On Sunday afternoon, a bystander snapped a photo of a white Cleveland cop aiming his gun at an unarmed African American woman.

Within hours, the photo had gone viral on the Internet as commenters compared the incident to other recent police controversies also captured on camera, particularly the Nov. 22, 2014 of Tamir Rice by Cleveland police.

?Never been more upset to live in Cleveland,? one person wrote on reddit.

?Unbelievable,? added another.

?Here we go again?,? wrote a third.

?Hopefully this makes the news and the cop responsible here is ID?d,? argued one commenter. ?If it?s true he showed zero restraint threatening car crash victims then he does not deserve that badge.?

By Monday evening the photo, originally posted on imgur, had been viewed almost two million times.

At first glance, the image seemed to confirm the worst fears about the Cleveland police, a department that just two months ago agreed to give the Department of Justice oversight after a string of deadly police-involved shootings.

We can see the picture. Why is there the need to point out the races of these people?

The more pressing question is why are people always taking snapshots and lying about what is going on trying to start a riot?

Yet another incidence of guys sitting on their couches trying to ruin the lives of someone they don't know over a situation they know nothing about.

Here we go again, more of the exact same shit. Some dumb ass - color here is not important - breaks multiple laws and the only thing that gets reported is the suspect is "unarmed".

The truth is more like this:

According to the report, the officer in the photo had just witnessed the woman hit two cars in an attempt to flee authorities, two young men had jumped out of the back of the car and fled on foot, and the woman allegedly ignored a command to stay inside her vehicle.

You know what, you get what you deserve in life. This woman is now going to blame everyone but herself for her circumstances, no matter how many laws she breaks.
