I would only see this behavior as excusable IF there were a machine pistol involved. Or a rocket launcher, or a bmx riding down an 80ft tall cliff onto a ramp.
I don't think the person you're responding to is trying to suggest otherwise. You can be curious about the context even while accepting that no possible context makes this okay.
I too am curious about what, exactly, set this officer off to escalate to such completely deranged behaviour. Not because I think there's a justification, just because I want to know exactly what kind of lunacy this is.
Probably just racism. The cop "knew" the pedestrian was a dangerous criminal, he just didn't have any probable cause. So he had to take matters into his own hands.
Definitely not offended by the downvotes, I appreciate your conclusion.
I have trouble allowing myself to show anger, because it usually doesn’t help at all and I learned it can hurt a lot at a young age.
That said, I don’t think “show the other cheek,” when slapped by cruelty is the answer either. I was just trying to fish for an answer if anyone’s got one. We’ve got methods to enact change here, but it’s been a losing battle against cruelty and greed that’s been lost for all of history.
It’s definitely gotten better. I just wish we could focus the anger into the inlets that would do something here in America. Hold those in power accountable with more than their own corruptible conscious, end corporate campaign funding, have more meaningful conversations where we honestly try to find solutions to problems with transparency.
Unless they charge him with the crimes he committed, there's no way they can convince me this isn't a perfect reflection of their values and standards.
Jesus Christ that headline "officer suspended after viral video appears to show him almost running a man over" should instead be "officer suspended after viral video appears to show him attempting to run a man over" but local journalism is all but dead so good luck
Edit: also how the FUCK did they not include the video?! It's literally a dudes video recording posted to social media and I don't care if they have to take 20 minutes to censor it a little so little Timmy doesn't hear a naughty word in the footage of a cop attempting vehicular murder, they should have already gotten permission to include the video on the article or at least included a link to it. They included a single still so it's not like they haven't seen it!
This is why you NEVER invite the police to your home unless it is an absolute necessity. Once a cop shows up, the chances of you or some other innocent person ending up dead increases enormously. Even if they don't murder someone, it is unlikely they will even resolve the issue you called about. 50% of the time they'll get mad at the caller for disturbing them.
I don't like to be anywhere near cops. If I'm in 7/11, and a cop walks in, I leave immediately.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the police should behave this way. If their duty is to law and order then this behavior is the antithesis of that, unlawful and creates disorder. Look at all of the drivers not knowing what to do, probably scared shitless that a cop is going to hit them and they'll somehow be found at fault. Do you think the owner of the house he crashed into is going to see a dime? Maybe if they sue the city, but probably not. Can't sue the officer thanks to his immunity from the consequences of his own actions. Ugh I set out to write something tongue in cheek but this shit is honestly just too infuriating.
Remember when they killed Shawn Sutter then terrorized a whole neighborhood for a week to make sure "nobody saw anything" and said he must have killed himself with his own gun . Man that was crazy
That dipshit cop is on trouble with his bosses, and all of his colleagues are going to seriously torture him. Good chance he gets fired. You can't rampage through a busy city neighborhood trying to deliberately run down a citizen. I highly doubt we'll be seeing a police captain on TV saying that he followed his extensive training and department policy perfectly.
Usually, but this isn't a gun case, which they always have to defend to the heavens, no matter how wrong it is. This is just a stupid cop, behaving ridiculously.
I gotta say it’s somewhat refreshing to be upset over racist cops escalating to attempted murder of someone dark skinned in a far away city …… at least it doesn’t mean the end of us democracy, economy, standing in the world. I can’t believe how low this bar is going
look I'm kind of against more access to guns, but dangerous people like this getting shot or otherwise violently disarmed in public wouldn't make me cry
Yeah, we live in an age where everyone has a video camera with an internet connection, even minorities. News has to start somewhere and I'm glad this was filmed. You can help write, request, or find an article on the incident and post it. I'll be looking too.
News organizations are scared to publish such things because fascist cops are completely willing to drive their cars into reporters as well. Please send international aid.

