Since when is it reasonable for cops to draw on someone accused of shoplifting?

Everyone could have done better

we don't know what information the police officer got from dispatch.

if what the article says it true, it could have been that dispatch relayed that it may have been a robbery in progress (since t-mobile didn't answer when the dispatcher called back), at which point yes guns will be drawn.

Almost blowing someone's head off because of an accusation of theft

Cop didn't try to figure out what was going on first. Didn't think like why would someone who stole a phone hang around the store after stealing.

Exactly. They could have taken a single ****ing peak inside the store to see that it wasn’t being robbed.

This is why I’m all for cops not even having guns. Idiots handle it like a fat boy at a buffet. Don’t know how to stop

Keep hearing this nonsense about God is going to do this/that/whatever; God ain't doing nothing. I wish people would stop making it seem like we have to go through this with hopes of the imaginary man coming to save us. Stop man.

Sounds like people who have acknowledged mental/spiritual defeat to the point they now fantasize as a coping mechanism.

The free slaves didn't turn to Christianity...they died fighting

Florida Cops Accused of Shackling Pregnant Black Woman, Then Beating Her for Complaining

A Florida woman says she never thought she’d be a victim of police brutality after she was allegedly shackled and beaten by officers in a Jacksonville jail last month. Now her attorney is demanding the incident be investigated as a hate crime.

Kirenda Welch, who is five weeks pregnant, was arrested June 29 after cops pulled her over for making an illegal turn and realized she was driving on a suspended license, News 4 Jax reported. Welch was then carted off to jail where she said things quickly escalated.

According to investigators, Welch exchanged words with JSO corrections Officer Katherine Thompson, who assaulted the mother-to-be after placing her in four-point restraints. Welch added that officers looked on as she was beaten and pepper-sprayed, laying defenseless on the ground.

It's actually cheaper if police just left black people alone, unless that person is actually committing a crime. But hey, what do I know. No price is too high to maintain the system.

Milwaukee to Pay $3.4M For Willfully Targeting Black Residents Over Several Years with Stop-and-Frisk

Milwaukee agreed Tuesday to pay $3.4 million to settle a lawsuit alleging its police department spent years targeting black and Latino residents without probable cause with its stop-and-frisk policy.

The Milwaukee Common Council approved the settlement and Mayor Tom Barrett was expected to sign it immediately.

“Ultimately we hope that these type of situations cease and desist,” said Alderman Khalif Rainey.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin sued the department last year on behalf of a half-dozen people who claimed they were stopped once or multiple times since 2010. The ACLU found that Milwaukee police officers made more than 350,000 traffic and pedestrian stops from 2010 to 2017 for which they have no record explaining probable cause for the interaction.

The rate at which black residents were detained for traffic or pedestrian stops was more than six times higher than whites, according to the ACLU’s analysis.
