Not a communist, not black, not even a back lives matter protester. Just another white Scottish humanitarian !

I don't know if its about white, black, or pink poker dots, but these cops are the dumbest murderers ever to cross the silver screen. They formed a circle and started shooting at themselves.

One officer jumped on to the bonnet of the victims car and shot 47 bullets in to the two occupants of the vehicle; Black Life Matters bull s**t, owe please! Then as an insult to injury he pulls a Rupert Murdoch defense in court, "I don't recall that sir". He was in his late 20's- 30's; whats his excuse, dementia? The only condolence is he got a voluntary manslaughter charge slapped on him, only to be later acquitted. He was the only one of the 13 officers whom fired, who got prosecuted. I take it the other 30 + bad reviewers of this excellent doc are all the bent cops who took a shot at these unarmed civilians. They were guilty of a traffic offence, what planet are these reviewers on - they deserved to be shot for that? Straight out of Police Academy or Naked Gun. One sided lol.

This sort of thing happens time and time again, and video evidence always appears online: homeless, mentally Ill, Kids, racist killings etc etc, gunned down in the most barbaric, over the top fashions imaginable. Of course the ones caught on video are only the tip of the iceberg.

In self defence there is a term "reasonable force", which describes justifiable cause. How can anyone stand there and say that there was anything reasonable about these events. It was even proven that the officer who initiated the pursuit was lying, as he wasn't even following police protocol. The officers justification- they were "scared". Awe..., boohoo. There were 100 police officers in 62 patrol cars, armed to the hilt, vs a couple of civilians with a broken exhaust pipe.

If Cleveland is a violent place, then I can see why. A history of violent policing and injustices, breeds more violence and disrespect for the law. Its a snow ball effect.

In the Tamir Rice (a 12 year old boy) case covered in the 2nd segment, the officer pulls right up next to him and starts shooting. He was carrying a plastic gun. Impossible officer wouldn't have seen his age at that close proximity. Didn't stop for one second to assess the situation, just came out blasting like Yosemite Sam. Prosecutor McGinty is the epitome of the decay and decadence which has fractured the American Justice system. Retrograde and antiquated. Imagine, he called in the accused officers to sign pre-written statements before the trial.

Loomis (no joke, that's his name. What he thing this is Halloween? Must be!) from Police Union should stop white washing his murdering colleagues crimes. Never seen such a bunch of self-serving, self-pitying, remorseless killers, and their accomplices, in all my days.

The reason they don't take accountability is compensation costs money to the state, and a bad representation of the police force is politically damaging. The officers all evoked their 5th amendment right, "to remain Silent". Omerta! The code of silence, or "the blue wall" as it is adequately described as in the documentary. Usually a privilege reserved for the mafia.

Give these police a broom and a brush and make sure they get double HazCom training to make sure it sinks in. They should be in jail, think themselves lucky and thank god every day.