Rational person: this is unacceptable no matter the context.
I would only see this behavior as excusable IF there were a machine pistol involved. Or a rocket launcher, or a bmx riding down an 80ft tall cliff onto a ramp.
Too much chance of hitting someone unrelated. There could have been kids around any of those turns he blindly flew around.
I mean it turned out there was a 50 plus year old house at the end of one of his blind turns which did him in!
Is it an either/or, though? I’ve got both those thoughts at the same time.
As rational as it is to know it’s unacceptable, what IS the context? And how can we have proper distribution of just consequences?
This guy could be the reincarnation of Hitler and this behavior would still be psychotic.

Yeah if one do this the full agency may be like that.
Nothing wrong with being curious about the context. Don't let the dog pile get you down, too many people want to just hate blindly to feel good.
It's much better to understand fully why you hate, imo

News article about this. Officer McAttemptedMurder isn't named here, though.

Praise the cameraman. Dude stayed on it!
And tried to stay where he could both record and help victims if he did manage to hit someone!
Is there a good community for this kind of stuff( Good cinematography)?
Jesus fuck, where do you Yankees get these officers from? leftovers from the McD, trained on Need for Spoed or what?
Too cowardly for war, too stupid to be normal police. Quite literally leftovers.
Edit: too
Which makes it even more astounding that these guys are too dumb to be cops.
If we're going to be hyper-pedantic, what IS a cop?
A humanoid with state sanctioned monopoly on violence.
What do you mean by state sanctioned? Just to make sure we are on the same page.
Edit: and by violence, do you mean only physical force?
Would not be too hard to intentionally score low, if your are smart enough to know the right answers...
They get sent off to “everyone is a threat and trying to kill you all the time” school for 2 weeks before they get a badge and gun.
Remember the Confederacy? This cop was always a supporter.
bottom of the barrel is where
As a jury member on this future trial, sure looks like attempted murder.!
Speaking of jurors, in the case of the cop shooting a black woman in the face last year, there was only 1 black juror

They said a jury of my PEERS and yet you've selected a group of people who DON'T believe in killing minorities for sport. I DEMAND A RETRIAL!
You know they had to fight like hell to get that juror too.
It's america, so you never know. He could be a good Christian boy
But he was coming right for him!
Requires a DA with a spine.

"Protect" and serve by needlessly endangering literally anyone in the vicinity. Classic
Friendly reminder that "protect and serve" was just a marketing campaign that got popular. There is no factual basis behind it.
Most obvious case of attempted manslaughter I’ve seen this week. Bake him away, toys.
Manslaughter is an accident. "A reasonable person would not have expected this behavior to result in death."
The word you're looking for is murder.
He was trying to murder the guy running away. He was trying to manslaughter any pedestrian who happened to be in the area.
Reckless endangerment in addition to attempted murder?
Yes, negligent homicide if he clipped any bystanders and 100% attempted murder.
Seems so =\
Why are they all shaped the same?
If not fascist, then why fascist shaped?
wow what the fuck
Im shocked he didn't just shoot.
Cameraman is brave has fuck to be heckling the single digit IQ party member.
Seriously, dude should be in prison for this.
This is pretty typical for Baltimore cops. Some of the most corrupt and violent in the country.
They did a whole series on this called "The Wire".
Remember when they killed Shawn Sutter then terrorized a whole neighborhood for a week to make sure "nobody saw anything" and said he must have killed himself with his own gun . Man that was crazy
I enjoyed the dilusional optimism of thinking he can pursue the suspect by running
I enjoyed the dilusional optimism of thinking he can
pursue the suspect byrunningFat fuck can't run
He had to drive it would have been a 4 hour walk for him to go that far
He can barely walk.
wtf America
He has a promising future in ICE.
That dipshit cop is on trouble with his bosses, and all of his colleagues are going to seriously torture him. Good chance he gets fired.

Are you kidding? I can't tell. Don't these cops just get a paid vacation until people forget about their crimes?
Usually, but this isn't a gun case, which they always have to defend to the heavens, no matter how wrong it is. This is just a stupid cop, behaving ridiculously.
They're gonna fuck with him cuz he missed, not for trying.
I assume there is not enough evidence to actually sue and jail him so he needs to be reinstated.
I gotta say it’s somewhat refreshing to be upset over racist cops escalating to attempted murder of someone dark skinned in a far away city …… at least it doesn’t mean the end of us democracy, economy, standing in the world. I can’t believe how low this bar is going

It's not murder if a monster is killed.
sure it is. it's just justified.
This guy has all the qualities, intellect, physical prowess, driving skills....
Yo wtFFFFFFF
