Its so effective it might as well be implanted under your skin.

BTW, this cop is only facing a max of 11 years. You can get more time than that for...well....pretty much anything else. Now, guess how much time the biker would be facing if he would've shot a cop in the back?

Can't really argue with you here...even with the taser issue.

I still don't have an issue with what happened with the kid running around on the field BUT you do make a valid point about the taser here.

None. The biker wouldn't even make it to trial and they probably wouldn't find the body either.

You should go to some police boards and read the stuff these guys talk about sometime.

They know damn good and well that a life prison sentence is a much harsher penalty than death. They know you will be raped repeatedly, forced to eat feces, probably stabbed a few times and so on....so instead of killing you they just send you off to be tortured for many, many years.

Cops would rarely resort to murder and hiding a body when they can manipulate the judicial system to enact a more enjoyable (for them) punishment.

Wow. I know the next time I get pulled over on the bike, I'm placing my hands behind my head IMMEDIATELY. Seriously, no fucking around. One video recent showed a guy getting a gun pulled on him... another gets shot in the back. Fuck you, I'm assuming the position.

That was insane....pull someone for speeding away from a stop sign...and get out of the car with your gun drawn? That is CRAZY. That CAN'T possibly be standard police procedure can it?

And then bust a cap at the kid because he turned around and looked at you?

Just....wow.

Wow. Really. One of my favorite things to do is speed away from a stop... right up to the posted speed limit. How is that wrong?
I certainly didn't see the arm move except when he turned. Even then, wouldn't there be plenty of time to see a gun before you "have" to shoot?
Tragic.

What CAN we do?

Make an example of this officer and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law, meaning give him a sentence equivalent to what a non police officer would get for shooting an unarmed person in the back.

Wow, this is seriously fucked up. I agree that this cop should be going to jail for a long time. However, I don't agree with all the cop bashing. Yes, there are some bad apples, just like everywhere, but I don't think all cops are bad. Do we like it when everyone assumes we're jackasses because we ride motorcycles? No, because we're not all jackasses, although some of us are. The worst are always on the news. There are plenty of good cops out there, this guy doesn't appear to be one of them. doesn't mean they're all bad, though.
