Photo Exposes Police Cover-up of the Fatal Shooting of Jermaine McBean - GMDino - 06-02-2015 Black man carrying what looks like a gun? Call 911...shoot first and ask questions later. Just an isolated incident...nothing to see here. Again. http://revolution-news.com/photo-exposes-police-cover-up-of-the-fatal-shooting-of-jermaine-mcbean/ Quote:A newly surfaced photo of 33-year-old Jermaine McBean as he lay dying shows that he was wearing earbuds at the time of the shooting. Police claim the earbuds were in McBean’s pocket and said there was no reason to believe he did not hear their orders. Even if you believe the police...who we now can see were lying...once it was discovered it was an unloaded air gun why would anyone believe he deliberately didn't listen and then POINTED it at officers?!?!

It just seems to me that it takes a certain type of person to want to be a cop. Maybe I'm jaded (I've never been in any real trouble), but I feel like people that want to be cops, feel like they need to have control and power over others, rather than "serve and protect". Honestly I feel we are overly policed. I don't know if this statistic is true or not, but I've heard that this country has one of the most imprisoned populations in the democratic free world (thanks to the war on drugs). And don't even get me started on traffic violations, which I believe is just a way to generate revenue and be a general pain in peoples asses. :snark: /rant RE: Photo Exposes Police Cover-up of the Fatal Shooting of Jermaine McBean - Sociopathicsteelerfan - 06-02-2015 (06-02-2015, 12:25 PM)RICHMONDBENGAL_07 Wrote: Meh...I've become increasingly disappointed with law enforcement.

Never mind that a bad shooting occurs in such a minute number of police/citizen/criminal interactions as to be statistically insignificant. Something that happens .0001% of the time is clearly the issue of our time. You're right Gmdino, with your obsessive anti-law enforcement agenda, the cops are all bad guys, it's not just a "few bad apples". We all lie, we all cover up for each other, we all go to work every day just itching for the chance to kill a minority; preferably a black person. Spoon it up guys, just don't be surprised when the typical over reaction occurs (they're already talking about letting burglars fee because it's just a "crime against property) and you get the same situation you're currently getting in Baltimore and other major cities. I am so thankful that my promotion is coming through and I'll be off the streets soon.

I'm certainly not saying they need held to higher standards or that with more and more technology we are catching the "few bad apples" at a higher rate. Yep. Oh...and nothing on these two who killed a man and then lied about it? Nothing at all? Just that the police should stop doing their job because people want them to do it without killing innocent people and lying about it? Okie dokie. I'll remember that at the next memorial 5K I haul my fat ass around to raise money for local officers. Or the next time I donate to any pro-police cause. That because I point out it happens and you deny it has any statistical significance it must mean nothing at all.

Yeah, like 3 out of the 10 giant stories blowing up over the past half year actually indicative of improper procedure or lack of training....during at time with some 5 million arrests and millions more interactions. Yep, really a problem that needs solved. Truth be told, bad cop shootings are about as frequent as commercial airplane crashes.

Quite simply, yes you are. Unfortunately for you I recall, and I know I'm not the only one, the thread you started about a police shooting in the St. Louis area just before Christmas. You immediately started ranting about police "murdering" yet another black person and that their account should not be trusted. You even dismissed the incredibly obvious video evidence of the perpetrator pointing a gun at the officer. If you're really trying to claim you don't have an anti-law enforcement agenda then the only person you're fooling is yourself because your posts, and constant threads, scream it. Quote:Yep. LOL, sure that's what I meant with my post. You're scrambling to defend yourself from an accurate accusation so you intend to obfuscate and insert words into my mouth. If you disagree please point out were I excused, or have ever excused, genuine police misconduct. I'm not the one painting a large group of people with a huge brush, that would be you. I am calling you out though, yet again, for your obvious bias. Quote:Okie dokie. Whatever you have to do to get to sleep at night feel free. Like I said, you're only lying to yourself because your own words betray you and they do so often.

