It's interesting to read about accountability (just scroll down a bit on the page). 99% of the officers involved in a killing are not held accountable. It could mean that 99% of killings were lawful, or it could mean impunity, and that while there are lawful killings (when facing armed criminal posing a threat), there are cases where officers are quite literally getting away with murder.
The lack of correlation between killings and violent crime rates (also on this page) makes it likely unlawful killings do not result in the prosecution they require.
- grey-area 6y agoThat a police officer is willing to choke a man to death in public over 10 minutes, and the illegal attacks on press over the last few days, even while being filmed, tells you how accountable they feel.
- andarleen 6y agoIt sucks watching these 3rd world countries harassing the press and citizens. From Europe, we are pretty shocked at the true state of affairs in the US.
