I wonder how she managed to be one a cop. Outside of the cursing, she seems unable to construct a sentence properly, lacking basic language skills. How do you graduate high school without grasping the basics of your language? I don’t get it.
Hahahahah “the systems in place to prevent this kind of thing will be looked at” oh lord, the hilarity. Are we actually supposed to believe the police are capable of policing themselves? Another murder of an unarmed suspect in 3…2…1…
Also, a little prediction (you heard it here first!) in X amount of years there’ll be a commission looking at police corruption and it’ll make the construction industry look like proper angels.
I don’t think police corruption goes deeper then the blue wall of silence, protect the brotherhood, typical red book union behavior. In the hierarchy of corruption they only have low level of opportunities anyway, they’re just foot-soldiers doing as they’re told. The kickbacks go to the higher echelons. Ticket fixing for friends and family isn’t a scandal that’s going to warrant a commission.
Kate you regularly post the murder count for the island — do police shootings count in that statistic?
Certainly if someone killed a cop it would go on the list, but it doesn’t happen often. I don’t believe it’s happened in the 11 years I’ve been doing this blog.
The SQ tends to lose people to highway incidents, not shootings.
nevermind, the point is moot because of the distinction between murder and lawful homicide. And being trained to use a deadly firearm doesn’t imply malice aforethought.

I meant people killed by cops.

The Gazette has a map of shootings by police since 2000.
