Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. This is the exact kind of celebrity gossip that I need to balance out the horror that is this election year.

And even if someone is a criminal suspect, cops still aren’t allowed to summarily execute them. It would be an improvement if cops constantly treated black people the way criminals are supposed to be treated -- at least then they’d come out of it alive.

Sounds good to me:

True, true. Plus, when they learned he was shot in addition to being tased, it didn’t seem to faze them in the least.

Also, it looks like one of the officers either drops their weapon or a tazer. I could see that better on this video: http://heavy.com/news/2016/09/betty-jo-shelby-tulsa-oklahoma-police-officer-cop-terenc…

I’ll say it again: there’s no indication that he committed a crime. Why did he have his hands up? If my car was broken down and a cop car approached, I would NOT expect anyone to tell me to put my hands up! That is not a standard pose for citizens in need of help--so putting his hands down in no way represented a…

I can’t -- won’t -- watch the video, but the article says he was tased first. That’ll make anyone’s hands drop.

...you mean like they’ve always done?

Please don’t feed the trolls. Not on this kind of article at the very least. It’s too fucking much.

the dude you are replying to is a troll. He’s usually of the anti-feminist variety, but it seems today he’s also of the racist variety.

The thought crossed my mind, too. Not that she doesn’t deserve to have the book thrown at her and to spend the rest of her life in jail (my God, that video, she’s a fucking murderer), but it’s an interesting case study. Of course, there are relatively so few women who are cops that it would be hard to do an effective…

Completely agree. It’s not impossible for cops to refrain from shooting people dead, and all cops should be trained like the ones in NY were.

I do not blame you at all for being uneasy or afraid. I hope you stay safe out there.

I’m an law abiding black male and I get nervous every time a cop car is behind or near me while i’m driving, not only in my personal vehicle but also my work truck. I don’t want to say that all cops are bad but, lately it sure feels that way, especially when the good ones are protecting the scum hiding behind their…

What the fuck what the fuck how does this keep happening

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Meanwhile, an alleged terrorist actually shoots 2 cops and gets taken alive.

The only justice is Betty Shelby behind bars for murder and depraved indifference and her accomplices fired from the force and possibly charged and jailed as well.

Nah it’s more Wild ‘N Out.

Cara is hitting peak Christina Ricci here.

I’ve seen flat possums on I-85 that looked better than Cara.
