"...this incident does not reflect the values or standards of the Baltimore Police Department."

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!

Police have since identified the officer in the video as Robert Parks.

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.

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?

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)?

Too cowardly for war, too stupid to be normal police. Quite literally leftovers.

Edit: too

Remember the Confederacy? This cop was always a supporter.

bottom of the barrel is where

Speaking of jurors, in the case of the cop shooting a black woman in the face last year, there was only 1 black juror

But he was coming right for him!

It's america, so you never know. He could be a good Christian boy

Requires a DA with a spine.

Friendly reminder that "protect and serve" was just a marketing campaign that got popular. There is no factual basis behind it.

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.

If not fascist, then why fascist shaped?

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

He had to drive it would have been a 4 hour walk for him to go that far

He can barely walk.

Are you kidding? I can't tell. Don't these cops just get a paid vacation until people forget about their crimes?

It's not murder if a monster is killed.

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.
