Im shocked he didn’t just shoot.
Cameraman is brave has fuck to be heckling the single digit IQ party member.
Baltimore is a different place.

Rational person: this is unacceptable no matter the context.
I would only see this behavior as excusable IF there were a machine pistol involved. Or a rocket launcher, or a bmx riding down an 80ft tall cliff onto a ramp.
Too much chance of hitting someone unrelated. There could have been kids around any of those turns he blindly flew around.
I mean it turned out there was a 50 plus year old house at the end of one of his blind turns which did him in!
Is it an either/or, though? I’ve got both those thoughts at the same time.
As rational as it is to know it’s unacceptable, what IS the context? And how can we have proper distribution of just consequences?
This guy could be the reincarnation of Hitler and this behavior would still be psychotic.
I don’t think the person you’re responding to is trying to suggest otherwise. You can be curious about the context even while accepting that no possible context makes this okay.
I too am curious about what, exactly, set this officer off to escalate to such completely deranged behaviour. Not because I think there’s a justification, just because I want to know exactly what kind of lunacy this is.
Probably just racism. The cop “knew” the pedestrian was a dangerous criminal, he just didn’t have any probable cause. So he had to take matters into his own hands.
Yeah if one do this the full agency may be like that.
Nothing wrong with being curious about the context. Don’t let the dog pile get you down, too many people want to just hate blindly to feel good.
It’s much better to understand fully why you hate, imo

Praise the cameraman. Dude stayed on it!
And tried to stay where he could both record and help victims if he did manage to hit someone!
Is there a good community for this kind of stuff( Good cinematography)?
As a jury member on this future trial, sure looks like attempted murder.!
Speaking of jurors, in the case of the cop shooting a black woman in the face last year, there was only 1 black juror
This is why you NEVER invite the police to your home unless it is an absolute necessity. Once a cop shows up, the chances of you or some other innocent person ending up dead increases enormously. Even if they don’t murder someone, it is unlikely they will even resolve the issue you called about. 50% of the time they’ll get mad at the caller for disturbing them.
I don’t like to be anywhere near cops. If I’m in 7/11, and a cop walks in, I leave immediately.
They said a jury of my PEERS and yet you’ve selected a group of people who DON’T believe in killing minorities for sport. I DEMAND A RETRIAL!
You know they had to fight like hell to get that juror too.
It’s america, so you never know. He could be a good Christian boy
But he was coming right for him!
Requires a DA with a spine.
News article about this. Officer McAttemptedMurder isn’t named here, though.
“…this incident does not reflect the values or standards of the Baltimore Police Department.”
Unless they charge him with the crimes he committed, there’s no way they can convince me this isn’t a perfect reflection of their values and standards.
Jesus Christ that headline “officer suspended after viral video appears to show him almost running a man over” should instead be “officer suspended after viral video appears to show him attempting to run a man over” but local journalism is all but dead so good luck
Edit: also how the FUCK did they not include the video?! It’s literally a dudes video recording posted to social media and I don’t care if they have to take 20 minutes to censor it a little so little Timmy doesn’t hear a naughty word in the footage of a cop attempting vehicular murder, they should have already gotten permission to include the video on the article or at least included a link to it. They included a single still so it’s not like they haven’t seen it!
Police have since identified the officer in the video as Robert Parks.
“Protect” and serve by needlessly endangering literally anyone in the vicinity. Classic
Friendly reminder that “protect and serve” was just a marketing campaign that got popular. There is no factual basis behind it.
Jesus fuck, where do you Yankees get these officers from? leftovers from the McD, trained on Need for Spoed or what?
Too cowardly for war, too stupid to be normal police. Quite literally leftovers.
Edit: too
You literally have to take an IQ test to become a cop, and can be rejected for scoring too high. You literally HAVE to be a dumbfuck to “serve.”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/us-court-ruled-you-can-be-too-smart-to-be-a-cop/5420630
Would not be too hard to intentionally score low, if your are smart enough to know the right answers…
Which makes it even more astounding that these guys are too dumb to be cops.
I mean, he’s not too dumb to be a cop. He is a cop. Should? Fuuuuck no. Is? Yes.
If we’re going to be hyper-pedantic, what IS a cop?
A humanoid with state sanctioned monopoly on violence.
What do you mean by state sanctioned? Just to make sure we are on the same page.
Edit: and by violence, do you mean only physical force?
They get sent off to “everyone is a threat and trying to kill you all the time” school for 2 weeks before they get a badge and gun.
Remember the Confederacy? This cop was always a supporter.
bottom of the barrel is where
That dipshit cop is on trouble with his bosses, and all of his colleagues are going to seriously torture him. Good chance he gets fired. You can’t rampage through a busy city neighborhood trying to deliberately run down a citizen. I highly doubt we’ll be seeing a police captain on TV saying that he followed his extensive training and department policy perfectly.
Are you kidding? I can’t tell. Don’t these cops just get a paid vacation until people forget about their crimes?
Usually, but this isn’t a gun case, which they always have to defend to the heavens, no matter how wrong it is. This is just a stupid cop, behaving ridiculously.
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think the police should behave this way. If their duty is to law and order then this behavior is the antithesis of that, unlawful and creates disorder. Look at all of the drivers not knowing what to do, probably scared shitless that a cop is going to hit them and they’ll somehow be found at fault. Do you think the owner of the house he crashed into is going to see a dime? Maybe if they sue the city, but probably not. Can’t sue the officer thanks to his immunity from the consequences of his own actions. Ugh I set out to write something tongue in cheek but this shit is honestly just too infuriating.
Most obvious case of attempted manslaughter I’ve seen this week. Bake him away, toys.
Manslaughter is an accident. “A reasonable person would not have expected this behavior to result in death.”
The word you’re looking for is murder.
He was trying to murder the guy running away. He was trying to manslaughter any pedestrian who happened to be in the area.
Reckless endangerment in addition to attempted murder?
Yes, negligent homicide if he clipped any bystanders and 100% attempted murder.
Seems so =\
Why are they all shaped the same?
If not fascist, then why fascist shaped?
I assume there is not enough evidence to actually sue and jail him so he needs to be reinstated.
Give him a promotion. Make him chief of police /s
Seriously, dude should be in prison for this.
wow what the fuck
