Police Abuse

This thread would have had thousands of more posts of police violence had it not been buried in the basement of this site.
 
This falls on the low end of "police abuse" -- but, it doesn't seem like a good idea at a time like this. I can't imagine why the people in that neighborhood hate those poor cops :

NEW YORK, 22-Jun: Nearly 20 NYPD cruisers deliberately drive back & forth through a West Harlem residential neighborhood with sirens blaring, to prevent citizens from sleeping.

This after NYPD unions complained that officers were overworked and understaffed.

Forgot to post this. Police causing intentional ruckus at 3 AM. This is West Harlem.
 
Bump for "Do not call police" ...

My baby didn’t deserve to be shot’: Mother of 1-year-old boy hit by Houston police gunfire speaks

https://www.click2houston.com/news/...d-boy-hit-by-houston-police-gunfire-to-speak/

HOUSTON – The mother of a 1-year-old boy hit by gunfire from a Houston police officer who was shooting at a robber earlier this month spoke about the incident for the first time Tuesday.

The shooting happened March 3 at a gas station at the corner of the Southwest Freeway feeder road and Beechnut Street.

According to police, the robber jumped out of a vehicle and into another vehicle where a woman was pumping gas. Police said they spotted a weapon as they moved in on the man and a 15-year veteran of the Houston Police Department opened fire, killing him.

Police said that a 1-year-old who was in the back seat of the vehicle at the gas pump was hit by gunfire.

Daisha Smalls, the mother of Legend Smalls, said she had just finished pumping gas and had gotten back into her vehicle when a man ran up and tried to force her out. She said she was screaming at the man that her baby was in the car and that she wouldn’t get out.

“I was just scared for my son’s life,” Daisha said.

Daisha Smalls, 19, said the man forced his way into the vehicle and that was when police opened fire, hitting her son. She said Legend suffered a gunshot wound to the right side of his head. She said the bullet has been removed from his brain, but bullet fragments remain.

“My baby didn’t deserve to be shot, especially by the police,” Daisha said.

Daisha said her son is still in the intensive care unit and is struggling to breathe and move on his own.

Attorneys representing Daisha, including well-known civil rights attorney Ben Crump, accused the police of breaking their own policies by opening fire before properly identifying their target. They also allege a discrepancy in the officer’s account. Crump said Legend was hit in the head by a bullet and not grazed as police have described. The attorney’s also said the police department’s claim that Smalls was outside her car at the time of the shooting was false. Crump said Smalls was sitting inside the car when the officer opened fire and put her and her son’s life in danger.

A lawsuit against HPD is forthcoming, according to the attorneys. Crump is also calling for HPD to release the full surveillance video from the gas station and any body camera video.

On Tuesday, Police Chief Art Acevedo released a statement in regards to the shooting:

 
Such a tragic thing. But this will be just another case.

Yep. If this sort of thing were put to a stop, how would the entitled jocks who were narcissistic bullies in high school get their adrenaline fix? The whole world is their personal shoot-em-up game... real-life Grand Theft Auto where they're playing cops instead of robbers. Just think, if that robber had gotten ahold of that gun someone could have been shot!! Oh wait...

The saddest part is that this thread is 19 pages of heart-wrenching tragedies like this. These stores will never get airtime on the national stage... there are more important things to do, like banning bump-stocks... :rolleyes:
 
“My baby didn’t deserve to be shot, especially by the police,” Daisha said.

What is she implying here with the word "especially"?

Of all people, cops have the most right to shoot 1 yr old babies.

If anything, she should be proud of her baby's sacrifice. Was shot to protect Officer lives
