The fact that you think all cops lie, tells to your true beliefs. Sad actually. And ignorant.

You may also want to learn the difference between 'brake' and 'break'.

Certainly seems from all the videos posted here and elsewhere, a fair percentage routinely lie.

How many videos have we seen of cops breaking the law and somewhere between 1 and 6 cops are also there and they all either lie to cover up a crime, or "forget" to mention it?

Seems like a lot of cops are guilty of not reporting crimes. Kind of like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danziger_Bridge_shootings

Just one small example of cops covering up crimes to protect their fellow officers.

Few bad apples? Or corrupt police dept? Plenty of other cases as well where multiple cops ignore crimes committed by other officers.

Texas cops shoot man twice after he raises his hands. Oops, cops didn't realize someone was recording it.


From the link

“But it’s important to let the investigation go through its course so that we can ensure a thorough and complete review of all that occurred of the evidence and the actions of the officers.”

ok

“What’s important is to make sure that we don’t rush to judgment on any part of this,”

sure

“Experienced civil rights investigators from the F.B.I. will thoroughly review the facts and circumstances surrounding the shooting,” she said in a statement. “Our focus is to determine whether a civil rights violation took place as a result of a deputy willfully engaging in the use of excessive or unjustified force.”

Oh this is about the dead guys civil rights. o_O

“They also used, tried to use, nonlethal weapons to try and detain him,” she said. “And after a lengthy confrontation, both deputies fired shots, causing the man’s death.”

hmmm...

We need our police departments fixed. We only now know how big the problem is because of cameras everywhere but this kind of stuff has been going on since man began to police man. Its time for a better more just way.

Man bites dog. When video backs up what the cops said, it's hardly news. It's just what happened.
