'You can get away with murder if you've got a badge' Dead Kennedys

Bastard should've gotten his ass kicked right then and there.

@thespokenfont it has nothing to do with race for the most part. Blacks, Muslims, Whites etc the government wants us to believe we are all still seperate. When we should unite and stop bullshit like this.

[MrScottrocks]

its only getting worst for us in America, the people never win in court against the goverment /law... not the last 10 big cases in higher courts.. the republican are changing law us the american voted for ..look at Montana .. and now in michigan...

Why does the description have "a white retired cop" can't you just say cop and not involve race.

[MrCoverx]

@bigdogsix2 What about the life that was lost, what about the justice for that kid, Looking at the video that cop isn't showing any compassion for that family's lost, as he said no mistake was done, so he's proud, because he was just doing his job.

i say why throw race into it because why should the race matter? a life is a life

[thespokenfont]

And for the person that said " why bring race into this" .. that's funny as well. Because you know damn well that if you hear a story about a cop shooting and killing someone , you don't even have to hear the persons name , or see their face to know that there's a 98% chance that the person was either African American or Hispanic.How can you say don't bring race into it . come on now.. lets be real here..

[thespokenfont]

This is funny , because why does America see injustice in other countries ( protesters jailed ,murdered because they want democracy and basic human rights ) and we are ready to go in there and start a war for them , AND YET , with all the injustice that happens IN OUR OWN COUNTRY we sit back and do nothing. Police can shoot and kill Blacks and Hispanics in this country and they KNOW that they will get away with it. Sad very sad.

[shirosaki144]

so let me get your comment straight. if he doesn't comply the punishment should be death? and he is supposed to be better than me? you are the one with a distorted reality of the american justice system. hard training doesn't automatically make you a good person.

[shirosaki144]

why are you people throwing race into this?! this has nothing to do about race. this is about the cop killing an innocent person and getting away with it so easily. honestly I hate cops like that who kill and get away with it just because he knows people.
