The video shows that Officer Mark Dial shot and killed Irizarry within five seconds of getting out of his cruiser.
“Outlaw,” which is a fucking incredible name for a police commissioner, is really just saying the quiet part out loud. “It’s very difficult when the details of a case change, and change in such a public way.” Like…difficult for who, you fucking monster?
This murderer is on a paid vacation. Because he murdered someone in cold blood—AND THEY ALL FUCKING LIED ABOUT IT. THEYRE ONLY GETTING CAUGHT BECAUSE THE FAMILY HAD THE RELATIVELY GOOD FORTUNE TO GET A DECENT LAWYER. WHAT THE FUCK.
This isn’t about the individual murders. Of course it is, but in the larger sense, how the fuck can these fuckers just keep perjuring themselves, and then when they get found out just paint the issue as, “oh, well, we are working to get the details straight.” MOTHERFUCKER, YOU ARE THE ONES OBSCURING THE GODDAMN DETAILS.
God fuckin dammit this is so incredibly fucked up. This is so, so, SO clearly a fucking system-wide problem. It’s not just the trigger happy cops. It’s the entire policing concept, it’s the entire concept of hierarchy, it’s legally protected murderers and liars and—honestly, just some fuckin assholes. No one should have this power. Yet here we are trying to figure out how to continue the problematic part without the ultra problematic part.
Yes.
Go to the cop subs at reddit. They can’t get past “everyone hates us because we catch them breaking the law” or “everyone hates us because they don’t know what a hard job it is.”
No assholes, it’s because very nearly every single time there is video of a controversial event what turns out to be true? Cops lied, and would clearly have never come clean about those lies without BOTH the video AND public outcry and/or unsanctioned investigation of one sort or another.
Here’s two other recent headlines about exactly that.

https://www.propublica.org/article/nypd-kawaski-trawick-killing-investigation-questionsAnyone paying attention in recent years can rattle off more names almost without thinking.
There’s a clear pattern across a wide number of departments. They are all about the legal power to end life or dispense life-altering injuries, but not whatsoever about culpability when they fuck it up. THAT is what is feeding public distrust of police, and it’s not going to stop until it becomes the exception rather than the very observable rule.
Do… do you think all cops might be… bastards?
Clearly enough are that this problem is pervasive accross several police forces. It’s clearly the case in the US, and we have a similar problem with the Police National in France (bizzarly, the Gendarmerie who performe policing outside the cities and are a part of the armed forces seem to have far less issues in this regard…)
@Phoenixbouncing Soldiers are more strictly regimented than regular police, I think. Hell, if you fuck up just a little as an MP you are out of that career field. Unfortunately, it’s because of a STRONGER hierarchy and if the leader goes bad they all go with him. Which is why when there’s war crimes it’s usually a whole unit committing them.
Of course, there’s also the aspect where the Law of Armed Conflict forbids anyone in the armed forces from doing things that civilian police forces do all the time, like using tear gas.
ACAB, as it was before so shall it be again
Fuck the fucking police.
If we weren’t living in capitalist oligarchies masquerading as “democracies”, a false report like the cops gave would land all involved in jail immediately.
Imagine if you gave this police report for murder… and it worked 99.99% of the time, even in cases where there is video evidence of your crimes AND lies?
So the cops lied openly twice… The two cops need to be in prison and leadership needs to be fired! Also, cop reports need to be sealed and only reviewed by an independent citizen elected panel. If the report doesn’t match body camera footage and witnesses then that cop needs to be fired and/or jailed for lying.
Holly shit.
I didn’t read the title correctly and thought Philadelphia cops shot Eddie Izzard,
And somehow the full story turned out to be far worse.
These cops wanted to kill someone.
And they did.
Did anyone else notice the way he ran and skipped away like a little bitch after shooting someone point blank?
Fraternal order of police. What a gang name.
shots fired
I fucking hate this so much. Every time they get trigger happy they yell it like they’re in some epic firefight to save the fucking world.
Defunding the police needs to happen yesterday. Tired of these gangsters roaming around with impunity.
