Actually, no, they shot him because he went at them with a knife and cut one of them (I'm presuming you're referring to Stephon Watts, the 15 year old Black boy). The police had also been called ten times in two years (by his family) to come and subdue him.

The guy who was "acting funny" was running around Whole Foods (who were the ones to call the cops), repeatedly going into employee only areas, and other customers felt threatened. He's also schizophrenic.

I'm so fucking tired of this hatred for the police. It's no wonder they react the way they do when so many people make it obvious that they don't consider them human, just "pigs to be slaughtered".

Well they are pigs to be slaughtered.

You're a piece of shit. You do realize that they're human beings, right? A lot of them are human beings who joined the police force to help people, since the shitty pay and hours they get sure aren't incentives?

Sure, some of them are probably dickheads who became a police officer for the power trip of being able to wield authority over people, but it's actually not the most effective way to power-trip -- very unpredictable and erratic. Becoming an athlete or a boss is a far more effective way to power-trip.

The problem with police is the widespread lingering-fifty-years-after-it-should-have-ingloriously-died institutionalized culture of racism, chauvinism, and macho posturing engrained within many *departments*. Individual police officers are quite often perfectly good people. And also quite often, they're perfectly good people who can come off as dicks because they're a lot like 911 operators or ER nurses in many ways -- they've got a job to do in which lives depend on them, and they just don't have the luxury to tiptoe around people's feelings when they do it.

No, they aren't. You, on the other hand.
