i dunno if y'all heard but the cops shot a man dead yesterday....right here in brixton...
apparently they mistook his lighter for a gun (now where have i heaerd something like that before?) so they shot him 6 times.
no prises for guessing what colour this guy was of course.
this shit is fucked up. seriouslly messed up.

RITE I WAS WAITIN 4 THIS TOPIC....
PERSONALLY THEY LOOK VERY REAL...WE DONT KNOW THE FULLSTORY BUT IT WAS BEIN WAVED AROUND LIKE HE WAS GONNA USE IT......
THE POLICE OPENED FIRE FAIR ENUF THERE WAS NO NEED 2 SHOOT 6 TIMES BUT STILL HE POSED A THREAT AS DID THE GUY IN LIVERPOOL THE OTHA NITE BRANDISHIN A SWORD
COLOUR IMO HAS NOTHIN 2 DO WITH IT
peace
-
damn thats fucked up
-
too me this shit is ALL about colour
you gotta understand what the police is like round here.....i got my ass hauled into the cells for 2 days cos a guy was stabbed 2 blocks away and i happened to come home a little late that night.
and im a very peaceful person, these days anyway.....whenever they get an oportunity to bring you down round here they do it with force, and thats exactly what happened to this guy....the fact of the matter is that in the uk the police ARE NOT allowed to open fire until they have been fired upon.
im sure the establishment will gladly bend the rules in this case tho...just like they scrapped the rules of basic morality and human equality in the DiaLLo case.

My Stepbrother Got Shot One Time Because He Had A Flashlight... He Was Breakin' And Entering, Cops Showed Up, Saw The Flashlight, And Threw One In Him... BARELY Missed His Spine, He Would Have Been Paralyzed For Life.
-
NO THEY CAN SHOOT IF THERE IS DUE THREAT.....IF THEY FEEL THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THEYOR OTHERS COULD B HURT THEY CAN OPEN FIRE....UNFORTUNATELY 4 MANY THEY ARE TRAINED 2 'SHOOT TO KILL'

Yeah that is fucked, and the police WILL get away with it, but then again there are so many guns on the streets of London.
The police here in London are far too heavy handed, i got the biggest beat down of my life from them only 2 days after i got let out of Pentonville, cos i was drunk at 4am after celebratin my release, i had my 2 front teeth broken. But at least Im still alive.
-
thats fucked up. how the hell can police keep doing shit like this and get no time.
-
AS I SED B4....ITS NOT A S CLEAR CUT AS THAT
ITS NOT AS THO
THEY GOT THERE,
SAW A BLACK MAN WITH A 'GUN',
AND SHOT HIM DEAD.
WE NEED THE FACTS 2 C EXACTLY WOT HAPPENED

Hmm it does add a whole new perspective to the situation, im not quite sure what to think....

I hate the fuckin police...All they do is look for trouble to give somone a ticket becase they are driving 5 miles a lil too fast, or not wearing a seatbelt...All they do is look to make peoples 'high come down'....

Totally agree. Police just go out looking for trouble. It's like see how many people you can arrest and there be a little extra in spring bonus. Police are just dicks. Y'nah they wonder why people hate on them but when they go out looking for trouble or try to start shit them the answer is right there. For every good cop you got about 100 bad ones and when it's you getting caught from the police they always the bad ones. Man this shit is fucked up.

just thought i'd point out that our police dont usually carry weapons. (apart from those funky hi-tech extensible truncheon things)
they would have to had called about a special team for this

YEH THE 'SPECIALS' WERE CARRIYIN 9mm's

peace

damn.. fucked up shit goin on around everywhere
-
police should use stun guns or some shit, just to temporarily paralyze the 'offender' instead of killing them.
personally i dont like the police, theyve never helped me at all and all this shit on the news makes me dislike them even more.
they spend more time catching people on bullshit driving offences (easy targets - gets there monthly quota for arrests up) instead of trying to solve real crimes such as burglary. in my county around 60% of burglaries are unsolved.
-
The police can be bitches sometimes and takes thing too far (like Crem mentioned in the Diallo case) but don't forget they are only human. They wanna go home to their familys too just like everyone else. However, they still deserve punishment for any wrong they did because they are trained professionals.
Six shots is a little much.
And I don't know how many times we have been stopped by the cops in my uncles car. They get suspicious cause he is a black man with a Porsche so he must have stole it (but if they had a good job they would understand). It even happens to my dad every once in awhile cause he is foreign.

Here in cali, Police have guns 24/7...
