Here in LA, the cops are called a gang of Blue
It's because they never do anything with just one or two cops. I've had 6 cops at my front door because they caught someone else using my identity.
In a perfect world, what you are asking for might happen, but LA is not a perfect world and the cops here get more training than most police. Shit happens, if you are tased and keep going, then grab a gun, every cop out there will react the same way, shoot the idiot! Doesn't matter how many bullets after the first one does it?
In that video, you can hear the Taser.
All these people that think it's the cops fault, plain and simple, you don't want to get hurt by the cops, don't resist arrest. They are trained to hurt you, they are trained to protect themselves. If someone grabbed a gun that was on my hip, I would kill them!
If you are at the zoo, are you going to climb the fence into the lions cage?
If you see a Hell's Angle, are you going to kick his bike?
Are you the kind of person that spits in the wind?
Ok, this is sounding like bad bad leroy brown
Those cops didn't see a black man, they didn't see a mentally disturbed man, they saw a human being that was a threat, both to themselves and others.