You notice the agitprop being bandied about by the Washington Post and The Guardian don't even come close to agreeing on the numbers of police shootings. Even then they deign to lump all shootings together, because a totally legit shooting should absolutely be mentioned in the same breath as a bad one right? Like I said earlier in the thread, and you seem to agree with, the agenda is being spoon fed and people are lapping it up. The ability to think critically is gone in this country.

We all lie, we all cover up for each other, we all go to work every day just itching for the chance to kill a minority; preferably a black person. I had a feeling we'd hear from you on this. And I would've been shocked not to hear from you on this given you're history of employment within the law enforcement community. Your looking at it from the inside, and we're looking at it from the outside. I have no doubt that you're a good dude, and probably a fair guy. But lately, I've become jaded about the LEO in my community, I'm not going to bore you with examples (unless you'd like me to), but they just seem to be harassing more than policing. And like I said I've not been arrested or gotten into serious trouble, but they've become a pain in my ass. I'm sure you're biased on the subject, and I don't blame you for being so. BTW, what exactly do you do in law enforcement?

Second problem is what I do to SUPPORT the police is because I respect the profession...not to cover for anything else I do. I have never had a bad run in with a police officer. I've met a few jerks and a-holes and I've met some good one. I'm respectful and have taught my kids the same. But that doesn't mean I will ever turn a blind eye when one or two or a van full kill a citizen for simply walking home or for previously being in jail. So I won't stop posting about it just as you won't stop defending it. And I'll sleep well at night because I know my reasons are for awareness...not to paint the entire profession as evil of jack-booted, or thugs. But just as I hope and work for a government that is better and treats its people better I will do the same for the police. RE: Photo Exposes Police Cover-up of the Fatal Shooting of Jermaine McBean - GodHatesBengals - 06-02-2015 While blacks are and always have been unfairly targeted and the subject of the most brutal of police treatment, the problem is really about the police having too much power. If they have less power, then their pathetic fear of other races won't matter. We need serious reform of the entire criminal justice system in this country.

You don't mention it in your response (I wonder why?) but kindly explain the thread I mentioned in which you automatically assumed a LEO had engaged in a bad shoot within two hours of the occurence only to be found 100% incorrect.

Again, you can claim it all you want, but your threads and comments suggest otherwise. You knee jerk condemn every shooting.

Yeah, if you confined yourself to this brand of commentary we wouldn't be having this discussion but you don't so we do. You're so blinded by your bias that you fail to recall the many posts I have made about issues in the LEO community. I guess I'm just not extreme enough in that regard for you hence your failing to recall it. Again, whatever helps you sleep at night.

It's a family thing, it's basically a decent paying job with chance for promotion, it has to be interesting, it's challenging, and some people just want to serve and be helpful. My fantasy job is a homicide cop, but I realized two things. I don't think I could handle the tragedy, and two, it's not so much about solving a crime through clues like tracking down a serial killer in a novel. It is wearing out shoe leather, pounding the keys on a computer and interviewing a billion people who don't want to be interviewed. The monotony of the investigation has to be mind numbing.

RE: Photo Exposes Police Cover-up of the Fatal Shooting of Jermaine McBean - bengalfan74 - 06-03-2015 Overall I think LE is doing a very, very, tough job really well. And in the same breath I strongly believe way to many officers/Dept's are getting way to para-military and/or aggressive in situations that don't need that level of intervention.

Noire" by Rockstar Games I think it is? It's nothing like "Red Dead Redemption" or the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise at all aside from being able to drive around 1940's L.A. In your car. The whole game is about you solving crimes and you have to be able to read people's facial expressions and look for clues. I started to play it but it bored the hell out of me and couldn't continue. I got as far as looking for clues on a dead naked lady up on this hill and just couldn't take it any more. As for the topic of the OP I have one question, how did the earbuds stay in his ear after getting shot and falling to the ground? I don't use them so I don't know if they stay in that good or not, that's why I asked. |
