It's A Police State

It’s become evident by the many reports of cops all over the nation going WAY too far in their attempts to “enforce the law.” They shoot unarmed people, claiming they “feared for their lives,” when the victim had his back to them with his hands up at the time. Cops are becoming way too officious, and disregard the law in their actions. Now it’s the U. S Marshals in (where else?) Albuquerque, NM, who shot an unarmed man, then tried to “confiscate” (steal) the cell phones of all bystanders who might have videoed their crime, saying those phones “contained evidence.” Yeah, right. “Evidence” they wanted to delete. The cops stopped the man, hollered “hands up,” and immediately shot him before he had a chance to do anything.

Then they tried to bully bystanders so there would be no “evidence” of their wrongdoing. This is not a piece against cops. It IS a piece against cops who act too fast and shoot people without real cause, then try and intimidate bystanders, as well  as against cops who shoot people in the back while they have their hands in the air. This victim did survive (so far), but that’s no thanks to the marshals on the scene, who did give him first aid, but apparently waited a long time to call an ambulance. The video I saw showed them just “standing around” while ONE cop tried to stop his bleeding. Cops today are too arrogant and seem to think THEIR WORD is law, not the laws passed in congress and their own legislators. (News With Attitude)
