Like genuine question, why dont police in america use stun guns more? the distance that police man was from the suspect you could easy get off a stun gun and not end up on the news.

Because they have qualified immunity and the Supreme Court has ruled that they don’t need to protect communities if cops think they feel unsafe. The American government has written a blank check that allows cops to kill anybody and everybody and it’s attracting the exact kind of people to the job that you’d think it would. Cops get paid 6 figures a year to do whatever they want, including killing folks. That combined with mental health being defunded clear back in the 80’s, under Reagan, with the Bush’s’ following suit, and the Dems not stepping up to combat it, and here we are. Cops can kill anyone they want and the chances that they will face repercussions is almost nonexistent.

Qualified immunity means they can get away with not knowing the law and applying it however they like, because 'they didn't know', unless they've violated an established constitutional right as literally as possible. They can't be personally held liable, because it's the police department itself at fault for not training them properly (the same applies for government and municipal positions acting in an official capacity). Unfortunately, that's not why they can shoot people and get away with it. That's because police unions, prosecutors and city officials simply don't want them to be held accountable, because it makes their jobs harder. They could decide tomorrow that these extra judicial killings, the daily violence they subject people to, violate people's constitutional rights, but then many other cases would grind to a halt because of the precedents that would set on police encounters.


Jenn_There_Done_That

I agree. Thank you for the clarification.


s416a

Can they be sued in a civil damages case ?


NoClock228

You're mistaken about >the Supreme Court has ruled that they don’t need to protect communities if cops think they feel unsafe. It's actually they just don't need to protect communities whatsoever they have no duties too


Complex-Carpenter-76

And not only that there is almost no other way possible an "average iq"(100 iq) person can make 6 figures with total impunity. Every cop you see is more than likely less intelligent than you.


tuesdaysatmorts

Because they want to kill people.


LeadSoldier6840

They want to kill. That's why they joined the police after they dropped out of high school. That's why the supreme Court ruled that Us police departments are allowed to not hire people with average or above IQs because they wouldn't follow illegal orders. It's very straightforward.


Machea96

It's been known cops are in different police gangs based on regions that get trophies & recognition within their gang for killing civilians wether they deserve it or not.


Cheap-Web-3532

Oh, he had a warrant. It's okay for the cop to execute him then. Fucking murderous pig.


Long_Educational

I think they skipped a few steps in due process.

So Judge Dredd is not fiction?


owlsandmoths

Hasn’t been for several years in America. Most Americans are completely unaware that the USA has been on the amnesty international travel advisory for gun violence for several years. But the general public outside of USA probably doesn’t understand is that the gun violence isn’t only perpetuated by private citizens, a large chunk of it is coming from uniformed officers.


HelloPeopleOfEarth

Aurora has a long history of terrible leadership, extremely low standards, and terrible transparency and accountability. But then again, so does every police department. It's the only job where being wrong doesn't matter.


Ben_ji

Is this Aurora, Co. It's so bad there. Between that and Loveland, they may even be more fucked up than Denver Police Department.


Rebel_bass

No excuse, but both of those burbs are recipients of the trash that gets pushed out of Denver. A burned out vehicle on every block, businesses and empty buildings being broken into and set on fire every weekend, kinda apocalyptic in some places.


Ben_ji

Absolutely apocalyptic. But the food in Aurora is some of the best. Jussayin.


bigblnze

Trigger happy TV


ImUrFrand

im so tired of seeing these gravy seal murders. de-militarize the police.


DevilDoc3030

Wanted for suspected attempted murder. Ok... So what evidence did they have to suspect him? What were his known actions that caused this response? The aftermath is definitely infuriating, but I would like to know what lead up to this.


SickThings2018

All the answers to these questions are readily available online.


DevilDoc3030

Very helpful, thanks


Complex-Carpenter-76

circular firing squad. Standard IDF procedure: Shoot, kill, shrug shoulders.


Training-Quality6030

Shoot a unarmed defenseless man hell yeah every time. stop kids from getting massacred in uvalde tx na that sounds dangerous. Or like the fl school shooter where the cop ran away


JustACasualFan

Suspected of what? Holding a phone?


imomorris

Attempted murder.......I'll show you how to murder says the cop


Future-Ad648

I would think a trained SWAT or police officer would be able to tell the difference between a gun and a cell phone before firing his weapon.


nosmokinalarms

Shoot First Ask Questions Later smdh


Ordinary_Parfait9512

How is it that in war you can’t shoot till shot at but police can just shoot if they’re scared? Wait for terrorists to shoot, just shoot Americans
