

I mean, I appreciate taking stuff they produce in America, especially electronic stuff as Games, hardware and shit. But that's it. Those guys obviously did a good job - for a movie.

Oh wait, is that guy black? Nah, no problem then.

Yup, you know what I mean Christo. ;)
Haha, just took Saudi Arabia, by thinking about that American Dad Episode.
