Cop mistakes his own gun for taser and shoots/kills suspect (Vid in Link)
Bodies are piling up. What say you? Was it an accident?
SEE IT: Video shows Tulsa man’s last moments alive after accidental police shooting (WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT) http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.2181787 It was a mistake. That’s the blasé explanation Oklahoma officials gave after the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man by a white deputy who accidentally pulled his gun when he meant to use his Taser. The botched encounter was captured on a disturbing video released by police on Friday — nine days after the fatal Tulsa shooting. “He shot me! He shot me, man. Oh, my god. I’m losing my breath,” Eric Harris says as he struggles on the ground following the April 2 shooting, which flew under the radar until video emerged a week later. “F--- your breath,” a callous officer can be heard saying. “Shut the f--- up!” Reserve Deputy Robert Bates, 73, (below) shouted “Taser! Taser!” before pulling the trigger on his gun, firing a round into Harris. “I shot him!” the former policeman says, dropping his gun. “I’m sorry.” Bates was assisting other deputies who were trying to take Harris into custody after the felon fled from police during a sting operation, the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office’s said. “You shouldn’t have f-----g ran!” another deputy screams, as Harris is held down by his neck and head. Harris, who was in his 40s, was pronounced dead about an hour after the shooting, authorities said. He had bolted from officers who were trying to arrest him for selling a 9 mm. semiautomatic pistol and ammunition to undercover cops. Harris, who was unarmed, had reportedly done time for assault and battery on an officer. He was “absolutely a threat when going down,” Tulsa Police Sgt. Jim Clark said at a news conference. Sheriff’s Capt. Billy McKelvey claims the arresting officers were not aware Harris had been shot, despite the gunshot noise and Bates’ admission. They called paramedics and firefighters, and rendered aid when they realized, McKelvey said. “He made an inadvertent mistake,” McKelvey said. Sgt. Dave Walker told the Tulsa World that police “would not investigate the death unless the sheriff’s office asked them to, and they have not asked us to.” |

Those good cops need to be running the bad cops out on a rail.

This was an obvious accident. The old man shouldn't have been there, but it's pretty obvious from the video that he didn't mean to shoot the guy. He should do some jail time for manslaughter.
The rest of the shit in this thread about how this is another example of blatant police brutality and how everyone is now having serious conversations with their children about how to survive an encounter with the police is ****ing stupid. |

Someone rats to Internal Affairs, and then somehow they conveniently get setup to be gunned down at a crackhouse. Its essentially an organized crime network, but not all of the members are bad.

I suspect the challenge is that there aren't good cops and bad cops. There are cops that are good 99% of the time and there are cops that are good 75% of the time and there are probably a few cops that are good 10% of the time. And circumstances define when each behavior manifests itself. You have to figure out where to draw the cutoff and how to measure it.

Choose a different profession. They all know what they're getting into and what there pay is going to be before they even join.
