Well, I know it’s not a popular opinion on here but I think Salamoni deserves to be fired. I was a strong defender of him until that last round of video came out.

I’ve been on the wrong end of of an over zealous cop (well, it was a prison guard because he was taken off the street for the same behavior), and that was very unprofessional and bullish of Salamoni.
I mostly agree with this. But a video in a single incident shouldn’t define the entirety of a cop. Maybe this was not the norm for this guy. It’s possible that he is a decent cop who had a bad day and just needs to be reprimanded/suspended and retrained. That would assume that the police department is healthy and administration was on top of things and not simply in cover-thine-arse reactionary mode all of the time.

Did anyone watch the latest video? Are y’all all fricking crazy? That 2nd cop absolutely should have been fired, probably should be in jail.

I’m creaming my pants if I’m Salamoni’s lawyer after that comment.

Did they just release a video today that shows something completely different from all the other videos?

I understand what you're saying, but I imagine that dealing with the likes of Alton Sterling and all the other shite I see cops dealing with on Live PD, it can make an officer become very callous towards criminals/inmates. You can send them to all the sensitivity training and BS like that, but at the end of the day they are still humans. And make judgments and decisions based on past experiences.

We should elect someone white from this board to die via suicide by cop

The Marksville situation wouldn’t have gotten the attention that it did going off of this logic.

What about a white guy in a wheelchair?

The newest one released. If you watched that one and you think he did no wrong something is wrong with you.

I call bullshite The Marksville situation got the attention because it was a kid that got shot not because of skin color

Yeah, you're right. I remember all the white people protesting in Marksville, too.
Or it could be the fact that they chased down a vehicle and killed a 6 year old innocent child and not a convicted felon who was reaching for a weapon while fighting with the police.

The (silent) majority of America do support the police. It's a small subset of the minority that don't. Unfortunately they are the loudest right now, since they have no concept of society in general.

this is the dumbest thing you've said on TD and you've said a lot of shite I don't agree with. those two scenarios have hardly anything in common.

this is a really slippery slope.
Especially when it comes to people who are employed by the city, state, etc to uphold law and order. And are given authority and the means to do so. I agree that BRPD has no right to fire Salomoni. (And disclaimer, 90% of the examples BLM and the left media uses, I take side with the Blue). But we can't be oblivious to the fact that cops do make mistakes, go outside of protocol, frick up, and it cost citizens their lives from time to time.
this isn't me and you explaining how we had a bad day at the office and decked our annoying co-worker in the office next to ours. Then sent to Anger Management training.

We have an out of control police problem, period. Maybe it's more of a problem in black communities. I think so. But maybe not. Problem is we have cops with tactical gear and donated military hardware thinking their soldiers in a way against the people.
Not all of course. Seems to be a growing issue though. We need some serious readjusting of what police are actually supposed to do.

As it stands now, we never have any idea if the police are telling the truth. We already know that people who deal with police will lie and fabricate stories to prove innocence. Now we have to wonder whether the police are doing the same.
This doesn’t happen outside of Baltimore and that one female BRPD dumbass.

Yep. White people are so persecuted in our society that cops can kill them whenever they want
