    This is so scary to me.

    For example, their excuse here is that the suspect repeatedly didn’t get out of the vehicle when commanded to. So the pig excuse is “if they had followed our instructions they wouldn’t have gotten shot”.

    Well take me for example, I’m functionally deaf. I would hear nothing of their instructions. Does that mean I deserve to be shot up because these cops are scared?

    Genuinely I mean this is the anarchism sub we’re all convinced the system is fucked. But the degree of fucked is so much more than any one person can comprehend.

    This reminds me of all those trucks LAPD turned into Swiss cheese during their hunt for Dorner. Hundreds of bullets into these pickup trucks and didn’t hit the passengers, who occupy most of the volume of the cab.

    These guys are just undertrained, panicked cowards. The scariest part is that all of those rounds went… somewhere… down range. Such a huge danger to the public as a whole.

    And according to the description of the video, the guy was still charged for “unauthorized use of a motor vehicle”…??? WTF. Let the dude go free, he was almost forcibly given a life sentence.

    [Chorus: Cop]

    Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

    Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

    You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

    I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

    Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

    [Verse 1: Cop]

    Toss another shell on the ground, I don’t need a reason, chief –

    Just a twitch, a cough, a sneeze, and I’m squeezin’

    Watch you drop like a busted pipe

    I’m the jumpy type, soon as I hear a noise at night

    I can’t talk, just dump the mag

    Into the dark – better safe than sorry, that’s my flag

    I’m a fiend for the trigger, ain’t no safety

    Count every round, reincarnate Dirty Harry

    Fuck the de-escalation, I’m on high alert

    I meditate on cover, you’re so fake – you got hurt

    I’ll put two in your chest just for reaching for your face

    The badge protects, clear the scene while I seal the case

    [Chorus: Cop]

    Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

    Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

    You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

    I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

    Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

    [Verse 2: Cop]

    So many civilians around me, yet I feel so alone

    I’m a war vet walkin’, sirens singin’ my tone

    You want that reckless fire? Go watch the bodycam to it

    City’s finest, you’ll find us inside that cruiser, ready to do it

    People right in front of my face –

    But they really might lunge or reach for their back

    I been on go for a minute –

    Yeah, they really might move me off of my track

    Yeah, I got a partner, but I still got a thousand rounds in my pack

    Trigger-happy hero, a hundred clips flexin’ –

    But still jump at a crack

    [Chorus: Cop] Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

    Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

    You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

    I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

    Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam
