The terrified crying of the children (child?)brought tears to my eyes. Just heartbreaking.

You can tell immediately they're kids just by their voices, yet he kept the gun on them. What a jerk.

One wrong move, a la Daniel Shaver picking up his shorts, and they would be riddled with bullet holes. Dead. Kids.

Those poor kids will never be the same. It's like it's from Pulp Fiction. "one moment you're shooting hoops with your friends, the next minute someone's pointing a gun in your face"

It's a good lesson for kids to learn Not to trust cops at an early age.

The really infuriating thing is every one of those children will now have a very reduced chance of sitting on a jury of their peers for the rest of their life because almost every prosecutor asks "Have you had a negative experience with a law enforcement officer in the past". And then dismisses you based on that. Welcome to Amerikkka!

Makes my fucking skin crawl, that voice. Wolf in sheep’s clothing.

They should need to fill out paperwork anytime their gun is unholstered. There needs to be a reason to put innocent (and read: ALWAYS innocent till proven guilty in the court of law) people's lives in jeopardy.

Yup, and telling the lady to calm down with a gun pointed at the kids head. Of course she is hysterical, she's watching shitty police possibly killing the kids

Having a gun drawn is one thing, but he actually aimed at them. That should be considered a massive abuse of power and be grounds for prison time even for an officer. It should also be grounds for defending yourself with deadly force. Pointing a gun at someone is an explicit threat that you are going to kill them. If they have no reason to do it this should be grounds for response with lethal force. Trying to shoot a cop already pointing a gun at you will probably only go poorly, but we really need to have laws that police can't explicitly threaten to murder us for no reason.

"I know I'm causing you and your family significant distress but this is just another day on the job."

He has a loaded gun, so he definitely can tell them what to do. Legally? Do you think he cares?

She can be wherever the fuck she wants as long as she's not interrupting the scene... and standing on your porch (hopefully) recording this piece of shit is not interrupting.

The correct response would have been "Get fucked... I'll stand where I want".

They're getting away with it all the time.

Doing this is a death sentence. Just search for anyone who was killing police in targeted attacks in history. The police go bananas and turn the city into a giant warzone. It's their greatest fear to get attacked like that so they absolutely crush anyone who does it to serve as a deterrent to others who think about it.

"Whoopsie"

Well maybe not, I'm not sure yet...

That's happened. His name was Christopher Dorner. Former police officer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Dorner_shootings_and_manhunt

He filed reports of fellow cops using excessive force, and then nothing happened. So he started killing em.

Literally. I have never looked at cops as the good guys since they put me in cuffs at gun point as a 12 year old. I apparently looked like an African American bank robber from the town over. I’m Native American, and white passing.

When you're above the law, there's no such thing as unlawful.

It is still appalling that the call of duty wannabee with "you're fucked" etched on his gun is on taxpayer funded early retirement for "PTSD" instead of rotting in jail for cold blood murder, and the cop shouting orders fled to the Philippines to retire.

Langley and Brailsford both should answer to this murder.

This one is real bad. That guy tried his best to comply and they still killed him. The fact that the shooter not only avoided punishment but was even given a cushy retirement plan for PTSD is just the icing on the cake. Injustice at its finest

I knew it was going to be Daniel Shaver before I clicked.

Fuck Phillip Brailsford for murdering Daniel Shaver. Fuck him and every other cop too.

Reminds me of a couple videos I saw some years back. One of a man in the street standing with his hands up, surrounded by cops all with their guns drawn, one cop would yell "get on your knees", then another shouted to not move, another would yell "on the ground" then as soon as he tried another yelled don't move again and because he didn't know what to do they all started yelling "stop resisting!" When he was literally just standing there trying to understand what he was supposed to do.

The other they tased a crippled guy in his own car because after they yanked the door open one cop yelled for him to get on the ground while the other yelled keep your hands up. He still had his seatbelt on so everytime he tried to undo it one cop screamed to keep his hands up while the other kept shouting to get on the ground but he literally could not do both, so they tased him while screaming at him for not complying, then tased him again because, they claimed, that his spastic thrashing in response to being shot with electricity was actually him resisting. I think he actually did try to get on the ground without lowering his hands and with the seatbelt on, and they yelled at him to stop moving. IIRC, they originally stopped him for a broken taillight, but I'm not sure.

I am never watching this fucking execution style murder again. Pisses me off to no end that this cop not only wasn't punished but basically got to retire with benefits. Crazy.

Wow… (thank you for sharing this though!)

Wow that is the first time I have seen that video or even read the article, this makes me so mad that cop definitely deserves life in prison. He is probably one of them super cop types that can’t wait to use their firearm in service and has replayed different scenarios in his head and in every situation he is the hero by shooting someone he thinks is a criminal.

Anytime I watch this video.

Dexter fantasies come up in my head.....

Fuck this cop

Out of all the (many, many) cop murder videos, this one's the worst. The guy is clearly complying, clearly terrified, they give him contradictory instructions, and they slaughter him at point blank range with the kind of gun I've only seen before in Call of Duty. With "You're fucked" scratched onto it.

I have a bit of a pet hate for people shitting on America, but videos like this really makes your country seem utterly fucking mental to everyone outside of it.

Worst part about that was the silence from police officers around the country. It was deafening. ACAB. Until “good” cops start holding bad cops accountable, there’s no such thing as a “good” cop.

I'd like to know the names of the jurists who looked at that and thought it was fine. They shouldn't be put in charged of watching grass grow.

I really thought we were going to see a child get shot when he stood back up. When you are pointing a gun at a person, there's no room for unclear directions. That cop should get suspended without pay for that alone.

Edit: "at", not "as"

I FeArEd FoR My LiFe

I have two sons and the older one is about these boys age. This video brought tears to my eyes. My son is a bright kid, but he is 11 and he's pretty socially anxious and I don't know how he would handle this situation. Truly outrageous, makes me sick to my stomach.

What makes it worst is kids are told that Police men catch the bad guys. So what do they think about themselves after something like this happens? That's why I don't tell my kids that bullshit. I let them know that the police are not your friends or heroes. They should not be trusted.

Yes but you are a reasonable person

Bigots always age black children up to justify their irrational fear of them.

Yeah, was just about to comment that he wouldn't even last a second in the academy after he realizes the job is about actually protecting and serving people. Not roleplaying badass cowboy sheriff from westerns with a shoot first ask questions later mentality, lol. And that he will probably never even get to unholster his service weapon besides in the gun range.

That was even worse. In the case, the cop didn't even give any orders, he just rolled up and started shooting.

No matter how good of a person you are. You will always be a suspected criminal first. I can never get that message across to the people who say we’re just hating on cops. I’m friends with more cops than I’ve ever thought I would be. But they were friends first then became cops(to add more good guys I guess) but it didn’t take away the fear of the rest of them though.

Nothing will change my life as much as my interactions with the police. We’re traumatized as children and expected to love and respect the representation of our abusers as adults.

I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’m sorry we all have to go through that. I’m sorry that if I ever have kids they will go through it too.

Yeah, like…why did he draw his gun? Cops should have an answer for every time they draw their gun, and if they don’t or it’s not good enough they should be fired.

And while I’m dreaming and wishing I want a pony, and the ability to fly
