If you didn't know better, you'd think these descriptions of suspicious deaths were some snuff movie fan's imagination

 

 

In Tacoma, Wash., a driver and a homeowner’s Ring camera captured police beating and restraining Ellis, a 33-year-old unarmed black man, on the side of the road before he fell unconscious and died at the scene. After the videos emerged earlier this month, Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards (D) demanded all four officers involved be fired. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) on Wednesday pledged that a new agency would investigate Ellis’s death after discovering the investigating agency, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, had deputies on scene.

 

Earlier this week in Shreveport, La., station KTLA published cellphone footage showing police beating Tommie McGlothen Jr. with batons and fists and also using a Taser on him in the street; he died in a hospital hours later. The coroner, Todd Thoma, found that the blunt force trauma was not life-threatening and that McGlothen, 44, died of natural causes. He said McGlothen was in a state of “excited delirium” — a condition often cited by police in in-custody deaths that has been questioned by medical experts — and that he also suffered from underlying heart disease, the Shreveport Times reported.

 

But Thoma also said McGlothen’s death was preventable, questioning why, rather than taking him to a hospital, officers left the man unsupervised in the back of a patrol car for 48 minutes as his condition deteriorated and he fell unresponsive.

 

After the release of the video, an attorney for McGlothen’s family, James Carter, demanded the officers involved be fired and prosecuted to the full extent of the law, the Times reported Wednesday.

 

“It’s sad that in this country by those who are here to protect us, that we need a video camera to make justice go forward,” Carter said on Wednesday.

 

Just a few bad apples for sure!

"All Members of SWAT Team in Florida City Resign, Including Police Union President, Over Chief Kneeling With Protesters"

 

 

"They specifically mention their displeasure with the Chief joining members of our community in taking a knee against racism, hatred, and intolerance earlier this week," Chavarria told CBS 12 News.

 

 

Yeah, racist cops. Goodbye.

Newsweek: Chavarria said that while the officers have quit the SWAT team, they have not resigned from the police department.

i'm not sure how to summarise

 

unknown man calls police to a house address alleging someone trying to kill him, unknown man is never identified

 

police arrives at address finds a man inside a car and fires about 10-18 shots and kills man who's sitting inside the car (yes who does have a gun)

 

sounds like neighbours at war
