Breathing while black is still a serious offence.

Tl;dr, police peep from window without even bothering with silly stuff as warrants to enter private property or identifying themselves, and proceed to execute the owner of the home for the heinous felony of being in her own living *bed*room while black.

Seriously, if I were a black American, I'd start considering seeking asylum abroad.
Is BLM still a thing, or did it die off?

Edit: Fixed, ty Fartie.

I think BLM is still active. Police brutality in the US certainly still is.

[Samadhi]

Yeah.
I'm not surprised.

We need to break the police up.

[Empire of Ur]

The Police officer probly will get off with a paid leave or some noncence like that.

[The New California Republic]

We need to break the police up.

No.

[Empire of Ur]

We need to break the police up.

No.

Yes

[Ifreann]

Remember to close and lock all doors and windows at night, or the cops might come and murder you.

[The Brytish Isles]

Jesus Christ, how does this keep happening in the US? Is this a matter of trigger discipline or what?

[Repubblica Fascista Sociale Italiana]

We need to break the police up.

No lol

[Salus Maior]

This needs to stop. Seriously.

The absolute sloppiness and outright rampant abusiveness of the police force needs to be checked. This is disgusting, what a travesty of justice.

If I lived in the US I'd seriously consider having laminate glass in every window.

[LiberNovusAmericae]

That's fucked up. They obviously should not have drawn their weapons at all, let alone shoot her.

[Salus Maior]

No.

Yes

We actually need the police for a lot of things.

What needs to happen is a clean house and some serious reform. People need to get sacked, and charged.

Perchance some kind of race-based prejudice is at play. Perhaps. Possibly.

[Nouveau Quebecois]

Police were responding to a possible break-in, I'd wait for the investigation before telling the cops how to do their jobs if I were you.

I feel sorry for the old guy who called the cops. He was just trying to be a good neighbour and it ended up getting his neighbour murdered. Poor guy must be feeling like shit.

Breakins are usually not reported via non-emergency lines. Fuck off with that noise.

Yes, The police in the U.S. have always been abusive and rascist. And the Goverment does nothing.

Or split up into various different organizations. Which share information only. Competitively organised to reduce corruption. With the majority unarmed so you don't get some guy who's twitchy from gang bangers shooting for no good reason.

They were responding to a non-emergency call from a neighbour concerned that a door was left open at night, who had checked themselves and noticed no movement.

That sounds like private police witch are worse than normal police.

To be fair it's not his responsibility to predict whether the cops that turn up are going to act like undisciplined assholes.

With the information the cop was given...
