http://abc7chicago.com/news/paul-oneal-chicago-police-shooting-video-released/1458110/One of the cops, after the O'Neil was dead said, "He was shooting at us right?" They were firing on him while he was still in his car and after he was running from them they ran after him and shot him in the back.
Who wants to bet there will be another mass cop shooting somewhere soon?
This was posted by someone else last night and seemed to sit there so I am posting it again. Please kick and recommend and give this air time!!

It would take a while but it could work. And getting guns off the streets would be a big help. I sure would not want to be a cop today with everyone walking around solving their every little spat by shooting someone.

What I saw in the video this time was a bunch of cops chasing a kid and shooting him in the back. That is just murder right? How are they going to say they were in danger, (the shooter/s) when they were running after him.
I really wish this video would get more play.

(9,760 posts)shoot at people. My god, they cannot be allowed to continue in their fatal ineptitude, aggression, racism--whatever is involved in any of these cases. It's all got to go. There is a way to do their jobs without constantly killing people!
I can here the RW now. "Well, if you don't want to get shot, don't steal a car!" As if death is an appropriate punishment for stealing a car, even if a fair trail had occurred before the lethal sentence! Which, of course, in these cases it hasn't. Judge, jury, and executioner all wrapped in in a blue uniform.

It scares me to think that people are just accepting this now.
