Ugh, no, but I’d happily race somebody in reverse around a autocross track as long as we don’t have strict rules about seating position.

Sadly the standards for what it takes to become a cop have been lowered repeatedly. At this point I think they will accept anyone who has a pulse and can squeeze a trigger.

We had a case about ten years ago where the cop was shooting before he had even stopped his car. At a 12yo. He is still on duty, never got in any trouble.

Notice how when he turned himself in, he is wearing long sleeves. No longer proud of his cool arm tattoos?

It’s a damn shame the cops had to wear those body cameras. Ruins all their lies. I don’t see how you can be confused between Irizarry being outside the vehicle and lunging at the cop with a knife and Irizarry sitting in the driver’s seat. These aren’t even close to the same thing.

Just turn your head and look where you are going. Your eyeballs have more definition, better depth perception, and provide better situational awareness than a wide-angle lens feed stuffed into an 8in screen will ever provide.

That was my first thought, too. The fact that the cops blatantly lied about this shooting is somehow a footnote in many of these conversations.

The degree to which society has normalized the “well, the cops obviously lied about the shooting, but it’s not that big a deal, let’s focus on what happened here” attitude is really amazing.

That was an execution.

““And when police officers ordered him to show his hands, he instead produced a weapon and pointed it at an armed police officer,” he continued.“

Say that in court, to the judge, councilor.  I dare you.

not everything has a back window you can see out of. 

Murder. Straight up.

lunged at the officer with a knife, not just had one. Which still... did not happen

Biggest gang in the country strikes again.

Try parallel parking on a major east-west or north-south artery in San Francisco. People don’t pay attention, no matter what you do as a driver to try to warn them ahead of time.

Well, that dude telling him to stop on the tape can kiss his career goodbye, cops hate other cops who tell them to obey the law.

So the cops told the public the suspect was outside the car and had a knife and then was shot?
