Police open fire on citizen running away from them UPDATE NEW VIDEO!!

Last edited Wed Feb 11, 2015, 03:22 PM - Edit history (2)

this was just released. WOW they straight up murdered this guy.










PASCO — Disturbing video footage has surfaced online showing police open fire on a citizen who appears to be running away from them.

The incident occurred Tuesday night in Pasco, Washington.

The citizen died at the scene after police fired multiple bullets into him.

According to witnesses at the scene, the man was suffering from a mental illness and had been throwing some small rocks on the street.

Some witnesses said that the man had punched an officer moments beforehand, and had a rock in his hands when he “took off running.”


When police showed up, the man can be seen behaving as if he were confused, and ultimately running away from them.

Rather than giving chase to the citizen, the officers are then seen firing their weapons.

The man’s body slumps to the ground, lifeless.

The identities of the three officers involved in the fatal shooting have not been released, and Police Captain Ken Roske would not specify who fired the shots.

they don't seem to understand what they are for.

Since when is it OK for cops to take their own revenge?

They are supposed to arrest suspects, not be the judge and jury.

REGARDLESS OF THE CRIME.

sorry for screaming...

Fucking morons. What the fuck is wrong with these assholes? They are not just assholes, they are cowards.

But I'm sure some idiot in the right-wing propagandaspher will point out that David killed Goliath with a rock, so they can be deadly weapons.

10 or 20 million? 1 or 2 million? 100,000 to 500,000? 20,000 to 50,000?

I think the number is increasing. I think they no longer look at American citizens as people they protect and serve but people they must control at all cost. This is the same way the uber rich capitalists look at the rest of us. Capitalism and fascism causes this.

Police force Chiefs, trainers, I.A. and supervisors should be taking some of the blame.

Where does the buck stop exactly?
