Old woman shot by three lying cops who falsified evidence against her.

Exactly. Yet another excuse for people to stereotype cops.

They had to keep the criminals from escaping.

Man, don't say things like that. It took ten minutes for the twitching to stop.

A quick Google search on police brutality will yield myriad reasons to stereotype cops. A quick Google search on the bad behavior of any subgroup in the world will yield reasons to stereotype that group.

Fact is, I blame the no knock warrant for this. I blame the PATRIOT Act and the numerous other pieces of legislation passed on the 80's (the other War on nonsense - the War on Drugs) and 90's (organized crime legislation.)

We live in a guilty until proven innocent society now. Unless civilians act to get control over the security forces in the US, it will only get worse.

My work here is done.

you dont need those two hacks! all you need is two coen bros.

Yeah, because thats who we should be focusing on. Not, oh say the woman who was murdered or her grieving family, but people who had utterly nothing to do with this who might look bad by distant association.

True, but if you had something to say and knew what bantering meant, people might give you less shit.

She actually works in a police precinct. I think she can be forgiven for having a professional concern in the matter.

Thread posts moron.

The smilie you forgot.

When you make the majority of the population a criminal in some way (drug laws, speeding, etc), you breed animosity and fear towards police, and reduce the population's overall respect for the law

I'm too busy for crap like that.

oh snap.

You're right, that's exactly what I didn't say.

To be completely fair, they should wait until the guilty are over 90 years old, really scared and alone. So the fear factor is accurate and all.

The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Is there any doubt this woman's Fourth Amendment rights were trampled and spat upon? Not to mention her right to live. There should be no such thing as a "no knock" warrant in a free society. I hope that if convicted, these scum bags suffer in prison for a very long time.

Ummmm... Now I'm no mathemagician... But what the fuck kind of logic is that?

So did one shot miss?

Or did 34 shots miss?

Did she get shot six times, but killed five times?!

Like come on!

I don't fucking get this...

There you go, looking for the logic again.

It's simple. Five out of every six of the thirty-nine shots struck her, meaning that all you have to do is divide thirty-nine by six and multiply that number by five.

She was shot and killed thirty-two-and-a-half times.

I know that if there is a Hell, I will surely burn there for all time, because I just moistened my Jockey shorts laughing at that.
