There are some really great cops out there.

Why are cameras frequently present to document cops' good deeds, with the photos ending up in the media...but less often the other way around?

This is ridiculous

The guy had a plausible reason and the judge should dump the case should he refuse the unreasonable plea bargain. And it is the DA being a dick and not clearing it himself.

This shouldn't be in this thread but instead "District Attorneys Are Great."

That DA sounds like an unredeemable POS. Hopefully the kid rejects the plea deal and the judge has the decency to just throw the case out. I've done the same thing this kid did before. Due to darkness combined with a narrow shoulder on a highway, I waited for the next exit to pull over (maybe 1.5-2miles). When the officer finally approached me, she asked why it took me so long to pull over and I explained that I thought it'd be safer for both of us if I waited for an exit. She accepted that explanation and we moved on in a perfectly civil manner. So yeah, while the DA is the biggest douche here, I think it's safe to say the cops got a little over-zealous as well (especially considering there is a known issue involving fake cops pulling people over in the area).

Article reminds me that even if you have money (Samulei), prosecution will go after you even making up and intimidating people.  That it took just before trial to drop the charges is ridiculous.  And the protester is correct.

The more we become like Russia and have dash cams everywhere, the better behaved people will become, or at the least, the more entertained we will be on youtube.

OK, WTF.  Police can't win I guess.

Well, that tweet seems to have backfired in epic fashion.

 

Regarding the shooting itself, I read the guy apparently stabbed a lady in the head while she was holding an infant.  Not a huge loss for mankind if this is the case.

For sure. I hadn't seen that. You'd think that they'd want to get that part of the narrative out there if true. Why are they so terrible at getting information out there?

Perhaps, but unless the guy still had the knife and was threatening the cops or someone around him it isn't a good shoot.  Also, I don't think I'm comfortable with the police being the arbiters of who is deserving of being shot.

[Blarg]

What he did in the house doesn't justify shooting him with his hands up surrendering in the driveway.
