MR25 and Shyster, the dynamic duo of blind police hate!

A police officer in a Seattle suburb was charged on Thursday with murdering a man outside a grocery store under a new state law that makes it easier to hold the police accountable for the unjustified use of deadly force.

The officer, Jeffrey Nelson, was the first police officer to be charged by prosecutors in King County, Wash., under the law, which was approved in 2018 by Washington State voters, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said that Officer Nelson, 41, had shot and killed Jesse Sarey, 26, while trying to arrest him on a disorderly-conduct charge outside Sunshine Grocery in Auburn, Wash., on May 31, 2019. The entire encounter lasted 67 seconds and was captured on nearby surveillance video, prosecutors said.

Officer Nelson “needlessly provoked the circumstances that led to Mr. Sarey’s death,” by failing to de-escalate the situation, not waiting for backup, laying his hands on Mr. Sarey after 38 seconds and then fatally shooting him 29 second later, prosecutors said.

DALLAS, Texas (KCBD) - A former Dallas police officer pleaded guilty on Friday to possessing sexually explicit images of young girls.

U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Erin Nealy Cox says 35-year-old Daniel Lee Collins, a former senior corporal, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography. According to plea papers, Collins admitted he accessed child pornography via his Google email account in spring 2020.

Collins also admitted he knew the images showed actual minors, including a nude prepubescent female, and portrayed “sadistic or masochistic conduct.” He also acknowledged that on occasion, he knowingly distributed a file containing sexually explicit images of a child.

According to a criminal complaint filed in July, the investigation was triggered when Google detected sexually explicit images uploaded to Collin’s Google account through the City of Dallas’ internet network.

Google flagged the images – one uploaded on May 13 to an account tagged “Dan Collins” and two more uploaded on June 29 to an account tagged “John Smith” – to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which filed a Cyber Tipline report with the Dallas Police Department.

A Dallas IT specialist traced the IP addresses used for the uploads to the City of Dallas internet network. Investigators determined that the same Google accounts were also accessed from Collin’s residence.

Collins, who resigned from the Dallas Police Department earlier this week, now faces up to 20 years in federal prison. His sentencing is slated for Jan. 8, 2021.

"Blind" also implies hate (or dislike) without reason. There are 30 pages in this thread demonstrating why police have earned the dislike.

Small point, but does the number of bullets fired really matter?

like, from what I understand, cops and others with guns are trained to shoot to kill, not shoot to wound or subdue. Does it really matter if they fired 7 shots or 89?

I’m not saying they’re justified, just wondering because people keep emphasizing the number of shots and I don’t know if that actually matters

Cops should not be killing guilty people. Cops should not be killing innocent people. Cops should not be killing anyone. Just one man's opinion.

So here's where I start to lose that argument:

This man (who was white) shot at police with an AK47 after causing a scene for being told to wear a mask. This was chalked up to the man "not handling the pandemic well".

How does the man in this article, who actually had a gun AND was using it to fire at police, get treated with kid gloves while Jacob Brown gets shot in the back 7 times?

It's the inconsistencies with which deadly force is applied that are the crux of the issue, here.

How does what Jacob Brown did/was doing deserve the same result as someone who was actively shooting at police?

It's the inconsistencies with which deadly force is applied that are the crux of the issue, here. As c2i says, they should outside of very, very rare circumstances. But unfortunately that's not our reality.
