Cops: they will shoot you...unless you ask.

The issue isn't BAWWWWWWWWW COPS ARE DEMONIZED. The issue is that police brutality (or, the notion that if you put on a badge you're above the law you swear to uphold) is so commonplace in America that an officer actually doing their job right is news.

BREAKING: COP DOESN'T MURDER MAN

BREAKING: COP DOESN'T MURDER MAN

Given the threads we've had on the opposite outcome, it certainly seems like breaking news on the Atlas Forum.

Some people are never satisfied.

Heartwarming! This Cop Cares So Much For The People In His Town That He Doesn’t Kill Them!

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

unsurprising, considering the person in question is white.

wait wait wait....you people actually think MOST cops are doing wrong MOST of the time?

[Hatman 🍁]

Let me know when this happens to someone who is Black. Cops doing the right thing when the perp is White is nothing new.

[dead0man]

So, what you're saying is, that no white cop in the US will have an interaction with a black man today that doesn't go poorly for the black man.  The world you live in must suck.

I don't think anyone disputes that some cops are good people, but it's the bad ones we have to worry about.

Basically.

Well of course the cop is going to do the opposite of what the citizen in question wants them to do with respect to said citizen's life: if he wanted to die so badly, he should have added "Don't" to his statement and ran in the opposite direction, duh!

Exactly this. I know that not all cops are bad people, but we shouldn't have to prove that the people protecting us actually have our interests at heart and aren't licensed murderers.

Don't be so sure; here in Utah, corrupt cops tend to gun down white people (specifically, white people who are high on pot) relatively often.

Where is Naso these days?

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

The guy was asking for Suicide by Cop, and cops know not to do that.

Next up, a white cop walks by a young black man, and not only doesn't kill him, but also doesn't beat him up.

Not possible, friend.  Not possible.

"No...Im not gonna shoot!"

"Fine...screw you, oinky!"

Runs...

What happens next?
