USA:Police officer who shot man in the head during traffic stop charged with murder
 
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/p...lice-shooting/

Body cam video on that link


The black man was in his car,
getting out of his car
something went wrong.

But why Shoot him in the Head?


Prosecutor Joe Deters was just Live on FoxNewsHD
he said the Cop murdered him.
the body cams show that.

Not sure how many of this kind of shooting they're going to have to prosecute before something happens.

Every Cop needs a Live Body Cam
it can save their job as well

Disgraceful, I'm glad that they are bringing charges against him, too often the killer cops are protected when they should face the full extent of their crimes.

558 fatal shootings so far this year though, that's insane.

They have a militia not a police force, we're only 10yrs behind America don't forget.

Whilst I dont excuse the death they guy was hardly helping the officer and was acting very suspicious, he then reached for either the ignition or something and the naturally twitchy officer made a split second call.

If they guy had

1 driven a legal car
2. been cooperative and not furtive he would still be alive


Who would be a cop in urban parts of USA?

Its a thankless task

The only reason why he was considered 'suspicious' was because he was black. If it was a white person driving an illegal car they wouldn't have been shot for reaching for the ignition and that's the truth of the matter.

You're just looking for excuses to absolve the racist murderer of his guilt by blaming the victim. If a police officer is that trigger happy then he shouldn't be on the job in the first place.

I think his worry would be based on his experience of crime. I very much doubt he was a racist
